LinuxCon + ContainerCon + CloudOpen China 2018

Today’s connected devices are increasingly expected to support a range of hardware resources, operating systems, and software tools/applications. Virtualization is key to meeting these broad needs, however, existing solutions don’t offer the right size and flexibility for IoT. Data center hypervisor code is too big, doesn’t offer safety-critical capabilities, and requires too much overhead for embedded development. Proprietary solutions are expensive and make it difficult to deliver long-term product support. In this presentation, Yu Wang will introduce a flexible, lightweight reference hypervisor, built with real-time and safety-criticality in mind, optimized to streamline embedded development through an open source platform. Its name is ACRN which is a Linux Foundation project.
