|---|---|---|
| How to do PCI Passthrough with VT-d | Xen PCI Passthrough Overview, VT-d HowTo | |
| Virtual TPM support | This document gives a short introduction to the virtual TPM support in XEN and goes as far as connecting a user domain to a virtual TPM instance and doing a short test to verify success. It is assumed that the user is fairly familiar with compiling and installing XEN and Linux on a machine. | Virtual Trusted Platform Module (research note) |
