Current Status

Secure Xen on ARM supports the ARMv7 architecture family, specific platform we test/run on is:

• nVidia Tegra250 Development Board

Note : This release does not support all architectures prior to ARM v7. Previous versions of Xen-ARM can be found on the Xen-ARM archives section.

• Note that Xen ARM is currently rebased onto xen-unstable such that it can be upstreamed. The work is currently performed on Jaemin Ryu's personal branch
