This is a list of open work items and known bugs for the Xen on ARM with virtualization extension project.
In progress
- Xen 64-bit guests support: http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=136310027317761 by Ian Campbell
- Xen SMP: http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=136256023123214 by Ian Campbell
- Xen guest SMP support: http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=136430925010828 by Stefano Stabellini
- Linux SMP on Xen: http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=136430893610688&w=2 by Stefano Stabellini
- trap WFI in Xen: http://marc.info/?l=xen-devel&m=136492132108133 by Stefano Stabellini
- Remove hardcoded numbers and addresses in Xen, use device tree for everything. This enables a single Xen binary to boot on multiple platforms (Julien Grall).
Known Bugs
Versatile Express
- Linux v3.8-rc2 fails to change the MMC voltage during boot on Versatile Express, a patch is needed to fix the bug.
Arndale Board
- Hangs on the Arndale board with multi-vcpu guests: fix by Julien Grall
- Network doesn't work in the guest on the Arndale Board when an ethernet cable is plugged.
