Re: [Xen-devel] [GSoc] GSoc Introduction : Xen on ARM: create multiple guests from device tree

[Stefano Stabellini <sstabellini@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Methuku,

It is great to hear that you are interested in working on Xen on ARM.
It's good that you already know how to build and install Xen on an ARM
board.

Do you have serial access to your Nvidia Jetson TK1? If not, I would
suggest to setup another test environment based on a different board, or
simply use the ARM Foundation Platform which is a free (as in beer)
software emulator.

In terms of bug fixes, you could give a look at

https://xenproject.atlassian.net/projects/XEN/issues

Most of the items listed are large projects, but some of them are pretty
small, small enough to be a starting point. For example XEN-29 (Add
-fstack-protector support to the hypervisor), XEN-30 (Make out-of-tree
builds work) or XEN-38 (Xen - Embed .config in Xen binary).

Cheers,

Stefano
