Introduction

Xen is a free and open source type-1 hypervisor.  The Xen hypervisor is developed as a Linux Foundation project as part of the Xen Project.

On AMD-Xilinx devices, Xen runs as part of Arm execution-level 2 (EL2).  Xen hypervisor consists of three components:

  1. Xen Core - the central management engine of the Xen hypervisor
  2. Xen Domain 0 (Dom0) - the primary control domain.  This domain hosts Xen utilities used to manage the lifecycle of User Domains
  3. One or more User Domains (DomU) - the various user/application domains.  These domains run user applications and operating systems.
