running 2 Linux above bao hypervisor

[Rivanfirdausa]

Previously, I was able to run Linux on Toradex Verdin IMX8Mplus, but that was only one VM. I want to run two VMs, namely Linux and Linux again. Are there any special configurations? Will there be two bao.bin files? And if I run two Linuxes, does that mean I have to use two different device trees? Or just one device tree? Have you ever tried two Linux distributions? I need guidance on this matter.

No. Apart from platform specific issues as we discussed in #312, it is just the matter of adding the extra VM to the configuration

Will there be two bao.bin files?

No. Always a single bao.bin. Bao is a single image.

And if I run two Linuxes, does that mean I have to use two different device trees? Or just one device tree?

Yes. Essentially you have to have two distinct device trees, one corresponding to each VM configuration in Bao's config file. You should then generate two images using the bao-guest-loader which you include separately on the config file using the VM_IMAGE macro.

Have you ever tried two Linux distributions?

I am not sure I've ever tried running two different Linux distributions simultaneously, but that shouldn't matter. In the new Bao VirtIO Demo were running three different Linux instances simultaneously, albeit they are all the same distribution (buildroot).

I need guidance on this matter.

Happy to help in whatever else I can.

Do you have an example for imx8mp.c? for 2 linux

@Rivanfirdausa I don't think we do. But are there any specific challenges for that platform you are facing?
