Preface
With the explosive growth of IoT devices and the rapid development of Internet of Everything applications, virtualization technologyhas received great attention from the industry in embedded systems. More and more attention, attention and practical application. Embedded systems and Virtualization technology This cross-border innovative combination came into being Its typical application scenarios include software-defined car cockpits, workload integration in the industrial field, etc.
1 Background overview
Why do embedded systems need virtualization technology?
Introduction
Virtualization technologyEspecially open source virtualization technology, which forms the cornerstone of cloud computing and promotes the vigorous development of the cloud era. With the exponential development of the Internet of Things, which connects everything, virtualization technology has also begun to be widely used in the embedded field.
The reasons that can prompt embedded devices to support virtualization technology are as follows:
First, with the development of semiconductor technology, Moore's Law promotes hardware performance improvement and cost reduction. Today's embedded SoC may even outperform yesterday's servers.
Second, ubiquitous CPU The development of multi-core technology can naturally support multiple systems.
Third, there is the need for load integration and digital interconnection of different businesses.
Fourth, consider saving hardware costs, reduce the interconnection of hardware systems, and reduce the complexity of the overall hardware system.
Fifth, the system needs to reuse existing software systems to reduce the workload of transplantation. You can also integrate multiple "heterogeneous" operating systems (real-time systems and non-real-time systems, safety systems and non-safety systems) into one system superior.
This book is written by experts from the virtualization project team of Intel Open Source Software Technology Center. Introducing the basic principles of virtualization around the core content of embedded virtualization technology, and explaining Linux in detail > Foundation’s open source embedded virtual machineACRN architecture, principle and application implementation of technology.
This book also specifically discloses and summarizes real-time performance tuning methods and functional safety certification practices for virtualized systems. Readers can realize a "small size, big power" embedded virtual machine on the x86 platform from the first line of code.
