Bruce Ashfield 05959ccaaf uxen: convert WORKDIR references to UNPACKDIR While the WORKDIR references seem to work, they may not continue to work. We switch to using UNPACKDIR which is where the SRC_URI referenced elements / files will be placed by the fetcher. Note: gcc-14 issues remain even with this fix.

uXen : Open Source type-2 hypervisor support

For any issues with the uXen recipes please make sure you CC:

christopher.w.clark@gmail.com

uxen-guest-tools : software for within guest VMs, kernel modules

uxenhc : hypercall driver
uxenfb : framebuffer driver
uxenhid : Human Input Device driver
uxennet : virtual network device driver
uxenplatform : uXen platform device driver
uxenstor : virtual storage device driver
uxenv4vlib : v4v, Hypervisor-Mediated data eXchange
v4vvsock : v4v vsock virtual network device driver
v4vtest : basic v4v vsock test

To produce a bootable VM disk image file:

wic create directdisk -e uxen-guest-image-minimal

To test, copy the .direct file that wic produces to the host with uXen installed and write the following to a new file: linux-vm.json. Update the file path within it to point to your wic-generated disk image:

{
  "name" : "Linux Virtual Machine",
  "boot-order" : "c",
  "block" :
    { "id": "ich0", "proto" : "raw", "xsnapshot" : true,
      "path" : "c:/Users/Yocto/directdisk-202001010100-sda.direct" },
  "memory" : 768,
  "net" : { "type" : "nic", "model" : "e1000" },
  "hpet" : 1,
  "vcpus" : 1,
  "use-v4v-net" : 1,
  "v4v-storage" : true,

  "" : ""
}

and then boot it:

uxendm -F linux-vm.json
