uXen is a type-2 Open Source hypervisor from Bromium/HP.
https://www.bromium.com/opensource/
This adds packaging for the Linux guest support software, enabling OE
to produce VM images to run on the uXen hypervisor.

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
