Hi Peng,
In theory the existing VMM should work directly on the multi-core seL4 without any changes if you just want everything running on one core. I say 'in theory' because the API is not confirmed yet, but in our experimental version the API is backwards compatible (although I haven't tried the VMM on it). If the API does change I would expect the changes required to get the VMM to work would be extremely trivial.

Gernot also told me that this version of VMM does not support multi core. My questions are: 1) Can this single core version of VMM be run on top of multi-core sel4 just using one core without modification? 2) If not, what supports are missed in the multi-core version of sel4? I assume single-core version applications should be compatible with multi-core micro kernel. 3) If my assumption is wrong, what do we (as VMM developer) need to add to the VMM code to make it workable on the multi-core seL4?
thanks Peng
