+Enable ACRN over QEMU/KVM
+#########################
+
+Goal of this document is to bring-up ACRN as a nested Hypervisor on top of QEMU/KVM
+with basic functionality such as running Service VM (SOS) and User VM (UOS) for primarily 2 reasons,
+
+1. In order for the users to evaluate ACRN.
+2. Make ACRN platform agnostic and remove per hardware platform configurations setup overhead.
+
+This setup was tested with the following configuration,
+
+- ACRN Hypervisor: tag acrn-2020w19.5-140000p (Commit ID: b0ae9cfa2b374d3faad9f890ff61e88f97205ac8)
+- ACRN Kernel: 5.4.28 (Commit ID: a8cd22f49f0b2b56e526150fe0aaa9118edfcede)
+- QEMU emulator version 4.2.0
+- Service VM/User VM is ubuntu18.04
+- Platforms Tested: ApolloLake, KabyLake, CoffeeLake
+
+
+Pre-Requisites
+**************
+1. Make sure the platform supports Intel VMX as well as VT-d technologies. On ubuntu18.04, this
+   can be checked by installing ``cpu-checker`` tool. If the output displays **KVM acceleration can be used**
+   the platform supports it.
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ kvm-ok
+      INFO: /dev/kvm exists
+      KVM acceleration can be used
+
+2. Ensure the Ubuntu18.04 Host kernel version is **atleast 5.3.0** and above.
+
+3. Make sure KVM and the following utilities are installed.
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ sudo apt update && sudo apt upgrade -y
+      $ sudo apt install qemu-kvm libvirt-bin virtinst -y
+
+
+Prepare Service VM (L1 Guest)
+*****************************
+1. Use ``virt-install`` command to create Service VM.
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      virt-install \
+      --connect qemu:///system \
+      --name ACRNSOS \
+      --machine q35 \
+      --cpu host-passthrough,+invtsc \
+      --ram 4096 \
+      --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/acrnsos.img,size=32 \
+      --vcpus 4 \
+      --virt-type kvm \
+      --os-type linux \
+      --os-variant ubuntu18.04 \
+      --graphics none \
+      --clock offset=utc,tsc_present=yes,kvmclock_present=no \
+      --qemu-commandline="-machine kernel-irqchip=split -device intel-iommu,intremap=on,caching-mode=on,aw-bits=48" \
+      --location 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/' \
+      --extra-args "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"
+
+2. Walk through the installation steps as prompted. Here are a few things to note:
+
+   a. Make sure to install an OpenSSH server so that once the installation is complete, we can SSH into the system.
+
+      .. figure:: images/acrn_qemu_1.png
+         :align: center
+
+   b. We use GRUB to boot ACRN, so make sure you install it when prompted.
+
+      .. figure:: images/acrn_qemu_2.png
+         :align: center
+
+3. To login to the Service VM guest, find the IP address of the guest to SSH. This can be done via the
+   virsh command as shown below,
+
+   .. figure:: images/acrn_qemu_3.png
+      :align: center
+
+4. Once ACRN hypervisor is enabled, the above virsh command might not display the IP. So enable Serial console by,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ sudo systemctl enable serial-getty@ttyS0.service
+      $ sudo systemctl start serial-getty@ttyS0.service
+
+   .. note::
+      You might want to write down the Service VM IP address in case you want to SSH to it.
+
+5. Enable GRUB menu to choose between Ubuntu vs ACRN hypervisor. Modify :file:`/etc/default/grub` and edit below entries,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      GRUB_TIMEOUT_STYLE=menu
+      GRUB_TIMEOUT=5
+      GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT=""
+      GRUB_GFXMODE=text
+
+6. Update GRUB changes by ``sudo update-grub``
+
+7. Once the above steps are done, Service VM guest can also be launched using, ``virsh start ACRNSOS --console``. Make sure to use the domain name
+   you used while creating the VM instead of ``ACRNSOS``.
+
+This concludes setting up of Service VM and preparing it to boot ACRN hypervisor.
+
+.. _install_acrn_hypervisor:
+
+Install ACRN Hypervisor
+***********************
+
+1. Clone ACRN repo with ``tag: acrn-2020w19.5-140000p`` or latest master. Below steps show our tested version,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor.git
+      $ cd acrn-hypervisor/
+      $ git fetch --all --tags --prune
+      $ git checkout tags/acrn-2020w19.5-140000p -b acrn_on_qemu
+
+2. Use the following command to build ACRN for QEMU,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ make all BOARD_FILE=./misc/acrn-config/xmls/board-xmls/qemu.xml  SCENARIO_FILE=./misc/acrn-config/xmls/config-xmls/qemu/sdc.xml
+
+ For more details, refer to :ref:`getting-started-building`.
+
+3. Copy ``acrn.32.out`` from ``build/hypervisor`` to Service VM guest ``/boot/`` directory.
+
+4. Clone and build the Service VM kernel that includes the virtio-blk driver. User VM (L2 guest) uses virtio-blk
+   driver to mount rootfs.
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-kernel
+      $ cd acrn-kernel
+      $ cp kernel_config_uefi_sos to .config
+      $ make olddefconfig
+      $ make menuconfig
+      $ make
+
+   The below figure shows the drivers to be enabled using ``make menuconfig`` command.
+
+      .. figure:: images/acrn_qemu_4.png
+         :align: center
+
+   Once the Service VM kernel is built successfully, copy ``arch/x86/boot/bzImage`` to the Service VM /boot/ directory and rename it to ``bzImage_sos``.
+
+   .. note::
+      The Service VM kernel contains all needed drivers so you won't need to install extra kernel modules.
+
+5. Update Ubuntu GRUB to boot ACRN hypervisor and load ACRN Kernel Image. Append the following
+   configuration to the :file:`/etc/grub.d/40_custom`,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      menuentry 'ACRN hypervisor' --class ubuntu --class gnu-linux --class gnu --class os $menuentry_id_option 'gnulinux-simple-e23c76ae-b06d-4a6e-ad42-46b8eedfd7d3' {
+         recordfail
+         load_video
+         gfxmode $linux_gfx_mode
+         insmod gzio
+         insmod part_msdos
+         insmod ext2
+
+         echo 'Loading ACRN hypervisor with SDC scenario ...'
+         multiboot --quirk-modules-after-kernel /boot/acrn.32.out
+         module /boot/bzImage_sos Linux_bzImage
+      }
+
+6. Update GRUB ``sudo update-grub``.
+
+7. Shutdown the guest and relaunch using, ``virsh start ACRNSOS --console`` and select ACRN hypervisor from GRUB menu to launch Service VM running on top of ACRN.
+   This can be verified from ``dmesg`` as shown below,
+
+   .. code-block:: console
+
+      guestl1@ACRNSOS:~$ dmesg | grep ACRN
+      [    0.000000] Hypervisor detected: ACRN
+      [    2.337176] ACRNTrace: Initialized acrn trace module with 4 cpu
+      [    2.368358] ACRN HVLog: Initialized hvlog module with 4 cpu
+      [    2.727905] systemd[1]: Set hostname to <ACRNSOS>.
+
+8. When shutting down, make sure to cleanly destroy the Service VM to prevent crashes in subsequent boots. This can be done using,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      virsh destroy ACRNSOS # where ACRNSOS is the virsh domain name.
+
+
+Service VM Networking updates for User VM
+*****************************************
+Follow these steps to enable networking for the User VM (L2 guest):
+
+1. Edit your :file:`/etc/netplan/01-netcfg.yaml` file to add acrn-br0 as below,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      network:
+         version: 2
+         renderer: networkd
+         ethernets:
+            enp1s0:
+               dhcp4: no
+         bridges:
+            acrn-br0:
+               interfaces: [enp1s0]
+               dhcp4: true
+               dhcp6: no
+
+2. Apply the new network configuration by,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ cd /etc/netplan
+      $ sudo netplan generate
+      $ sudo netplan apply
+
+3. Create a tap interface (tap0) and add the tap interface as part of the acrn-br0 using the below steps,
+
+   a. Copy files ``misc/acrnbridge/acrn.network`` and ``misc/acrnbridge/tap0.netdev`` from the cloned ACRN repo to :file:`/usr/lib/system/network`.
+   b. Rename ``acrn.network`` to ``50-acrn.network``.
+   c. Rename ``tap0.netdev`` to ``50-tap0.netdev``.
+
+4. Restart ACRNSOS guest (L1 guest) to complete the setup and start with bring-up of User VM
+
+
+Bring-up User VM (L2 Guest)
+***************************
+1. Build the device-model, using ``make devicemodel`` and copy acrn-dm to ACRNSOS guest (L1 guest) directory ``/usr/bin/acrn-dm``
+
+   .. note::
+      It should be already built as part of :ref:`install_acrn_hypervisor`.
+
+2. On the ACRNSOS guest, install shared libraries for acrn-dm (if not already installed).
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ sudo apt-get install libpciaccess-dev
+
+3. Install latest `IASL tool <https://acpica.org/downloads>`_ and copy the binary to ``/usr/sbin/iasl``.
+   For this setup, used IASL 20200326 version but anything after 20190215 should be good.
+
+4. Clone latest stable version or master and build ACRN User VM Kernel.
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      $ git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-kernel
+      $ cd acrn-kernel
+      $ cp kernel_config_uos to .config
+      $ make
+
+   Once the User VM kernel is built successfully, copy ``arch/x86/boot/bzImage`` to  ACRNSOS (L1 guest) and rename this to ``bzImage_uos``. Need this to launch the User VM (L2 guest)
+
+   .. note::
+      The User VM kernel contains all needed drivers so you won't need to install extra kernel modules.
+
+5. Build ubuntu.img using :ref:`build-the-ubuntu-kvm-image` and copy it to the ACRNSOS (L1 Guest).
+   Alternatively you can also use virt-install to create a User VM image similar to ACRNSOS as shown below,
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      virt-install \
+      --name UOS \
+      --ram 2048 \
+      --disk path=/var/lib/libvirt/images/UOSUbuntu.img,size=8 \
+      --vcpus 2 \
+      --virt-type kvm \
+      --os-type linux \
+      --os-variant ubuntu18.04 \
+      --graphics none \
+      --location 'http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/dists/bionic/main/installer-amd64/' \
+      --extra-args "console=tty0 console=ttyS0,115200n8"
+
+   .. note::
+      Image at ``/var/lib/libvirt/images/UOSUbuntu.img`` is a qcow2 image. Convert it to raw image using, ``qemu-img convert -f qcow2 UOSUbuntu.img -O raw UOS.img``
+
+6. Launch User VM using launch script from the cloned repo path ``devicemodel/samples/launch_ubuntu.sh``. Make sure to update with your ubuntu image and rootfs
+
+   .. code-block:: none
+
+      acrn-dm -A -m $mem_size -s 0:0,hostbridge \
