ACRN v2.3 (Dec 2020)
|
||||
####################
|
||||
|
||||
We are pleased to announce the release of the Project ACRN
|
||||
hypervisor version 2.3.
|
||||
|
||||
ACRN is a flexible, lightweight reference hypervisor that is built with
|
||||
real-time and safety-criticality in mind. It is optimized to streamline
|
||||
embedded development through an open source platform. Check out the
|
||||
:ref:`introduction` introduction for more information. All project ACRN
|
||||
source code is maintained in the
|
||||
https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor repository and includes
|
||||
folders for the ACRN hypervisor, the ACRN device model, tools, and
|
||||
documentation. You can either download this source code as a zip or
|
||||
tar.gz file (see the `ACRN v2.3 GitHub release page
|
||||
<https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor/releases/tag/v2.3>`_) or
|
||||
use Git clone and checkout commands::
|
||||
|
||||
git clone https://github.com/projectacrn/acrn-hypervisor
|
||||
cd acrn-hypervisor
|
||||
git checkout v2.3
|
||||
|
||||
The project's online technical documentation is also tagged to
|
||||
correspond with a specific release: generated v2.3 documents can be
|
||||
found at https://projectacrn.github.io/2.3/. Documentation for the
|
||||
latest under-development branch is found at
|
||||
https://projectacrn.github.io/latest/.
|
||||
|
||||
ACRN v2.3 requires Ubuntu 18.04. Follow the instructions in the
|
||||
:ref:`rt_industry_ubuntu_setup` to get started with ACRN.

||||

||||
|
||||
What's New in v2.3
|
||||
******************
|
||||
|
||||
Enhanced GPU passthru (GVT-d)
|
||||
GPU passthru (GVT-d) to Windows as a guest is now enabled for 11th Gen
|
||||
Intel® Core™ processors (codenamed Tiger Lake-UP3).
|
||||
|
||||
Shared memory based inter-VM communication (ivshmem) is extended
|
||||
ivshmem now supports interrupts (See :ref:`ivshmem-hld`).
|
||||
|
||||
Enhanced vUART support
|
||||
Added console support using legacy vUART (0x3F8-like) and
|
||||
added PCI vUART (up to 8) for VM-to-VM communication.
|
||||
|
||||
End-to-end secure boot improvement
|
||||
OVMF can be loaded now as two blobs, one for code and the other for data.
|
||||
The code blob can be verified by the Service VM's ``dm-verify`` as
|
||||
a step in the end-to-end secure boot.
|
||||
|
||||
Enhanced system shutdown
|
||||
The pre-launched VM may now initiate a system shutdown or reset.
|
||||
|
||||
Removed deprivileged boot mode support
|
||||
ACRN has supported deprivileged boot mode to ease the integration of
|
||||
Linux distributions such as Clear Linux. Unfortunately, deprivileged boot
|
||||
mode limits ACRN's scalability and is unsuitable for ACRN's hybrid
|
||||
hypervisor mode. In ACRN v2.2, deprivileged boot mode was no longer the default
|
||||
and completely removed in ACRN v2.3. We're focusing instead
|
||||
on using the simpler and more scalable multiboot2 boot (via Grub).
|
||||
Multiboot2 is not supported in
|
||||
Clear Linux so we have chosen Ubuntu (and Yocto Project) as the
|
||||
preferred Service VM OSs moving forward.
|
||||
|
||||
Document updates

|

|
||||
Because we're dropped deprivileged boot mode support,
|
||||
we're also switching our Service VM of choice away from Clear
|
||||
Linux and have removed
|
||||
Clear Linux-specific tutorials. Deleted documents are still
|
||||
available in the `version-specific v2.1 documentation
|
||||
<https://projectacrn.github.io/v2.1/>`_.
