@ -15,6 +15,10 @@ resource partitioning. A wide range of User VM OSs (such as Windows 10,
Ubuntu, Android, and VxWorks) can run on ACRN, running different
workloads and applications on the same hardware platform.
A new hybrid-mode architecture adds flexibility to simultaneously
support both traditional resource sharing among VMs and complete VM
resource partitioning required for functional safety requirements.
Workload management and orchestration, rather standard and mature in
cloud environments, are enabled now in ACRN, allowing open source
orchestrators such as OpenStack to manage ACRN virtual machines. Kata
@ -103,7 +107,7 @@ Pre-launched Safety VM Support
ACRN supports a pre-launched partitioned safety VM, isolated from the
Service VM and other post-launched VM by using partitioned HW resources.
For example, in the hybrid mode, a real-time Zephyr RTOS VM can be
"pre-launched" by the hypervisor even before the Service VM is launched,
*pre-launched* by the hypervisor even before the Service VM is launched,
and with its own dedicated resources to achieve a high level of
isolation. This is designed to meet the needs of a Functional Safety OS.

The ACRN hypervisor can boot from the popular GRUB bootloader using
either the multiboot or multiboot2 prococol (the latter adding UEFI
support). GRUB provides developers with booting flexibility.
