We highly recommended that you follow these instructions to
upgrade to v2.6 from previous ACRN releases.
Generate New Board XML
======================
Board XML files, generated by ACRN board inspector, contain board information
that is essential to build ACRN. Compared to previous versions, ACRN v2.6 adds
the following hardware information to board XMLs to support the new features and
fixes.
- Maximum width of physical and linear addresses
- Device objects in the ACPI namespace
- Routing of PCI interrupt pins
- Number of requested vectors of MSI-capable PCI devices
The new board XML can be generated using the ACRN board inspector in the same
way as ACRN v2.5. Refer to :ref:`acrn_config_workflow` for a complete list of
steps to deploy and run the tool.
Add New Configuration Options
=============================
In v2.6, the following elements are added to scenario XML files.
- :option:`hv.FEATURES.ENFORCE_TURNOFF_GP` (Default value is ``n``)
- :option:`hv.FEATURES.SECURITY_VM_FIXUP` (Default value is ``n``)
