SOS
Service OS
Service VM
A special VM, directly launched by the hypervisor. The Service VM can
access hardware resources directly by running native drivers and provides
device sharing services to post-launched User VMs through the ACRN Device
Model (DM). Hardware resources include CPUs, memory, graphics memory, USB
devices, disk, and network mediation. *(Historically, the Service VM was
