ACRN is a flexible, lightweight reference hypervisor, built with
|
|
real-time and safety-criticality in mind, optimized to streamline
|
|
embedded development through an open source platform.
|
|
|
|
The project ACRN reference code can be found on GitHug in https://github.com/projectacrn
|
|
It includes the ACRN hypervisor, the ACRN device model and
|
|
documentation.
