Thank you for adding support of a new board in Xen.
During the last hackathon, we discussed about improving pre-release
testing on ARM hardware [1] and helping users to boot Xen on supported
board.
This patch is the first board officially supported since then, so I
would like to start applying what was discussed (I will put on a wiki
page later). Below the list of things that I would like to see when a
new board is added:
- Create a wiki page to explain the requirements to boot Xen on the
board (e.g new firmware if not supported out of box, linux version,...);
- Add a link to the new page in [2];
- Add the contact details in [3] of someone who would could test
pre-release and help out users to boot Xen on the board.
I do not expect the latter point to be time consuming. It is basically
checking if Xen boots before each release and possibly update the
requirements of the board. For the part helping users, it will mostly be
question related to booting Xen on the hardware. Others may not be able
to answer because they do not have the board on their desk.
In the future, I would like to see Xen tested before each release on all
the boards officially supported. If it was not tested, we will consider
the board as not supported.
