Looks like all basic functions working normally - I have successfully load

As you ok with this - I will create Salvator-X board related page on Xen
wiki.
But first of all, I will update yocto layer mentioned by Andrii with
minimal setup, based on the latest Renesas & Xen releases.
This should be helpful for easier out of box board setup.

Thank you.

With the best regards,
Iurii Mykhalskyi
