The Xen Project

📣 Good news! We’re extending the Xen Summit 2026 Call for Proposals by one week. We’ve already received some great submissions, and we’d love to see even more from across the Xen community. Whether you’re working on embedded systems, automotive, safety, cloud, data centers, security, or anything Xen related, we’d love to hear your story. 🗓 New CFP deadline: July 7 🎤 Submit your talk: https://lnkd.in/esdtpbYr We’ll see you in Munich this September!

📣 The Xen Summit 2026 Call for Speakers is now open! Join us in Munich, Germany, from September 15-17, 2026, for three days of technical talks, collaboration, and discussions around Xen and virtualization technologies. We’re looking for talks covering topics such as: • Xen development • Embedded and automotive systems • Functional safety and security • Cloud and datacenter infrastructure • Performance and benchmarking • Tooling and automation • Real-world deployments and case studies • Open source collaboration and community building Whether you’re a long-time contributor or sharing your first Xen-related experience, we’d love to hear from you. First-time speakers are encouraged to submit. 🗓️ CFP closes June 30, 2026 Submit your proposal: https://lnkd.in/esdtpbYr See you in Munich! #XenProject #OpenSource #Virtualization #EmbeddedSystems #Automotive #FunctionalSafety

🚀 Have something interesting you’ve built with Xen? We’d love to hear about it. The current Call for Proposals deadline for Xen Summit 2026 is tomorrow. If you’ve been thinking about submitting a talk, now is the perfect time to get your proposal in. We’re looking for presentations on topics including: • Embedded systems • Automotive and software-defined vehicles • Safety and mixed-criticality systems • Cloud infrastructure • Security • Performance optimization • Tooling and developer experience • Virtualization research • Real-world deployments and case studies You don’t need a major product announcement or groundbreaking research. Some of the best talks come from practical engineering experiences, lessons learned, and technical deep dives that help others build better systems. 📅 Xen Summit 2026 📍 Munich, Germany 🗓 September 15-17, 2026 🎤 Submit your proposal: https://lnkd.in/esdtpbYr 🎟 Register for the event: https://lnkd.in/e86CD85r ℹ️ Learn more about the conference: https://lnkd.in/e72SE4yj We’d love to see what you’ve been working on.

Xen + The Zephyr Project + Automotive Grade Linux : Your mixed-criticality automotive stack is ready… and open source! We are looking forward to seeing Yuichi Kusakabe talk on YouTube! Honda is driving the future of software defined vehicles!

AMD is doing some amazing work with Xen. Looking forward to seeing what’s next!

Dom0 now boots on Xen for RISC-V. The RISC-V port has reached the point where Dom0, the control domain, comes up and answers xl info and xl list. That's the last big milestone before guest domains. Getting there meant building out event channels and interrupt handling, the hypercall dispatch table, xenstore startup, and XSM operations, with the inevitable detours into the Linux kernel. Baptiste Le Duc, a hypervisor and kernel engineering intern at Vates Virtualization Management Stack (XCP-ng / Xen Orchestra), did the work and wrote it up. It builds on the ongoing upstream RISC-V port led by Oleksii Kurochko and the RT-RK team. The part worth trying yourself: a Docker image that builds and runs a Dom0 from any x86 machine, with no toolchain to assemble by hand. It bundles the Linux kernel, QEMU with AIA support, and OpenSBI, so you go from clone to a booting Dom0 without the usual cross-compiler setup. If you've wanted to poke at Xen on RISC-V but didn't fancy the plumbing, this is your way in. Read the write-up on the XCP-ng blog: https://lnkd.in/edjDJuJW Docker image: baptleduc/xen-riscv64-trixie Branch: https://lnkd.in/eNaW5ecq Guest domain creation (xl create) is next. #Xen #RISCV #Hypervisor #OpenSource #Virtualization
