Explore hypervisor-less virtio for real-time and safety applications in this conference talk by Maarten Koning from Wind River. Delve into the evolution of fixed-function embedded systems into intelligent edge devices and their integration with backend systems. Examine the challenges posed by Moore's Law and the increasing complexity of software in multicore SoCs. Learn about partitioning as a solution and the growing trend of Linux in edge devices. Discover the use case of KVM with core isolation for Time Sensitive Networking (TSN) offload, and understand the hypervisor-less virtio shared memory layout and scenarios. Gain insights into the performance of virtio MMIO with MS in hypervisor environments and draw valuable conclusions for implementing these technologies in real-time and safety-critical systems.
