Description
Develop virtualization solutions utilizing a minimalistic hypervisor that operates without the need for any external kernel extensions. The hypervisor offers C APIs, allowing for interaction with virtualization technologies directly in user space, eliminating the necessity of writing kernel extensions (KEXTs). Consequently, the applications designed with this framework can be distributed through the Mac App Store. Leverage this framework to create and manage hardware-accelerated virtual machines and virtual processors (VMs and vCPUs) from your authorized, sandboxed user-space application. The Hypervisor simplifies the concept of virtual machines as processes and treats virtual processors as threads. It is important to note that the Hypervisor framework relies on hardware capabilities to virtualize resources efficiently. For Apple silicon, this entails support for the Virtualization Extensions, while for Intel-based Macs, it necessitates systems equipped with an Intel VT-x feature set that includes Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. This ensures the framework is optimized for performance and security across various hardware configurations.
Description
We work alongside both open-source communities and commercial entities to ensure that MIPS is well-supported across many leading Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS) as well as emerging IoT-targeted Operating Systems. Furthermore, we have created the MIPS Embedded Operating System (MEOS), which incorporates Virtualization extensions specifically designed for deeply embedded applications and the IoT sector. As MIPS’ proprietary real-time operating system, MEOS is prioritized for updates, ensuring it is the first to incorporate new cores and architectural advancements. The latest release, version 3.1, introduces a virtualization library that transforms MEOS into a hypervisor compatible with MIPS cores featuring the MIPS Virtualization module. Additionally, we are committed to fostering the development of open-source real-time and IoT operating systems by providing engineering resources and supplying necessary development hardware and tools whenever feasible. This collaborative approach not only enhances the ecosystem but also accelerates innovation in the field.
