Abstract

Recently various virtualization techniques have been applied to embedded systems. Among various hardware resources, memory is one of the most important components to virtualize an embedded system. In this paper, we modify an existing virtual machine monitor (VMM) in order to support MMU functionality. The proposed VMM can support many guest operating systems, which are based on flat memory model, at the same time. The measurement study shows that the proposed scheme does not degrade performance of VMM significantly, while restrict memory access of each guest OS in order to protect the rest of the system effectively.
