Minos
Flexible Virtualization Solution for Embedded System
What is Minos
Minos is a flexible virtualization solution for embedded system, which can provide the trusted reliability and performance for embedded system while also allowing multiple operating systems to safely co-exist on the same System on Chip (SoC).
Minos defines a device hypervisor reference stack and an architecture for running multiple software subsystems, managed securely, on a consolidated system by means of a virtual machine manager. Minos can be used as a Type 1 reference hypervisor stack, running directly on the bare-metal hardware, and is suitable for a variety of IoT and embedded device solutions. Minos addresses the gap that currently exists between datacenter hypervisors, and hard partitioning hypervisors. The hypervisor architecture partitions the system into different functional domains, with carefully selected guest OS sharing optimizations for IoT and embedded devices.
