Lesson plan
Embedded hypervisor
An embedded hypervisor is a hypervisor that supports the requirements of embedded systems. The requirements for an embedded hypervisor are distinct from hypervisors targeting server and desktop applications. An embedded hypervisor is designed into the embedded device from the outset, rather than loaded subsequent to device deployment. While desktop and enterprise environments use hypervisors to consolidate hardware and isolate computing environments from one another, in an embedded system, the various components typically function collectively to provide the device's functionality. Mobile virtualization overlaps with embedded system virtualization, and shares some use cases. Typical attributes of embedded virtualization include efficiency, security, communication, isolation and real-time capabilities.
