The best way to understand a new technology is to try it out: This tutorial will give a detailed introduction into bootstrapping the partitioning hypervisor Jailhouse on an x86 and an ARM/ARM64 board. The goal is to have Jailhouse running at the end on both real targets, hosting multiple Linux systems as well as bare-metal or classic RTOS instances.

Unlike full-featured enterprise or desktop hypervisors, Jailhouse is rather minimalistic in features, configuration interfaces and also error reporting support. Therefore, the tutorial will walk through typical traps and pitfalls, explaining tricks how to avoid them or detect and resolve them in own setups.
