Seoul
Seoul is x86 Virtual Machine Monitor including device modules and instruction emulator. It is a standalone version of the Vancouver VMM that is included in NUL developed mainly by Bernhard Kauer (bk@vmmon.org) at the TU Dresden. Please direct questions regarding Seoul to Julian Stecklina <jsteckli@os.inf.tu-dresden.de>.
This repository contains a frontend for Seoul runnable on Linux,
FreeBSD and perhaps other UNIX-likes implemented in unix/. This
frontend is currently work-in-progress and not intended for anything
except further development.
The goal is to keep this UNIX frontend only a showcase for how to get Seoul running on your platform. All other parts of Seoul do not invoke platform-specific functions on their own and should be reusable on most platforms without change.
This repository also contains drivers developed for NUL in host.
