Open source hypervisor runs multiple OS in IoT designs

Designed for a small footprint, the  L4Re hypervisor, which is maintained by Kernkonzept, can run on the hardware virtualization technology in MIPS CPUs. The aim of this is to provide more efficient context switching and to make better use of CPU cycles.

According to Imagination, hardware virtualization, typically used in data-centre CPUs, can now be used for secure running of multiple operating systems in IoT designs in automotive and industrial system.

The L4Re operating system works with systems that need to consolidate multiple applications with differing security, safety, or real-time requirements.
