📄 Description

Summary

Adds willamhou/hypervisor to the Firmware projects section.

What it is: A bare-metal ARM64 Type-1 hypervisor written in no_std Rust with a single runtime dependency (fdt crate). Runs at EL2 on QEMU virt machine, boots Linux 6.12.12 to BusyBox shell with 4 vCPUs, virtio-blk storage, and virtio-net networking.

Key features:

no_std, no heap allocator crate — custom bump allocator, zero external runtime dependencies beyond fdt
ARM64 EL2 bare-metal: Stage-2 page tables, GICv3 trap-and-emulate, PSCI, preemptive scheduling
FF-A v1.1 Secure Partition Manager Core (SPMC) at S-EL2 with TF-A boot chain
Multi-VM support with VMID-tagged TLBs, L2 virtual switch
457 test assertions across 34 test suites, CI via GitHub Actions
GitHub Codespaces support for one-click demo (make run boots and runs all tests)

Why it fits: There are currently no ARM64 hypervisors listed in awesome-embedded-rust. This project demonstrates no_std Rust for systems programming at the highest privilege level (EL2/S-EL2), complementing the existing firmware projects which target microcontrollers.
