Hardware Virtualization on H6, orange PI PC 3

[Devroots]

Is there Hardware virtualization support available for orange Pi PC3, which have H6 family processor ?

 

Can we port Xen hypervisor over it ?

[Icenowy]

H6 has hardware virtualization, and now with mainline kernel it's possible to run KVM on it.

 

For Xen, it's possible to port, but I don't know who wants to port ;-)

Is it enabled in Armbian kernel though? Last I checked it wasn't.

You mean PI3 right? PC3 isnt released yet.

@Devroots

What would you Virtualize? Android?
