Introduction

The ERIKA3 RTOS can be run as a guest OS of the Jailhouse hypervisor on the Nvidia Tegra Jetson TX1 board.
Such support has been developed in the context of the HERCULES European project. It has been also shown through a [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=skIcAkXfNWQ&t=3s YouTube video).

This section explains how to build and install Jailhouse on the TX1 target and how to create an ERIKA3 guest (AKA Jailhouse inmate).

Platform setup

Linux distribution

Use Nvidia Jetpack 3.1 to flash the Linux distribution by Nvidia onto the TX1 platform. JetPack is a tool that runs on an Ubuntu host machine and installs Linux on the TX1 platform. The host machine and the platform must be connected through the OTG USB cable.

Serial console

Once Linux has been installed, use an FTDI cable to physically connect the platform's serial console to your host platform. The following picture shows the pins that must be connected:

Figure 1: Serial cable connection.

More information about the serial connection is available here.

You can then install a serial terminal program on the host machine (e.g., Putty or minicom), set a 115200 baudrate and connect to the board.
