1. Major changes in release 8.1

This document describes the major changes of version 8.1.

2. Hypervisor Commands

the inithv.sh shell script for the first time RTOSVisor installation has moved from /hv/config to /hv/bin
all shell scripts located in /hv/config except the hardware partitioning scripts have been moved from /hv/config to /hv/bin
the initial configuration files are located in /hv/templates/config and copied to /hv/config at the first time initialization done by /hv/bin/inithv.sh

most RTOSVisor shell scripts are available via a hv_XXXX alias command and can be executed at any location. For example the /hv/bin/adjmemconfig.sh shell script is available at any location using the hv_adjmemconfig command
device assignment is done using the commands hv_addeth or hv_addpcidev
guests are started or stopped in the following way:
1. change the working folder to the guest (e.g. cd /hv/guests/examples/rt-linux)
2. call hv_guest_start to start the guest
3. call hv_guest_restart to restart the guest without reloading the Hypervisor configuration (only supported for RTOS guests)
4. call hv_guest_console to show the guest console
5. call hv_guest_stop to shutdown the guest

All guests are stored in /hv/guests.

The following example guest configurations are provided:

the Windows example guest configuration has been moved from /hv/VMs/vm1 to /hv/guests/examples/windows
a new Ubuntu example guest configuration is located in /hv/guests/examples/ubuntu
the RT-Linux example guest has been moved from /hv/lx to /hv/guests/examples/rt-linux
the VxWorks example guest has been moved from /hv/vx to /hv/guests/examples/vxworks
the RTOS-32 example guest has been moved from /hv/rtos-32 to /hv/guests/examples/rtos-32

The file server will expose the folder /hv/guests as the root folder for all guests.

Devices to be used by the RTOS have to be put into /hv/config/usr_hvpart.sh instead of /hv/hvpart.sh.
