The QNX Hypervisor 2.0 User's Guide describes how to use the QNX Hypervisor 2.0. It provides instructions for installing and running a hypervisor system, changing system components and configuration, and using hypervisor features such as virtual devices.
The QNX Hypervisor 2.0 includes reference images for select supported hardware platforms and hypervisor system configurations. These reference images can help you get a QNX Hypervisor system up and running quickly, so you can familiarize yourself with it before beginning your development. For instructions on how to obtain and install QNX Hypervisor 2.0 reference images, see the “Getting Started” chapter.
The following table may help you find information in this guide quickly:

This User's Guide includes documentation for some non-hypervisor QNX components that are of particular interest to users of the QNX Hypervisor but not yet described in the QNX Neutrino OS core components documentation. These include the kdserver and wdtkick utilities, and the IO/SMMU Manager (smmuman).
When these components are documented in the QNX Neutrino OS core components documentation, the QNX Hypervisor 2.0 documentation will be revised to refer to the QNX Neutrino OS documentation.
The QNX Hypervisor Public Forum hosts technical notes and FAQs about different QNX Hypervisor topics, as well as about building guests for a QNX Hypervisor system and running them.
To go to the QNX Hypervisor Public Forum, contact your QNX representative to activate your access to Foundry27, then log in with your myQNX account and go to: community.qnx.com/sf/sfmain/do/viewProject/projects.qnx_hypervisor_public_forum.
