Advanced Topics

This chapter presents examples of vdevs implemented with QNX hypervisors, and introduces advanced topics.

The vdevs described in this chapter include vdevs that emulate hardware devices:

As well as the emulation vdevs listed above, this chapter describes the virtio-entropy vdev, a para-virtualized vdev (see Para-virtualized vdevs (virtio-entropy)).

Additional information

The watchdog vdevs provided with QNX hypervisors require the qvm/wdog.h public header file; this file includes functions, definitions and data structures used by this both watchdog vdevs describe in this chapter (see wdog.h chapter in the Virtual Device Developer's API Reference).

For more information about watchdogs in a QNX Hypervisor system, see Watchdogs in the User's Guide.
