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:

This chapter also describes the virtio-entropy vdev, a para-virtualized device.

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 both watchdog vdevs described in this chapter (also see the 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.
