2. Roadmap Guide 🎯

This lecture, <Arm Architecture: Virtualization [Author-led Part 3-2]>, is included in the roadmap 'Arm for System Software Developers - advanced course'.


For those who wish to learn the Arm architecture (Armv8-A, Armv7-A) systematically, it is recommended to take advantage of the roadmap (30% discount on all lectures). For your reference, the Arm Architecture Roadmap (full series taught by the author) consists of two parts: the Basic Course and the Advanced Course.


In modern system software,
the most important Arm architecture

Arm processors used in smartphones, AI SoC system semiconductors, electric vehicle automotive (autonomous driving, infotainment), cloud servers, and MacBooks are all Armv8-A based 64-bit Cortex-A processors (Cortex-A53, Cortex-A57, Cortex-A72, etc.). It can be said that the Armv8-A architecture is the area where the most fundamental knowledge is currently required in the system software industry.

If you are an electric vehicle system SW developer,
Virtualization is a must-know! 🙋‍♂

Recently, hypervisors are being widely utilized in cloud servers and electric vehicles, and these hypervisors are implemented based on the virtualization features of the Arm architecture. In particular, the essential technologies that one must know to become an electric vehicle system software developer are Arm architecture virtualization and hypervisors.


A lecture directly from the author, featuring the know-how of a system engineer with 12 years of experience!

In my book, 'The Structure and Principles of Arm Architecture for System Software Development' (Chapter 15), I cover 'Virtualization' in great detail. I hope you learn the concepts, structure, and practical application methods of virtualization through this author-led lecture.

Recommended for the following people

✅ System software developers who want to understand the operating principles of virtualization in the Arm architecture

✅ Developers who want to know how to utilize the key features of virtualization in actual projects

✅ System software developers who develop hypervisors using Arm's virtualization features

After taking this course, you will be able to:

  • You can understand the core concepts of virtualization.

  • You can understand how hypervisors are implemented by utilizing virtualization features.

  • You can understand the operation of assembly instructions and traps related to virtualization.

  • You can understand the processing flow of virtual interrupts supported by the GIC along with Virtualization.

  • You can understand the basic structure of the XEN hypervisor.

  • You will be able to confidently explain virtualization and hypervisors in interviews.

What you will learn

Explains the components of virtualization while reviewing the Arm specification documents in detail.

Explains the structure of a hypervisor implemented by utilizing virtualization features.

It explains in detail the execution flow of traps in a virtualization system and the related exception vector tables.

Introduces virtual interrupts and explains the execution flow in detail, step by step.

Notes before taking the course

Prerequisite Knowledge and Precautions

  • I have designed this course so that you can fully understand virtualization just by following the lectures diligently.

  • Before learning Arm Virtualization, it is recommended to familiarize yourself with the basic concepts of the Arm architecture (operating modes, exception levels).

  • To understand the execution flow of a virtualization system, it is helpful to be familiar with the concepts of traps (exceptions) and interrupts.

Recommended for
these people

Who is this course right for?

  • A system software developer who wants to understand the principles of virtualization and hypervisor operation in the Arm architecture.

  • A system developer who develops hypervisors utilizing Arm's virtualization features.

  • Developers who want to know how the key features of virtualization are utilized within a hypervisor.

  • A junior developer who wants to build expertise in the system software field, including system semiconductors (fabless) and the electric vehicle sector (autonomous driving, infotainment).

  • A job seeker who wants to develop system software in the fields of system semiconductors (fabless) and electric vehicles.
