What is Zephyr?

This system encompasses a wide array of devices, from fundamental embedded environmental sensors and LED wearables to sophisticated embedded controllers, smartwatches, and IoT wireless applications, featuring a configurable architecture that includes stack-overflow protection, permission tracking for kernel objects and device drivers, and enhanced thread isolation through thread-level memory protection across various architectures such as x86, ARC, and ARM, along with distinct userspace and memory domains. Additionally, for systems that do not have a Memory Management Unit (MMU) or Memory Protection Unit (MPU) and those constrained by limited memory, it facilitates the combination of application-specific code with a customized kernel to create a monolithic image that can be seamlessly loaded and executed on the hardware. Within this framework, both the application and kernel code function within a single address space, promoting efficient resource management and performance enhancements. Consequently, this architecture is adept at enabling even the most resource-limited environments to effectively utilize advanced applications and sophisticated functionalities, thereby broadening the scope of what can be achieved in embedded systems.

What is Apple Hypervisor?

Create virtualization solutions using a lightweight hypervisor that functions without relying on external kernel extensions. This hypervisor provides C APIs, allowing direct interaction with virtualization technologies in user space, thus removing the necessity for kernel extensions (KEXTs). As a result, applications developed with this framework can be easily distributed through the Mac App Store. Utilize this framework to create and oversee hardware-assisted virtual machines and virtual processors (VMs and vCPUs) within your authorized and sandboxed user-space application. The Hypervisor treats virtual machines as processes and virtual processors as threads, which streamlines the development experience. It is crucial to understand that the Hypervisor framework requires specific hardware capabilities to effectively virtualize resources. For devices running on Apple silicon, this involves the essential Virtualization Extensions, while Intel-based Macs must have systems that feature Intel VT-x technologies, including Extended Page Tables (EPT) and Unrestricted Mode. This framework, therefore, lays down a solid groundwork for crafting sophisticated virtualization solutions that are well-suited for contemporary computing environments, ensuring both performance and reliability. Furthermore, the emphasis on user-space applications enhances security by isolating the virtualization processes from the core operating system.
