The Rust Hypervisor Firmware is a project out of the Cloud Hypervisor umbrella for developing open-source, Rust-based firmware that can be launched from any environment able to load ELF binaries and run them via the PVH booting standard. Rust Hypervisor Firmware is capable of directly loading a kernel from a disk that follows the Boot Loader Specification and has minimal EFI compatibility. The RISC-V support is considered experimental and has been tested to run as a payload from OpenSBI under QEMU virtualization.
