hi,

    I start to read the code now, and there are some tools scripts in directory of tools,

Do I have to read this files at start?

    Deep learning the code.

best regards

They are all helper tools, if they work for you there is no need to
read the code.
If you want to understand how jailhouse works in detail you should
rather start with some of the articles written on jailhouse and then
start looking into the hypervisor code.

The most important file in tools is config file generator.
It's up to you really, but I'd suggest to get acquainted with Jailhouse
internals first, just to understand what bits of information the
generator prodices are for.

hi,

I find the jailhosue-config-collect.tmpl is used by jailhouse-config-create, is it?
jailhouse-config-create modify the jailhouse-config-collect.tmpl to fit myself computer, and then I can use jailhouse-config-collect to collect my computer's necessary information, yes?

    So I can read the jailhouse first, and when concerning the jailhouse system info, and then go back to see this tools, is it OK?

# required files
  80 inputs['files'].add('/proc/iomem')
  81 inputs['files'].add('/proc/cpuinfo')
  82 inputs['files'].add('/proc/cmdline')
  83 inputs['files'].add('/proc/ioports')
  84 inputs['files'].add('/sys/bus/pci/devices/*/config')
  85 inputs['files'].add('/sys/bus/pci/devices/*/resource')
  86 inputs['files'].add('/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/uevent')
  87 inputs['files'].add('/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/APIC')
  88 inputs['files'].add('/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/MCFG')
  89 # optional files
  90 inputs['files_opt'].add('/sys/class/dmi/id/product_name')
  91 inputs['files_opt'].add('/sys/class/dmi/id/sys_vendor')
  92 inputs['files_opt'].add('/sys/devices/jailhouse/enabled')
  93 # platform specific files
  94 inputs['files_intel'].add('/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/DMAR')
  95 inputs['files_amd'].add('/sys/firmware/acpi/tables/IVRS')

Maybe only modify these list:
filelist="${filelist}"
filelist_opt="${filelist_opt}"
filelist_intel="${filelist_intel}"
filelist_amd="${filelist_amd}"

is these? Can I modify by my Manually? Or something other need else?
