I've been wondering, is there any reason not to use base-hw_x86_64_muen on regular hardware? It seems to work fine in Qemu, and almost all Genode drivers are in userspace. Is there some limitation that I'm not aware of?

I would not go along with telling that we "prefer" base-foc as most of
our scenarios run on all supported kernels. Prominent exceptions are
support for hardware virtualization (only on NOVA and hw/Muen) and
TrustZone (hw only). If you address ARM and x86 alike I'd suggest you
try out base-hw.

I got a bit acquainted with the release notes but I still find it difficult to comprehend what really base-hw means when we say "Genode base -hw" on Muen SK.

I am having some build issues (I do get an image.elf but build does not complete) and have yet not looked into earlier commits and branches so I would appreciate if you can let me know what actually runs over Muen SK in Genode base-hw kernel VM. Does it mean we run another kernel like nova between Muen and virtualbox.

I really like the idea but if we have another kernel below virtualbox than why not run virtualbox on Muen as a subject? I am unable to criticize clearly due to the mentioned confusion.

Thanks.

Shahbaz
