Hyperkit is a userspace virtual machine monitor and a development toolkit for building custom hypervisors. It provides primitives for embedding virtualization and hardware emulation capabilities directly into applications to execute guest operating systems within a userspace environment. The project features a guest operating system bootstrapping tool that loads kernels and initializes CPU states without relying on traditional firmware. It includes a hardware emulation library to create virtualized storage, serial ports, and networking components for guest system access. The system covers vi
Implements direct-to-guest kernel loading and CPU state initialization to bypass traditional firmware requirements.
