Using Hardware Virtualization

The performance of the Tizen x86 Emulator on which the x86-compiled binaries are run can be enhanced by using KVM (Kernel-based Virtual Machine in Linux) or HAX (Hardware Accelerated eXecution in Windows® and Mac OS® X) with HW virtualization support.

Prerequisites

To use HW virtualization, you need:

Installing KVM or HAX

To install KVM or HAX:

No configuration is required for KVM or HAX.

Running the Emulator

To run the Emulator with HW virtualization support in the Emulator Manager, set the HW Virtualization field to Supported. The field is disabled if your system cannot support HW virtualization.

You can also run the Emulator with HW virtualization support from the command line, by including the -enable-kvm (in Linux) or -enable-hax (in Windows® and Mac OS® X) option in the start-up command.
