The use of Operating System(OS) virtualization is increasing as it provides many useful features such as efficient use of hardware(HW), easy system migration, and isolation between virtual spaces which prevents errors effecting each other. Recent development in HW has made it possible to use OS virtualization in embedded systems. However, implementing OS virtualization means that a multiple number of schedulers are layered in a system, rendering it difficult to analyze the schedulability of the system and errors are easily produced. Errors in safety critical embedded systems can cause serious damage to life and property; thus, the hierarchical schedulability must be verified. In this paper, we propose a framework which supports formal modeling and verification of hierarchical scheduling systems with UPPAAL.
