There is some on-going work to upstream support for ODroid XU. You can give a look here: http://lists.xen.org/archives/html/xen-devel/2014-07/msg03363.html > Please can you share some other board models that are cheap and > supported by XEN ARM.

IIRC, the price is less 100$. Regards, -- Julien Grall
