I tried to type CTLR -x 3 times and then 0, nothing happens... :-(
Just to confirm, once the system got stuck, I directly type Ctrl-x for
three times on the host's screen. Am I correct?

Maybe the serial console is not correctly set up?
The serial console configuration I used is as follows, could you have
a quick look to see if it's because I configure the serial
incorrectly?

I used screen program to attach to the serial port.
The command I used is $screen /dev/ttyUSB0 115200n8 on the host machine.

On the board, I set up the device tree's /chosen node as follows:
#
fdt print /chosen

chosen {

        xen,xen-bootargs = "console=dtuart dtuart=serial0
dom0_mem=512M loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all dom0_max_vcpus=1
dom0_vcpus_pin maxcpus=1";

        bootargs = "console=dtuart dtuart=serial0 dom0_mem=512M
loglvl=all guest_loglvl=all dom0_max_vcpus=1 dom0_vcpus_pin
maxcpus=1";

        module {

                bootargs = "console=hvc0 console=tty1 earlyprintk=xen
root=/dev/mmcblk0p1 rw rootwait";

                reg = <0x00000000 0x81000000 0x00000000 0x004f2b70>;

                compatible = "xen,linux-zimage", "xen,multiboot-module";

        };

};

Thank you very much for your time and help!
