Arm64 is the name of the in-progress port of &os; to the + ARMv8 CPU when it is in AArch64 mode. Until recently, all ARM + CPU designs were 32-bit only. With the introduction of the + ARMv8 architecture, ARM has added a new 64-bit mode. This new + mode has been named AArch64.

+ +

Booting &os; on the ARM Foundation Model has made a lot of + progress since the last status report. An initial pmap + implementation has been written. With this &os; is able to + enter the Machine Independent boot code. The required autoconf + functions have been added allowing &os; to start scheduling + tasks. Finally the cpu_switch and copystr functions were + added. With these two &os; will boot to the mountroot + prompt.

+ +

Work has started on supporting exceptions, including + interrupts. This will start to allow more developers to start + working on device drivers.
