The collaborative development on the &os; arm64 port + made significant progress over the last quarter. The &os; + Foundation is collaborating with ARM, Cavium, the Semihalf team, + and Andrew Turner to port &os; to the arm64 architecture, + also known as ARMv8 and AArch64.

+ +

After significant review and refinement, the initial set + of changes are being delivered into &os;-HEAD. This initial + support targets the QEMU and ARM Foundation Model emulators, and + boots to a usable multiuser environment.

+ +

Cavium's ThunderX platform is the initial hardware + reference target for the &os; arm64 port. The platform + currently boots to multiuser, with a root file system mounted + over NFS via a PCIe 10 Gbps Ethernet NIC. Reference hardware is + installed in the &os; test lab hosted by Sentex Communications + and in Semihalf's offices.

Merge kernel changes to HEAD.

+ + + +

Finish remaining userland and kernel support.

+ + + +

Produce installable images.
