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