<body>
<p>This summer we've started porting bhyve onto ARMv7
platforms. We rewrote the low-level routines for ARM processors,
while trying to preserve the hypervisor API originally created for
the x86 architectures. We managed to bring up a &os; guest up to
the point of initializing interrupts. There is still work to be
done in order to virtualize the interrupts and the timer. As
short-term plan after finishing the interrupts and the timer is
porting to a real hardware platform (Cubie2).
