<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
