Does AST support aarch64 (ARM 64bit) on Linux?
I don't know... but...
... erm... but the issue leads to two other questions:
1. Is there any test hardware yet ? If "no" ... is there any emulator
(QEMU ?) which can emulate ARM64 ?
2. Is there any *easy*-to-install Linux distribution for ARM64 ?
My guesses are no hardware yet, no support in qemu yet. Some emulator should
be available here: http://www.arm.com/fvp And last guess is there is no easy
to install Linux distribution for ARM64. Fedora just started to work on this
recently, but I don't know about other distributions.
How do the Fedora engineers develop for aarch64 then?
Right now we are fixing bugs preventing (cross-)compilation. So that's
the answer - cross-compilator. We do not run it (maybe some do, using
that emulator), but because a lot of package does not compile at all, we
have still enough work to do.
These are my guesses, I'll try to find out the real answers and post an
update if my guesses are wrong.
Thank you. Please keep the ast-developers list updated on your progress.
As for our goal, we try to test whether we can do large scale
deployment on aarch64 when the IT hardware of the our main experiment
is updated in three years. This requires both ksh93 and it's builtin
commands.
