Things mostly work. The remaining issues are: * The EC2 API "shutdown" / "reboot" message is sent via a pl061 GPIO device and we're dropping it on the floor; consequently "reboot" does nothing at all, while "shutdown" does nothing until EC2 times out and does a hard poweroff (without filesystems being unmounted etc). * Device hotplug doesn't work (ACPI issues?) so you need to manually rescan after attaching new disks. * FreeBSD doesn't boot on "bare metal" Graviton instances, due to missing some drivers. (NetBSD works though -- anyone want to port their code?) Oh, and a generic ARM issue: It's not a Tier 1 platform yet, so freebsd-update doesn't work and packages aren't always as up-to-date as on x86. But I think those are being worked on... -- Colin Percival Security Officer Emeritus, FreeBSD | The power to serve Founder, Tarsnap | www.tarsnap.com | Online backups for the truly paranoid _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-cloud To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[email protected]"
