There is a lot of interest in having an ARM64 port. It seems like
all none of the active developers have time to work on this though.
I
believe the DragonFly project would embrace an individual that makes
a
serious attempt at a port, and he/she would be supported during the
process. Any volunteers?
I'll gladly help out/mentor the project, but currently this is a no go,
as the tools are simply not (publicly) available yet. The toolchain is,
but no emulator/simulator is. Linaro is working on ARMv8/AArch64 support
for qemu in collaboration with ARM and Canonical, but that will still
take a while. In addition to that the ARMv8 ARM (architecture reference
manual) is not publicly available yet, either.
In any case that's a fair bit off topic, just thought I'd throw in some
facts.
Cheers,
Alex
