The six RAM modules donated by $you_know_who_you_are (they did not request public gushing) for the Ampere system on loan from @winterschon with BIOS from @bexcran WORK!

Boom! A 64GB RAM/32 vCPU #ARM64 #bhyve VM booted in seconds!

Roman has made LibVirt progress on the system, as has @hayzam on #Sylve.

Go team!

You'd think that with how technically minded Gentoo Linux is, what with compiling everything from source after numerous fine-grained steps and optimizations, that there would be a comprehensive guide for getting it running on ARM devices in the year 2026.

You'd think that, but you'd be wrong.

Someone with u-boot and arm64 knowledge on #OpenBSD around?

When I have dts files, can I just put them next to the others and it will magically work or how does one approach this?

That VR headset runs on arm64, did Valve ported SteamOS/Proton to it? :ablobcatattention:

It was fun patching DTS, compiling FreeBSD from source and making it run on Nanopi R2S Plus. However, unfortunately, progress is not always smooth. There was a bug that affected one of my ports. This bug has not been resolved.

But it was fun! Thank you for the great experience.

My quest with Nanopi R2S Plus + FreeBSD 14.3 ARM64 almost done. Now, two ports are detected but not working as expected!

My aarch64 system emulator can now boot Linux to an alpine ramdisk userspace

My hard work has paid off! I successfully booted FreeBSD on the NanoPi R2S Plus. FreeBSD automatically detected and resized the root filesystem, and I can now access it through the debug console.

My next challenge is creating a flashable image, since my current setup only works when I manually intervene during the boot process. Second problem, LAN port not detected due incorrect clock.
