About NetBSD/evbarm-aarch64

NetBSD/aarch64 is a port to Arm's 64-bit CPUs and other compatible machines.

Running 32-bit NetBSD/arm EABI binaries is supported on CPUs that are capable of 32-bit EL0 mode; see compat_netbsd32(8).

The port was first committed to the NetBSD source tree as NetBSD/aarch64 on April 1st, 2018. The first release with support for NetBSD/aarch64 was NetBSD 9.0 on February 14th, 2020.

The original work to do this port was done by Ryo Shimizu, Tohru Nishimura, Nick Hudson, Jared McNeill, and Matt Thomas.

The port is fully functional. It has been tested on single-CPU and multiprocessor configurations, including big.LITTLE asymmetric multiprocessing.
