+ <p>Arm64 is the name of the in-progress port of &os; to the
+ ARMv8 CPU when it is in AArch64 mode. Until recently, all ARM
+ CPU designs were 32-bit only. With the introduction of the
+ ARMv8 architecture, ARM has added a new 64-bit mode. This new
+ mode has been named AArch64.</p>
+
+ <p>Booting &os; on the ARM Foundation Model has made a lot of
+ progress since the last status report. An initial pmap
+ implementation has been written. With this &os; is able to
+ enter the Machine Independent boot code. The required autoconf
+ functions have been added allowing &os; to start scheduling
+ tasks. Finally the cpu_switch and copystr functions were
+ added. With these two &os; will boot to the mountroot
+ prompt.</p>
+
+ <p>Work has started on supporting exceptions, including
+ interrupts. This will start to allow more developers to start
+ working on device drivers.</p>
