+ <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>Since the last status report, &os; has started to execute
+ userland instructions. This includes implementing more of the
+ needed kernel functions to handle creation of processes.
+ Using clang to compile userland has found a few issues with
+ the version in the base system. These issues are expected to
+ be resolved when clang 3.5 is imported.</p>
+
+ <p>Initial support for device drivers has been added. This
+ includes the start of the <tt>bus_space</tt> functions and
+ interrupt handling. This allowed the existing timer and
+ interrupt controller drivers from armv6 to be used as these
+ devices are similar. The FDT data is now being passed from
+ the loader to the kernel using the standard mechanism.</p>
+
+ <p>The pmap implementation has been changed to be based on the
+ amd64 code. This fixes a number of issues with the old
+ implementation.</p>
