Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Many thanks to Julien Grall who did the initial work in 2014-2015.  Now
we can have FreeBSD on Xen on ARM64 machines.  Want accelerated graphics
on a Raspberry PI?

????????????:
Support for operation in Xen/ARM64 VMs was introduced. FreeBSD
has worked in x86 Xen VMs for more than a decade, but now FreeBSD
works in Xen's ARM64 VMs. Effort was made to keep the patches
architecture-independent, so support for Xen/RISC-V should appear
once Xen/RISC-V becomes viable.

Tianocore/EDK2 for Xen/ARM is the presently known to work initial boot
stage. Build the ArmVirtXen.dsc configuration and configure XEN_EFI.fd
as the kernel to boot.

Presently DomU operation has been implemented. Dom0 operation could
be implemented in the future. A sponsor could aid this, or CheriBSD
may get there first.

New mididump(1) utility which dumps MIDI 1.0 events in real time.
