Re: ARM64 virtualization?

Hmm, the Jetson Orin does appear to support virtualization and 
apparently people have had success with KVM under Linux.

I'm wondering how well-supported FreeBSD would be on it since it still 
uses FDT, and trying to boot Linux using ACPI instead didn't go well.

I have an Orin Development Kit here I could try. If FreeBSD boots on it, 
then I can start working on bhyve before my Ampere system gets here.
