Re: ARM64 virtualization?

Sure. I've been (and I'm) one the most active users of the Jetson nano in
the last years. I've enabled kvm again recently on my Jetson nano. I don't
live without virtualization. I play every day with qemu,kvm,bhyve and every
tool that can be used to virtualize an os. If kvm can be enabled on the
jetson nano,why should it not work on the jetson orin ? I'm also very
interested to install FreeBSD on the nano and on the orin. Unfortunately I
haven't found someone who wants to help me. I can't handle this project
alone. I'm not experienced enough.
