All, Recent bhyve for aarch64 (ARM64) is *really* impressive. System: ThunderX with gic0: <ARM Generic Interrupt Controller v3.0> OS VM-IMAGE camdd'd to a physical disk and the same image used for a VM: FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-zfs-20240516-d7adf3b47a05-270169.raw.xz Package: u-boot-bhyve-arm64 Syntax: #!/bin/sh [ -e /dev/vmm/arm64 ] && \ { /usr/sbin/bhyvectl --destroy --vm=arm64 ; sleep 1 ; } kldstat -q -m vmm || kldload vmm bhyve -m 4G -c 4 -D \ -s 0,hostbridge \ -s 2,virtio-blk,/root/FreeBSD-15.0-CURRENT-arm64-aarch64-zfs.raw \ -o bootrom=/usr/local/share/u-boot/u-boot-bhyve-arm64/u-boot.bin \ -o console=stdio \ arm64 Result: Works amazingly well, supporting up to 16 vCPUs, virtio-blk, and virtio-net. NVMe emulation is not yet implemented and there is more to test, but it's providing a useful environments for simultaneous buildworlds on the host and in the guest. Even bhyve(8) is updated! Thank you Andrew, Mark, and everyone else who has made this possible! Michael
