Xen arm64 (aarch64) support
commented

Is Xen on arm64 host a feature that is currently in development? I would like to use this pairing but I do not see a way to achieve it yet. If not, what would you suggest is the best way to get a unikernel working on a Raspberry Pi 4b? I am doing this as an introduction to unikernels and would like to use unikraft if possible.

Hi Alex, I'm not sure if anyone is working on this issue. Regarding raspberry pi support, there has been some work into this, there are several patches on patchwork, but for the 3 b+[1]. Sadly they are a kind of old.

Hi, @alexpclarke . There is no progress on the Xen on arm64 support. There is progress, however, on adding arm64 features in Unikraft (#206 , #208 , #231 ). @razvanvirtan , could you elaborate on this? What is the physical device (with arm64) that you are using for development?

@skuenzer , could you provide @alexpclarke with some updates on the R-Pi support?

Sure, I am currently using a Qualcomm Falkor for physical tests. As about the PRs, #208 provides networking support on arm64 unikraft (it also needs the changes in #206 to work with the staging version).
