I believe the Chromebook SNOW meets the criteria, not exactly a "board" but I have one on loan from Michael Dexter that was originally purhased to support ARMv8 bhyve work. Not sure that it has a version 3 GIC either. Actually I am thinking that you have to do the software GIC on this platform. I have booted various versions of FreeBSD on it, the most annoying problem is that the built in keyboard goes into continuous autorepeat as soon as you try to login, but a USB attached keyboard works fine. > Thank you, > Alexandru Elisei -- Rod Grimes rgri...@freebsd.org _______________________________________________ freebsd-virtualization@freebsd.org mailing list https://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-virtualization To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-virtualization-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
