EuroBSDCon 2024

10(ish) years of FreeBSD/arm64
09-21, 11:45–12:30 (Europe/Dublin), Foyer B

Celebrate 10(ish) years of FreeBSD/arm64! I will talk about the history of FreeBSD on AArch64.

This will cover the history of FreeBSD on AArch64, how to learn the architecture before documentation was publicly available, getting support into the repo, architecture extension enablement, side projects along the way, and recent developments.

Andrew is a FreeBSD kernel hacker working on the Arm Architecture. He has been working on arm64 since the beginning, focusing on core architecture support.
