- walterbell 2y agoQualcomm is funding Linaro for upstream Linux support, while building desktop processors and aiming for 50% of the PC market in 5 years. A dev kit that is locked to a single vendor would not encourage adoption. With Apple's refusal to let customers run VMs on iPads, ex-Apple Nuvia/Oryon/Qualcomm has a window of opportunity to provide an open, standardized platform for Arm PCs. QC dev kit is one target device tree, but PC OEM devices will have hardware beyond the Oryon SoC, https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40431467 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40431467 We need to wait for shipping device to confirm if EL2 will be available to Linux, https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=my123 https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=my123 The system firmware will ship with 3 boot modes selectable via the setup interface: - Windows (this one has the Windows tcblauncher escalated to EL2 through Secure Launch) - Linux (this one stays at EL1) - Linux w/ KVM (which jumps to EL2 before kernel handover)
