Talk:Raspberry Pi 3 64 bit Install

dev-vcs/git segfaults on commit with specified CFLAGS
See https://bugs.gentoo.org/662260. Replacing "-march=armv8-a+crc -mtune=cortex-a53" with "-march=native" (or removing it) produced a working git. Otherwise, most any operation beyond cloning a repo would cause a segfault.

binutils
Hint: binutils-2.30 fails with https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22764, binutils-2.29.1 works

Hmm. It seems to work for me. Its in my armv8a binhost at http://bloodnoc.org/~roy/BINHOSTS/gcc-7.x/armv8a/sys-devel/

Feel free to try it. An ebuild may not get a version bump if its changed from not working to working on a single arch. That would cause useless rebuilds for everyone already using it succesfully.

The comment 15 on that bug cvs-commit@gcc.gnu.org 2018-02-05 18:34:02 UTC, says it was fixed. Update your portage repository and try again.

Add Simple FB
[*] Simple framebuffer support

This gets console messages until the VC4 starts.

Conversely, it appears to hang if the VC4 fails to start.

Host Virtualisation Support
libvirtd supports KVM on arm64 now. On the Pi, its probably only a toy but theres a challenge.

On the host, prepare to support arm64 guests.

Guest Paravirtualisation Support
Turn on Paravirtualisation and all the virtio drivers

(exactly what is TBD)
