Howdy, I've enabled a new "efi" target for AArch64 image builds. This target takes the default kernel and builds an image with it for SBSA and SBBA compliant AArch64 systems. In a nutshell, it hopefully allows us to have a single image for all AArch64 platforms we care about. To try it out, fetch it from http://download.opensuse.org/ports/aarch64/factory/images/ (a patched kiwi is still building, expect the images to drop out in a few hours - I've verified that the image is built correctly locally) and unless you have real hardware, get yourself a copy of the Foundation model: http://www.arm.com/products/tools/models/fast-models/foundation-model.php and a recent build of uEFI for the Foundation model: http://releases.linaro.org/13.12/components/kernel/uefi-linaro/uefi-bootstra... http://snapshots.linaro.org/components/kernel/linaro-edk2/22/release/uefi_fo... Then you can just run a guest with $ Foundation_v8 \ --image=uefi-bootstrap-el3-foundation.axf \ --no-secure-memory \ --data=uefi_foundation.bin@0xa0000000 \ --block-device=openSUSE*efi*raw For some reason the firmware does not detect the default boot entry of the disk (to be debugged), so you have to manually point it to efi\boot\boota64.efi as boot binary in its menu. Then you should see grub showing up with a proper menu. You can select the entry it tries to start the kernel and then at least for me I get a good bunch of Synchronous Exception at 0x0000000080080210 but all of the groundwork is there for people to play with it now :).
