Red Hat has been pushing hard for aarch64 to support industry standard BIOS/UEFI for booting the hardware, and for ACPI to control it, making it much easier for the OS to boot and run. The hardware vendors have been slow, but there is now some hardware that supports those standards, though I have no experience with any of it. So it should be as easy as your USB drive soon. For those interested Jon Masters (Red Hat - Chief ARM Architect) did a talk earlier this year on the effort to get the ARM vendors to support standards, including a brief demo at the end of a Qualcomm 24 core system running Red Hat Enterprise 7.2: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVK0LqxULZc _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
