So I've managed to at least get a penguin up with the virtual PCIe PHB: https://github.com/agraf/qemu/commits/arm-phb However, there is currently no upstream support for the generic PCIe PHB in Linux on AArch64 - it only compiles on 32bit ARM. I've successfully forward-ported a patch from LKML to enable it, but this needs more testing to actually make sure it works correctly. For 32bit ARM we don't have installation images or EFI, so OpenQA will be harder to do. I'd say give me a few days to sort everything out. By then we might have something that's actually testable and has PCI on AArch64 and should make everyone happy. But for now I'm off for bank holiday :) Alex -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-arm+unsubscr...@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-arm+ow...@opensuse.org
