KVM ARM virtualisation - vanja - 05-31-2020
Hi,

what I dont really undestand is in which phase of development is this? can it be downloaded and installed or this is just design phase..

It seems like kvm should work, assuming the right options are enabled in the kernel. I haven't tried or checked the current pinephone os options, and I can imagine it's the sort of thing that might not be enabled by default.

I don't think the A64 CPU has the necessary extension instructions to support KVM.
