From bsdcan.org/events/bsdcan_2020/schedule/session/34-cheribsd-on-morello-the-second-cheri
In September 2019 it was announced that Arm would be creating Morello, a prototype chip taking an ARMv8 processor and adding experimental CHERI features.
We have ported CheriBSD, our FreeBSD derived operating system, to the Morello architecture so it will be ready for when hardware is available.
This talk will introduce the new architecture and how it differs from current popular RISC architectures. It will also talk about the challenges of maintaining a new architecture when the architecture, toolchain, and operating system can all have large, sometimes incompatible, changes each week.
