Since I didn’t write any news update for a while, lately some interesting developments were happening in few NetBSD areas which I would like to share. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Virtualization is one of these areas, it received few interesting updates recently. The first one is Intel HAXM hardware-accelerated support.<\/a> You can also read an independently written how-to here<\/a>. It works with Intel CPUs with VTx only. Another one is NetBSD Virtual Machine Monitor or NVVM<\/a>. Initially it supported AMD CPUs only, but recently it was updated<\/a> to support Intel CPUs too. You can read It is a good time to start testing them. Update:<\/strong> the developer recently added the detailed NVVM presentation article to the official NetBSD blog<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Another area was LLVM sanitizers<\/a> and improved LLVM support (reports can be found in NetBSD blog here<\/a>, here<\/a>, here<\/a> and here<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n One more hot topic is RISC-V architecture recently. Especially, once WD released their SweRW<\/a> core on GitHub<\/a>. The NetBSD project developers started work on RISC-V support as well: <\/p>\n\n\n\n * port-riscv is alive. (hunting for development boards for devs in a possible group buy)
