I’m incredibly excited about this post for a bunch of reasons.
First of all, it’s great to have a commitment to weekly, public updates. I had grown concerned the project had just gone dark. Furthermore, to have the announcement that they are moving forward under the expectation that aarch64 will be their target is very exciting. It means that archlinux arm will almost certainly be reasonable to use!
It’s also exciting to hear the i.MX8 is in the works to get ful Etnaviv support so we can have a decent GPU experience.
Probably still a couple years out at the least, but I’m very excited!

i.MX8 does indeed sound exciting! (AArch64, Vivante, DDR4, GbE, USB3, PCIe…) Looks like you can already preorder an RPi clone with it.
