Some weeks ago, there was a post here about porting Chez to ARM64 and thus enabling Racket CS to work on those platforms. I haven't heard anything about it after that, doesn anyone here have any news? I use an ARM64 machine as my daily driver (with Windows 10) and am very curious about progress.

Hi Andre,

Work on this is ongoing - joint work with Jesse Alama. We have two ports being implemented in parallel: RISCV64 and AArch64. The RV64 is certainly more complete and I can almost bootstrap.
I am slowly finishing other items of work that was doing in parallel to focus solely on this so I hope that we have a must quicker progress in the second half of the year.

I will post updates once I have more.

Thanks Paulo,

If you need someone to test stuff on real aarch64 hardware just ping me. I have both Windows 10 and Ubuntu here (under WSL2)

Hi Andre,

I have put a reminder on my notes that you can help tests AArch64 on
Windows10.

That's really useful.

Thank you for the kind offer,

Paulo Matos
