Serious question: How long does it take to get 64bit into ARM?

Serious question: How long does it take to get 64bit into ARM?

[Michelle Konzack]

Hello Arm Developers,

Applied Micro Circuits (AMCC) has now presented its new 64bit ARM ?C:

    <http://www.pcmag.com/article2/0,2817,2395449,00.asp>

and I like to know, how long it take, to  get  64bit  support  into  the
Kernel.

Currently I build servers based on Marvel ?C like the Kirkwood  88F6281,
Discovery MV78100/MV78200 and Armada 300.

Thanks, Greetings and nice Day/Evening
    Michelle Konzack

We are working on this already and will follow the Linux community
review process to get the ARMv8 support in the mainline kernel. I
can't mention a timeline at this point as it depends on detailed
documentation being available and at least some early hardware (FPGA)
to test on but hopefully we'll complete the process before you can get
platforms with ARMv8 (even if mainline would not fully support ARMv8,
I'll make patches available on some Git tree).

Thanks, this ais a great Information.

I am already in contact with APM and like to build a series of new  Low-
Energy Servers.  I have already requested the NDA to get the FPGA  based
versions and waiting for the validation.

It won't happen until there's some concrete technical documentation or
example implementation publically released, so at the moment it really
depends on the marketing schedule.

I hope, I can get a Development Kit and some CPUs as fast a possibel and
I hope, I get it very fast running.

The Marvel Discovery MV78100/MV78200  had  cost  me  around  1  year  to
complete.
