The HiKey is a low-cost ARMv8 development board from the Linaro + 96boards initiative. It contains a HiSilicon Kirin 6220 with eight + ARMv8 cores and 1GB of ram.

+ +

&os; has been ported to run on the HiKey with a minimal set of + drivers. As of this report, &os; supports the micro-SD slot and + USB host, and will boot off the SD card to multi-user mode using + a recent arm64 snapshot.

+ +

The kernel is missing a number of device drivers, however, it is at + a usable state for people interested in testing &os; on ARMv8 + hardware. +

+ + + + ABT Systems Ltd + + + + ARM Ltd + + + + +

A driver for SDIO and the onboard WiFi.

+ + + +

Fix the MMC driver to access the eMMC.

+ + + +

Support the USB in OTG mode.

+ + + +

Support a display via HDMI.

+ + + +

Add thermal management.
