So yeah, they've given us hardware to be able to run CI, which is a huge step. This also includes statements like "Arm intends to further donate newer and more capable hardware to this initiative."
They've had employees doing testing and submitting patches and fixing bugs.
The focus is on aarch64-unknown-linux-gnu to start, but there's a lot of procedural kinks to work out. Future targets should go much more smoothly.
Totally, Rust code has been running on that chip specifically for at least a year. ARM just wanted to start support at the big end of the spectrum. I'm personally working in the M4/M7 range, which is a bit bigger than you...
With Apple moving to ARM it would make sense to focus there first since ARM probably have a decent shot at growing their high end market with Apple's help.
