Hello Yury,

This is Fantastic news. What I would suggest is to jump straight to the 
cutting edge of ARM limited Technology and work on the 64 bit Arm 
security issues, so you are 'ahead' of the big push in Arm64 deployment. [1]

www.linaro.org

Surely embedded-gentoo will deploy on Aarch64 [2]. If you master that, 
you are going to become an extremely valuable player in the embedded arm 
security space, imho. Perhaps you could even update the embedded gentoo 
handbook and add a section for aarch64 (arm64) and security on the 
gentoo-embedded arm releases. [3]  Perhaps you would be interested in 
the port  of lilblue to arm64 ? [4] Below are a few links you may find 
interesting. [5].


hth,
James
