RayNu-V Honest Distance Assessment

Distance to Mount Everest

Living tracker from today’s codebase to a shippable operator product loop — not a claim that the product is finished.

Four summits on the path

Core hypervisor work is advanced. The residual distance is product surface, real R640 iron, and ISO/datastore — not “can it virtualize.”

  1. Ship EFI 85% Buildable; release kit + signing thin
  2. Real R640 boot 25% Latitude/QEMU ≠ PowerEdge R640
  3. Network vSphere-like UI 12% Demo SPA; no TCP/HTTP stack yet
  4. Deploy Linux ISO 8% bzImage/initrd only; ISO path unbuilt

Production bar (M6.8 soak + M6.9 external): 100% on Latitude — RAYNU-V-M6-EXT-OK. Hypervisor core ~78%.

Bottom line

Close on producing and booting an EFI binary on UEFI iron. Far from a vSphere-like product that deploys arbitrary Linux ISOs. Numbered M6 is closed; M7 — Mount Everest is the open product loop (ADR-009). Next gate: EFI release kit.
