Hi Zhenyu, I think this is a great idea, both supporting more hardware, and enlarging the oVirt community. Regarding hardware support we depend mostly on libvirt and qemu, and I don't know that is the status. Adding relevant lists and people. I don't know about any effort on oVirt side, but last week I added arm builds for ovirt-imageio and it works: https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/nsoffer/ovirt-imageio-preview/build/1555705/ We have many dependendencies, but oVirt itself is mostly python and java, with tiny bits in C or using ctypes, so it should not be too hard. I think the first thing is getting some hardware for testing. Do you have such hardware, or have some contacts that can help to get hardware contribution for this? Nir
