Whonix for arm64 / Raspberry Pi ( RPi ) - duplicate forum topic

I am thinking about working on arm64 support and testing the results on qemu-arm. What files do I need to change or look at when doing this? Is it as simple as adding the extra arch parameters in this file? https://github.com/Whonix/Whonix/blob/master/buildconfig.d/30_target_arch.conf You’ve added all architectures to the repo source lists so could it be simple as specifying one of them for debootsrap to download?

• Read about qemu-debootstrap inside that script.
• Using qemu-debootstrap might be required.
• grub boot loader won’t work on arm64 as far as I know. arm64 probably requires a different boot loader. Previous work on Whonix for arm64 / Raspberry Pi ( RPi ) - duplicate forum topic only helps to a degree. Because booting RPi seems different than booting arm64. (i.e. "normal arm64. Non-RPi arm64.)

Therefore an important prerequisite exercise would be to make grml-debootstrap create a bootable Debian arm64 VM image.
