Devroots provide the most reliable way to build packages for foreign architectures, avoiding the complexity and fragility of pure cross- compilation environments.
* Apertis NFS rootfs
Apertis now provide kernel and rootfs pairs for NFS and uses them to boot the first stage of the LAVA tests, ensuring that hardware support matches between the two stages.
