What is the usecase? As of now CRC is for running openshift cluster locally on developer's laptop/desktop and arm64 on linux is not as common for laptop/desktop. We deliver bundles for mac-M1 which is arm64 based.

Not planned. If you want to run on an Ampere Altra, please consider using the openshift-installer for now. Images are possible to run on this target, though the main executable has not been built with this in mind at the moment.

There are some boards, like the Solidrun Honeycomb. Though availability is still an issue. Be aware, a RasPi just won't do it for OCP/OKD... only Microshift...

Had a similar request today during. A team is using crc to test their application/product on an openshift/microshift cluster, and they need their testing to cover both amd64 and arm64.

I'm also interested in crc on arm linux desktop, any updates on this topic or definitely abandoned?

There was some progress on this, see https://github.com/crc-org/crc/wiki/Using-crc-on-arm64-machine (the version numbers need to be adjusted)
