<br>
I am trying to do so on a x86_64 Centos 7 host. Is there not a way to<br>
run Centos ARM on this architecture within a virtual machine? I<br>
skipped the relevant parts of the how to in order to get KVM working. <br>
For example, I skipped installing AAVMF and used qemu-system-arm<br>
instead.<br>
