Description Stephano Cetola 2018-03-22 07:24:26 UTC 
In order for the QA team to test on these hardware platforms, LAVA requires an initramfs for network booting (NFS mounted rootfs). We currently have an initrd for x86, however no equivalent exists for these platforms.

It is generally agreed that this is already possible and just poorly documented (or not at all). I will continue to research this in my "free time".
