[oe] initramfs only supported in x86?

[Adam Lee]

Hello everyone, I thought I'd compare the performance of booting
rootfs from MMC vs ramdisk (the way Android is doing it). Some says it
may possibly take longer in ramdisk because the rootfs has to be first
loaded into memory. I'd like to test it out myself.

So I discovered core-image-minimal-initramfs, and thought it was
exactly what I needed. However the build doesn't go far, because its
dependency initramfs-live-install [1] only seems to support x86:

COMPATIBLE_HOST = "(i.86|x86_64).*-linux"

Is this the limitation of current OE? or am I just looking at the wrong corner?

Thanks,

Adam
