Yes, there is, we support anaconda just like on all the other arches.
It's not as widely used as people like to just consume the disk images
but it is supported and tested across a wide range of boards. We're
even working on adding CI to do this across a lot of boards on a
nightly basis.
Yea, but it is still apples and oranges IMO.
On a arm board you can swap the sdcard in seconds. Then run tests
(images / anaconda / whatever). Then put back in the original sdcard
and things continue to work just fine like they did before you ran the
tests. Try that with a macbook.
Also buying a separate device for testing purposes is much less of a
problem with arm boards as the costs for that are an order of magnitude
lower compared to a mac ...
