Recently Rosetta@home and 96Boards announced support for Linux ARM 64. Contributing processing cycles to Rosetta directly supports COVID-19 research. I confirmed this works on the Ultra96, it requires use of the Pynq Linux image and carving out some disk space. It should also work on any other Zynq7000 or MPSoC board. Here are some tutorial links and a screenshot. The client supports PS only, but it would be interesting to pursue PL acceleration…
