Greetings,
The 32 bit ARM VMs work for v6 & v7.
The 64 bit VM is for v8/AArch64 on Linux. This is only the interpreter VM (no COG JIT), so is pretty slow currently. Also the UFFI is not yet working on 64 bit. I am working on this but am a bit slow at it.
I would suggest the 32 bit VM for now as the UI is faster.
I don't know if the 64 bit ARM VM is built by default. I can help with advice if you run into problems building from sources.

Should work for pretty much any ARM device of the last 10-12 years. Really old ones (pre-v5) might have problems.

Trying to work on this but progress is not exactly rapid. First part is to write the cpu simulator plugin and that means working up the bravery to look into the maelstrom of GDB code. Too many other 'urgent' things get in the way.

Thanks Tim for the update!
