Hi chongsong, yes! As mentioned in the keynote, Houdini 22 will ship with a Linux ARM build. Just like our original Apple silicon port, it will be designated as a "Technology Preview" as we address feedback from our users and make sure that it's ready for prime-time.
We've tested Houdini on the following platforms so far:
- AWS Graviton
- Ampere Altra/Altra Max
- NVIDIA DGX Spark
The build targets the Neoverse-n1 instruction set. This corresponds to a minimum of AWS Graviton2 and Ampere Altra. Unfortunately this means that you most likely won't be able to run Houdini on low-end SBCs. You can see if your CPU supports all of the features of neoverse-n1

The only other caveat to this build is that there's currently no support for FBX as it isn't available for the platform yet.
This build features not only the command-line utilities, but the entire interactive interface as well, meaning that it's fully supported on Arm workstations from the likes of Nvidia, Ampere and System76.
