Worked on the flatcar/scripts repository to enable VFIO kernel modules support for ARM64, expanding virtualization capabilities to ARM-based systems. Focused on kernel development and system configuration, the work involved modifying kernel configuration files using Shell scripting to ensure VFIO modules could be built and loaded on ARM64 without affecting existing x86 VGA functionality. The approach maintained architecture-specific behavior, minimizing risk to established x86 workflows while broadening hardware compatibility for ARM servers and edge devices. No major bugs were addressed during this period, with efforts concentrated on delivering this targeted feature through a single, well-scoped commit to the codebase.
