I found some experimental images on the NCHC repository: https://free.nchc.org.tw/clonezilla-live/experimental/arm/

With the increased prevalence of Macs with Apple Silicon, Windows for ARM, Raspberry Pis, etc. it would be very useful to have Clonezilla that can run on these devices and the ARM64 / Aarch64 architecture. There were some previous threads and even testing releases but those downloads do not appear to be available. If it's possible to take a regular Debian Live image and (easily) convert it to Clonezilla through chroot and running some apt commands, how would that go?

Deploying a custom Linux operating system for an embedded device, such as a Raspberry Pi, generally involves three main phases: Create the root filesystem (rootfs): Set up a new Linux directory structure (e.g., /bin, /lib, /etc, ...) from scratch. Install the necessary system libraries, binaries, and configuration files required for the device to function. Generate a flashable image: After preparing the rootfs, bundle it into a single binary file (“image”) that can be written (flashed) onto the embedded...

(Cross-posted on Stack Exchange, where I'll post an answer if I get one.) I've built a Debian rootfs for an embedded Linux platform using debootstrap et al. My goal is to make this installable to my devices over the network. I previously built my own solution using iPXE but I'm evaluating switching to Clonezilla. However, I am not cloning an existing drive; I want to make the restorable image from my rootfs directory, and populate the necessary metadata fields about the partitions for Clonezilla...

I prototyped this and saved about 1000ns by computing the timestamp (with clock_gettime) in C before dispatching the event to Python.
