We have had an issue with a user trying to use this on a linux ARM machine

[JasoonS]

Unfortunately this is a second hand issue as I don't have a way to easily test it on Linux Arm my self. It is from a user using the envio tool that we have built.

I assume that it just isn't handled in the build pipeline - is see ubuntu-linux is used but this uses AMD by default.

Here is the users error:

Hi, thank you for reporting.
I think the way to solve your problem might be to add a binary to your project that has PPX built for the platforms you mentioned. Let me tap on it.
