Running on an Ubuntu ARM VM

[ptorab-me]

I'm running an Ubuntu 22.04.3 LTS VM on a MacBook M1 (using Parallels); Script fails here, which I think is maybe due to architecture mismatch (x86). Is this the case? Am I even failing (error is confusing -- first it says "cannot execute binary file: Exec format error" and next line says "Success")? Is there any workaround? My Ubuntu info shows "Parallels International GmbH. Parallels ARM Virtual Machine" for hardware model.

+ exit 2

If there is no workaround, can I install using files in the official OpenWrt release folder https://downloads.openwrt.org/releases/22.03.5/targets/mediatek/mt7622/

Alternatively, if UBI is important, any chance to update the releases here to latest?

As the OpenWrt ImageBuilder comes with many precompiled binaries intended to run on an x86_64 host, you can try QEMU User Emulation to emulate the x86_64 CPU in userspace on your ARMv8 Apple silicon (which will be slow, but should work).
