Hi Joey,

happy it happens to work!

Be careful that specifying an exact cpu as you are doing here

-cpu cortex-a72

is going to be very dependent on the exact machine you are going to run on.
The meaning of -cpu is different than on x86.

Does -cpu host work too? Because if it doesn't that is something we really want
to fix.

Again, that is the supported and recommended option to use for ARM AArch64,
I shared the relevant links above.

Thanks,

C
