Hi,
I would like to install VirtualBox on my new Jetson TX1. It has arm64 architecture. I couldn't find any suitable downloads for this architecture. Can anyone guide me to install the same on Jetson TX1.

VirtualBox does not have a supporting version for ARM.

VirtualBox is not an emulator, it's a hypervisor. I.e. it supervises guest Intel code which runs natively on the host processor, with VirtualBox only intervening (via an exception) when that code tries to touch the hardware outside of the CPU.

From this it should be obvious that a hypervisor for x64/Amd64 guests can never run on an ARM host. The ARM is not an Intel code compatible processor.
