Purpose

Secure access to a physical aarch64 validation system for Odin v1. This is a release-validation prerequisite from Set distro, VM, and physical-hardware validation gates, outside the planning map's decision tickets.

Acceptance

Physically distinct from the x86_64 calibration reference; no emulated Arm VM substitutes.
Can boot or be reimaged for Void glibc, Void musl, Debian 13, and Fedora 44 with exact image, package, and kernel builds recorded.
Has at least 8 GiB RAM, a usable display, hardware GPU with qualified Vulkan compute and GL/GLES rendering in at least one OS cell, and enough safe filesystem space for Odin's bounded direct-I/O storage fixture.
Allows installed headed and headless browser/driver validation, SSH/minimal terminal checks, and collection of available thermal and health telemetry.
Records hardware model, GPU/driver, storage, OS boot plan, access owner, location, and any capability gaps. Score qualification still requires the separate six-run and calibration gates.

Borrowing, lab access, or an existing system is acceptable; purchase is not assumed. Do not claim cross-architecture numerical comparability until a full seven-domain physical aarch64 run passes the validation gates.
