Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Following up on #903 and https://twitter.com/RaspberryMatic/status/1320876260218834952 - yeah, it's not a pull request, I know ;-)

There's an OVA file for x86_64, as #ESXionARM is a thing since a couple of weeks (see https://flings.vmware.com/esxi-arm-edition) I'd like to port my Charly based installation over to a virtualized RaspberryMatic on RPi4 and for example HMIP-RF-USB module. x86_64 code won't run on aarch64

Describe the solution you'd like
provide aarch64 OVA file in the downloads section.
USB Passthrough should enable communication with the HMIP-RF-USB module like on x86_64 OVA
In a perfect world there would be or USB/IP support to provide access to HMIP-RF-USB module on a remote device, so the VM would not have to be pinned to a specific host where the RF module is connected

Describe alternatives you've considered
Another option would be to have an aarch64 docker container to run RaspberryMatic

Thanks for this enhancement request. However, please note that support for the ESXionARM platform has low priority as this new vmWare platform is anyway still a technology preview and not officially supported by vmWare. In addition, we still do have our concerns and doubts that it make sense to use a hypervisor to only run RaspberryMatic on a RaspberryPi4. In addition, supporting ESXionARM would probably imply a lot of work to only support a hand-full of users interested in ESXionARM. However, I will keep this ticket open and active, also to see/monitor how many other users might pick up this idea and flag it as important.
