Hai Neil williams,
Thanks for the response,
i wanted to confirm whether lava supports every target board like jetson tk1 and amd64 boards also ? or is there any list specifically it?
LAVA gains support for specific boards when someone does the (often complex) work of automating the board and integrating it into LAVA. Some boards need expensive or unusual hardware to support automation, some need hardware modification.

To see the current level of support, you can look at some of the LAVA instances. The scheduler status page shows which device-types are in use.

You can also check the codebase for V2 support.

There have been people looking at the jetson tk1 but as yet the board has not been integrated into LAVA.
There is support for iPXE booting x86 servers, as long as those machines all have real serial ports.
if it not supports every target board, is there any specific reason or admin can modify the code?
LAVA cannot support every possible board ever built. There are specific requirements for automation and it may not be possible to automate every board, whether you are using LAVA or something else.
