I do not have a x86 machine runing linux when I’m on a business trip,but I still want to try to install linux on my hikey960;
I carry some single-borad computer(aarch64) with me,those computer can not run hikey_idt so I can not install linux to hikey960,I can Install Android system to hikey960 using those computer.
There is no source available for this tool so I’m afraid you cannot build it.
However, you might be able to run it using qemu user emulation. See QemuUserEmulation - Debian Wiki for full details but the following should give you basic idea.
Be warned… I’ve checked this far enough to check that hikey-idt runs (i.e. I run it with arguments and I can see the program emit an appropriate error message), I have not checked that is actually works.
sudo apt install qemu binfmt-support qemu-user-static
sudo dpkg --add-architecture amd64
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install libc6:amd64
wget http://http.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/h/hello/hello_2.10-1%2bb1_amd64.deb
dpkg -x hello_2.10-1+b1_amd64.deb /tmp/hello_amd64
/tmp/hello_amd64/usr/bin/hello
git clone https://github.com/96boards-hikey/tools-images-hikey960
cd tools-images-hikey960/
./hikey_idtI had to know if this trick really does work or not… and… success!

HDMI,USB,network is all worked normally,the following is my host machine’s print message in terminal:

After that,I following How can we deploy latest image with UEFI on hikey960? - #59 by juliansun and ’tools-images-hikey960/install-prebuilt-uefi/hikey960-efi-prebuilt.sh‘ installed linux and it works normally. Via ssh connection,I can use my my hikey960:

With this success of qemu simulation,I can do more work wich need x86 machine before,the x86 computer used as server and production machine became optional and I can throw down it;
