System requirements
|
||||
===================
|
||||
|
||||
This concerns system requirements when *building* Canoeboot.
|
||||
You must ensure that you have the correct operating system, CPU, RAM, disk space
|
||||
and so on.
|
||||
|
||||
Operating system
|
||||
----------------
|
||||
|
||||
Any sensible Linux distribution will do. Canoeboot's build system is regularly
|
||||
testing on all the major distros. Please do report bugs if you encounter
|
||||
issues.
|
||||
|
||||
Host CPU
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
At least an Intel Core 2 Duo, though we recommend much faster CPUs if building
|
||||
entire release archives, e.g. quad-core Haswell CPU or better.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: x86 boards require an *x86_64* host CPU with appropriate host toolchains
|
||||
and libraries. We don't yet cross-compile x86 payloads.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE2: ARM64 mainboards *are* cross compiled, so you can build for AArch64
|
||||
machines quite easily, from x86 or ARM64 machines.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE3: *32-bit* x86 (i686) machines can be used to compile Canoeboot, but
|
||||
MemTest86\+ is only compiled for 64-bit, and not cross compiled, so builds
|
||||
are disabled when cbmk detects a 32-bit host CPU.
|
||||
|
||||
Memory
|
||||
------
|
||||
|
||||
At least 2GB per CPU core, ideally 4GB; for example, 16GB RAM is recommended
|
||||
if you're compiling an a quad-core CPU.
|
||||
|
||||
NOTE: `XBMK_THREADS` environmental variable defaults to 1 if unset. This sets
|
||||
the number of build threads, which you should match to the number of cores.
|
||||
For example, when you're building on a quad-core, do this prior to building:
|
||||
|
||||
export XBMK_THREADS=4
|
||||
|
||||
Disk space
|
||||
----------
|
||||
|
||||
About 20GB bare minimum, if only compiling for 1 board. The sources take up a
|
||||
lot of space. However, Canoeboot is always expanding as it's developed.
|
||||
|
||||
At least 50GB of free disk space is therefor recommended.
|
||||
|
||||
We *actually* recommend 100GB, because Canoeboot will also have a Linux distro
|
||||
in flash on a future release. On our testing, disk I/O does not seem to be a
|
||||
major bottleneck, so any HDD or SSD will do, but we obviously recommend a
|
||||
fast NVMe (PCI-E) SSD if you can.
|
||||
System requirements are documented in
|
||||
the [cbmk maintenance manual](../maintain/#system-requirements).
