x86 support

Gluon can run on normal x86 systems, for example virtual machines and VPN boxes. By default, there is no WLAN support on x86 though.

Targets

The following targets for x86 images exist:

x86-generic

Generic x86 support with many different ethernet drivers; should run on most x86 systems.

There are three images:

  • generic (compressed “raw” image, can written to a disk directly or booted with qemu)
  • virtualbox (VDI image)
  • vmware (VMDK image)

These images only differ in the image file format, the content is the same. Therefore there is only a single x86-generic sysupgrade image instead of three.

x86-geode
x86 image for Geode CPUs.
x86-64
64bit version of x86-generic.
