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:

x86-64

Generic x86 64-bit support with many different ethernet drivers; should run on most x86 systems with 64-bit support.

There are three images:

  • generic (compressed β€œraw” image, can be written to a disk directly or booted with qemu)

  • virtualbox (VDI image)

  • vmware (VMDK image)

These images differ in the image file format, the content is the same. Therefore a single x86-64 sysupgrade image is provided, only.

x86-generic

32-bit version of x86-64 for hardware not supporting 64-bit images. Also comes with virtualbox and vmware factory installs.

x86-geode

x86 image for Geode CPUs.

x86-legacy

x86 image for very old PC hardware like i586.
