It runs on some Broadwell and Skylake hardware. Docs are coming for http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/content/series/switchalpha12 http://www.acer.com/ac/en/US/cont

  https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/magenta/+/master/docs/targets/acer12.md https://fuchsia.googlesource.com/magenta/+/master/docs/targe... Has some notes on setting up the Acer UEFI BIOS to boot the system and creating USB flash boot media. Hoping to get some more general "HOWTO Run On Hardware" docs up in the near future, including netbooting w/ NUC and other useful things.

  actually I don't have had a Broadwell / Skylake which I can play with. I have a MacBook Pro 2013 Late (Haswell). But I wouldn't try out something on my production laptop anyway ;) I also have a two Xeon Sandy Bridges lying around, but I didn't tried em, but I guess even with some changes it would run on it. I just didn't had time, after it compiled it already was 2 o Clock at night.

    It will likely boot on earlier Intel platforms, though some tinkering may be necessary. The focus has been on Qemu and on some modern UEFI based systems (and the latter booting with gigaboot20x6, also part of the Fuchsia repos). Debugging early boot / bringup issues is massively easier if the machine has a standard serial port.

  What about AMD hardware? Will you support all x86_64?
  • swetland 10y ago
    There's no intention not to. Might need a little work to play nice with AMD, but probably not a lot.
