Hardware Platforms
==================

DistroKit supports a range of hardware, supported by the ptxdist
platforms listed below. A platform can be built with one ``ptxdist
images`` and shares the same cross compiler and binary format.


v7a Platform
------------

The v7a platform is made for machines based on the ARMv7a architecture.
Select the platform with

::

	$ ptxdist platform configs/platform-v7a/platformconfig
	info: selected platformconfig:
	      'configs/platform-v7a/platformconfig'

To use the platform, the arm-v7a-linux-gnueabihf toolchain needs to be
installed; if installed from the debian packages or tarballs, ptxdist
is able to find and select the right toolchain with

::

	$ ptxdist toolchain
	found and using toolchain:
	'/opt/OSELAS.Toolchain-2016.06.1/arm-v7a-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-5.4.0-glibc-2.23-binutils-2.26-kernel-4.6-sanitized/bin'

Now everything is prepared to build the platform with

::

	$ ptxdist images

Hardware for the v7a Platform
-----------------------------

.. toctree::

   hardware_v7a_qemu
   hardware_v7a_beaglebone_white
   hardware_v7a_beaglebone_black
   hardware_v7a_riot
   hardware_v7a_raspi2
   hardware_v7a_raspi3
   hardware_v7a_udoo_neo


rpi Platform
------------

The rpi platform has support for the Raspberry Pi 1, which is based on
the Broadcom BCM2835 SoC (ARMv6). Select the platform with

::

	$ ptxdist platform configs/platform-rpi/platformconfig
	info: selected platformconfig:
	      'configs/platform-rpi/platformconfig'

You'll need the arm-1136jfs-linux-gnueabihf toolchain installed on your
system. If installed through the Pengutronix Debian or tarball
packages, ptxdist will pick it up automatically in this step.

::

	$ ptxdist toolchain
	found and using toolchain:
	'/opt/OSELAS.Toolchain-2014.12.2/arm-1136jfs-linux-gnueabihf/gcc-4.9.2-glibc-2.20-binutils-2.24-kernel-3.16-sanitized/bin/'

Now everything is prepared to build the platform with

::

	$ ptxdist images
