  1. x86 support
  2. ===========
  3. Gluon can run on normal x86 systems, for example virtual machines
  4. and VPN boxes. By default, there is no WLAN support on x86 though.
  5. Targets
  6. ^^^^^^^
  7. The following targets for x86 images exist:
  8. `x86-generic`
  9. Generic x86 support with many different ethernet drivers; should run on
  10. most x86 systems.
  11. There are three images:
  12. * `generic` (compressed "raw" image, can written to a disk directly or booted with qemu)
  13. * `virtualbox` (VDI image)
  14. * `vmware` (VMDK image)
  15. These images only differ in the image file format, the content is the same. Therefore there is
  16. only a single `x86-generic` sysupgrade image instead of three.
  17. Please note that the `x86-generic` image doesn't include VirtIO support, so another virtual NIC
  18. like `pcnet32` must be chosen when using VirtualBox.
  19. `x86-kvm`
  20. The `x86-kvm` image uses VirtIO as its harddisk and network driver.
  21. `x86-xen_domu`
  22. The `x86-xen_domu` target contains the necessary drivers for use in Xen.
  23. `x86-64`
  24. 64bit version of `x86-generic`. Also has VirtIO support, so there's no need for an
  25. `x86-64-kvm` target.
