| # Install Fuchsia on a device |
| |
| The Fuchsia platform can be installed on the following hardware devices: |
| |
| - [Chromebooks][install-fuchsia-on-chromebook] |
| - [Intel NUC (Next Unit of Computing) devices][install-fuchsia-on-nuc] |
| - [Khadas VIM3 board][install-fuchsia-on-vim3] |
| |
| ## Architecture support |
| |
| Fuchsia supports two ISAs (Instruction Set Architectures): |
| |
| * `arm64` - Fuchsia supports `arm64` (also called AArch64) with no restrictions on |
| supported microarchitectures. |
| |
| * `x86-64` - Fuchsia supports `x86-64` (also called IA32e or AMD64), but with some |
| restrictions on supported microarchitectures. |
| |
| ## CPU support |
| |
| Fuchsia's support for CPUs: |
| |
| * Intel - For Intel CPUs, only Broadwell and later are actively supported and will |
| have new features added for them. Additionally, we will accept patches to keep |
| Nehalem and later booting. |
| |
| * AMD - AMD CPUs are **not** actively supported (in particular, we have no active testing |
| on them), but we will accept patches to ensure correct booting on them. |
