Supported Hardware
##################
We welcome community contributions to help build Project ACRN support
for a broad collection of architectures and platforms.
Minimum System Requirements for Installing ACRN
***********************************************
+------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Hardware | Minimum Requirements | Recommended |
+========================+===================================+=================================================================================+
| Processor | Compatible x86 64-bit processor | 2 core with Intel Hyper-threading Technology enabled in the BIOS or more cores |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| System memory | 4GB RAM | 8GB or more (< 32G) |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Storage capabilities | 20GB | 120GB or more |
+------------------------+-----------------------------------+---------------------------------------------------------------------------------+
Minimum Requirements for Processor
**********************************
1 GB Large pages
Known Limitations
*****************
Platforms with multiple PCI segments are not supported.
ACRN assumes the following conditions are satisfied from the Platform BIOS:
* All the PCI device BARs must be assigned resources, including SR-IOV VF BARs if a device supports it.
* Bridge windows for PCI bridge devices and the resources for root bus must be programmed with values
that enclose resources used by all the downstream devices.
* There should be no conflict in resources among the PCI devices or with other platform devices.
.. _hardware_tested:
Tested Platforms by ACRN Release
********************************
These platforms have been tested by the development team with the noted ACRN
release version and may not work as expected on later ACRN releases.

Supported Hardware
##################
The ACRN project development team is continually adding support for new hardware
products, as documented below. As we add new hardware, we also lower our support
level for older hardware products. We welcome community contributions to help
build ACRN support for a broad collection of architectures and platforms.
.. _hardware_tested:
Selecting Hardware
******************
When you are selecting hardware to use with ACRN, consider the
following:
* When the development team is working on a new ACRN version, we focus our
development and testing on one product. The product is typically a board
or kit from the latest processor family.
* We also provide a level of maintenance for some older products.
* For all products, we welcome and encourage the community to contribute support
by submitting patches for code, documentation, tests, and more.
The following table shows supported processor families, along with the
products that the development team has tested. The products are categorized
into three support levels: Release, Maintenance, and Community. Each
level includes the activities described in the lower levels.

* **Release**: New ACRN features are complete and tested for the listed product.
This product is recommended for this ACRN version. Support for older products
will transition to the maintenance category as development continues for newer
products.
* **Maintenance**: For new ACRN versions with maintenance-level support, we
verify our :ref:`gsg` instructions to ensure the baseline development workflow
works and the hypervisor will boot on the listed products. While we don't
verify that all new features will work on this product, we will do best-effort
support on reported issues. Maintenance support for a hardware product
is typically done for two subsequent ACRN releases (about six months).
* **Community**: Community responds with best-effort support for that
ACRN version to reported bugs for the listed product.
Urgent bug and security fixes are targeted to the latest release only.
Developers should either update to the most current release or back-port these
fixes to their own production release.
When you start to explore ACRN, we recommend you select
the latest product from the table above. You can also choose
other products and give them a try. In either case, use the
:ref:`board_inspector_tool` to generate a board configuration file
you will use to configure the ACRN hypervisor, as described in the
:ref:`gsg`. We encourage your feedback on the
acrn-user@lists.projectacrn.org mailing list on your findings about
unlisted products.
