View source for SPO600 Host Setup

[[Category:SPO600]]

For [[SPO600]], remote access to [[SPO600 Servers|Linux systems]] is provided. Howerver, it is strongly recommended that you have access to a personal x86_64 (64-bit AMD/Intel) or ARM64 Linux system. I recommend running the latest release of [http://get.fedoraproject.org Fedora] to match the [[SPO600 Servers|class ARM servers]], and because Fedora has a very up-to-date version of the gcc compiler which supports [[SVE2]].

'''This system could be set up:'''
* On your laptop
* As a virtual machine on your laptop
* On a computer at your home, ideally with [[SSH]] access (so you can connect to your home system from class)
* On a USB drive or external disk pack

You may want to installing virtual machine/emulation/simulation software on this machine, in which case a fast/large system is desirable.

'''Recommended system configuration (especially if using emulation):'''
* Install a 64-bit Linux operating system ([https://getfedora.org Fedora] is recommended)
* Minimum 2GB RAM
* Minumum 32GB disk space

'''Initial software to install:'''
* Development tools and libraries (on Fedora: <code>dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"</code>).
* The qemu-aarch64 emulation tool (on Fedora: <code>dnf install qemu-user</code>).
* A GUI is optional and may not be required (especially if the system is being accessed remotely).
<!-- * You may want to consider setting up [[AArch64 QEMU User Space Emulation]]. -->
