Subject to Change for Fall 2015
These instructions may be updated for Fall 2015.
These instructions may be updated for Fall 2015.
For SPO600, remote access to Linux systems is provided. Howerver, it is strongly recommended that you have access to a personal x86_64 (64-bit AMD/Intel) system. I recommend running the latest release of Fedora (or, optionally, CentOS).
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 removable disk pack (note: this is not preferred, because you will not be able to use it during class in the ALC)
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):
- x86_64 (avoid installing a 32-bit version of the OS or using a 32-bit-only computer)
- Minimum 2GB RAM
- Minumum 50GB disk space
Initial software to install:
- Development tools and libraries (on Fedora:
yum groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"). - 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.
