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) or ARM64 Linux system. I recommend running the latest release of Fedora to match the 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 (Fedora is recommended)
- Minimum 2GB RAM
- Minumum 32GB disk space
Initial software to install:
- Development tools and libraries (on Fedora:
dnf groupinstall "Development Tools" "Development Libraries"). - The qemu-aarch64 emulation tool (on Fedora:
dnf install qemu-user). - A GUI is optional and may not be required (especially if the system is being accessed remotely).
