Processor and Architrcture

The Linux kernel and most other architecture-dependent components support a wide range of 32 and 64 bits architectures

  • x86 and x86-64, as found on PC platforms, but also embedded systems (multimedia, industrial)
  • ARM, with hundreds of different SoC (multimedia, industrial)
  • PowerPC (mainly real-time, industrial applications)
  • MIPS (mainly networking applications)
  • SuperH (mainly set top box and multimedia applications)
  • Blackfin (DSP architecture)
  • Microblaze (soft-core for Xilinx FPGA)
  • Coldfire, SCore, Tile, Xtensa, Cris, FRV, AVR32, M32R

Both MMU and no-MMU architectures are supported, even though no-MMU architectures have a few limitations.
