System requirements
To install and use KasperskyOS Community Edition, and to run examples on a virtual machine in a QEMU emulator (provided in the SDK), the following is required:
- Operating system: Ubuntu GNU/Linux 22.04 (Jammy Jellyfish). A Docker container can be used.
- CPU: processor with an x86-64 architecture.
- RAM: it is recommended to have at least 4 GB of RAM for convenient use of the build tools.
- Disk space: at least 5 GB of free space in the
/optfolder (depending on the solution being developed).
To run examples on the Raspberry Pi hardware platform, the following is required:
- Raspberry Pi 4 Model B (Revision 1.4, 1.5) with 4 or 8 GB of RAM
- MicroSD card with at least 2 GB
- USB-UART converter
To run examples on the Radxa ROCK 3A hardware platform, the following is required:
- Radxa ROCK 3A (Arm64 architecture) Revision 1.3 with 8 GB of RAM
- MicroSD card with at least 2 GB
- USB-UART converter that supports a speed of 1,500,000 baud
