Build Recommendations

Primary Targets for Development

x86_64: lenovo-x1-carbon-gen11-debug (most tested x86_64 platform)
AArch64: nvidia-jetson-orin-agx-debug-from-x86_64 (primary ARM64 platform)

Cross-Compilation

All AArch64 targets have corresponding -from-x86_64 variants for cross-compilation from x86_64 development machines.

Installer Images

Most x86_64 targets include installer variants (-installer suffix) for easy deployment to physical hardware.

Adding New Hardware Configuration

To add a new hardware configuration file:

Create a separate folder for the device in modules/hardware.
Create the new configuration file with hardware-dependent parameters like host information, input and output device parameters, and others.

You can use an already existing file as a reference, for example modules/hardware/lenovo-x1/definitions/x1-gen11.nix.
