Debian 不会超出 Linux 内核与 GNU 工具集所支持的硬件范围之外。因此,任何被移植了 Linux 内核、libc、gcc 等,并拥有对应的 Debian 移植版的硬件体系或平台都可以运行 Debian。请参考移植页面 http://www.debian.org/ports/powerpc/ 以了解更多已被 Debian GNU/Linux 测试过的 64-bit PowerPC (little-endian) 体系。
本章仅包含一些通用的信息,以及在何处可以获得更多信息的指导,而不是试图列出支持 64-bit PowerPC (little-endian) 的所有不同硬件配置。
Debian GNU/Linux 9 supports ten major architectures and several variations of each architecture known as “flavors”.
体系 | Debian 命名 | 子体系 | Flavor |
---|---|---|---|
Intel x86-based | i386 | ||
AMD64 & Intel 64 | amd64 | ||
ARM | armel | Marvell Kirkwood and Orion | marvell |
Versatile | versatile | ||
带 FPU 的 ARM | armhf | multiplatform | armmp |
multiplatform for LPAE-capable systems | armmp-lpae | ||
64bit ARM | arm64 | ||
MIPS (big endian) | mips | MIPS Malta (32 bit) | 4kc-malta |
MIPS Malta (64 bit) | 5kc-malta | ||
Cavium Octeon | octeon | ||
MIPS (little endian) | mipsel | MIPS Malta (32 bit) | 4kc-malta |
MIPS Malta (64 bit) | 5kc-malta | ||
Cavium Octeon | octeon | ||
Loongson 3A | loongson-3 | ||
IBM/Motorola PowerPC | powerpc | ||
Power Systems | ppc64el | IBM POWER8 or newer machines | |
64bit IBM S/390 | s390x | 来自 VM-reader 和 DASD 的 IPL | generic |
本文档主要讲述的是 64-bit PowerPC (little-endian) 体系下的安装。如果您在寻找其他 Debian 所支持的体系的信息,请访问 Debian-Ports 网页。
此为第一个 64-bit PowerPC (little-endian) 体系的 Debian GNU/Linux 正式发布版。我们认为它已经达到了可发布的质量要求。但是,由于它没有像其他体系那样得到足够的曝光(经过用户测试),您可能会遇到一些 bug。请使用我们的 Bug 跟踪系统 来报告问题,并注明该 bug 是在 64-bit PowerPC (little-endian) 平台上使用 Linux 内核产生的。当然,您也可以用 debian-powerpc 邮件列表 来进行讨论。
Multiprocessor support — also called “symmetric multiprocessing” or SMP — is available for this architecture. Having multiple processors in a computer was originally only an issue for high-end server systems but has become common in recent years nearly everywhere with the introduction of so called “multi-core” processors. These contain two or more processor units, called “cores”, in one physical chip.
标准的 Debian 9 内核映像编译时已经加入 SMP 支持。它在非 SMP 系统上使用也没有问题。
Debian's support for graphical interfaces is determined by the underlying support found in X.Org's X11 system, and the kernel. Basic framebuffer graphics is provided by the kernel, whilst desktop environments use X11. Whether advanced graphics card features such as 3D-hardware acceleration or hardware-accelerated video are available, depends on the actual graphics hardware used in the system and in some cases on the installation of additional “firmware” images (see 第 2.2 节 “需要固件的设备”).
Details on supported graphics hardware and pointing devices can be found at http://xorg.freedesktop.org/. Debian 9 ships with X.Org version 7.7.
对于盲文点触设备的支持取决于 brltty
的支持。大多数设备可以在 brltty
下面工作,它们通过串口、USB 或蓝牙连接。支持盲文设备的详细情况可以查阅 brltty
website。Debian GNU/Linux 9 使用的 brltty
版本是 5.2 。
