Supported Devices

While Pantavisor can run on virtually any device that supports Linux, meta-pantavisor offers official support for a wide range of popular hardware through its machine configurations. This ensures a smooth and tested experience for developers.

CI Supported Machines

The following machines are configured in the CI pipeline (.github/machines.json) and have artifacts built automatically:

Machine Name	Description / Notes
sunxi-orange-pi-3lts	Orange Pi 3 LTS (Allwinner H6)
sunxi-orange-pi-r1	Orange Pi R1 (Allwinner H2+)
sunxi-bananapi-m2-berry	Banana Pi M2 Berry
imx8qxp-b0-mek	NXP i.MX 8QXP MEK
raspberrypi-armv8	Raspberry Pi (ARMv8 / 64-bit)
rpi	Raspberry Pi (ARMv7 / 32-bit)
colibri-imx6ull	Toradex Colibri iMX6ULL
radxa-rock5a	Radxa ROCK 5A
imx8mn-var-som	Variscite i.MX 8M Nano SOM
imx8mm-var-dart	Variscite DART-MX8M-MINI
docker-x86_64	AppEngine testing container (x86_64)

For an up-to-date programmatic list, always refer to .github/machines.json. If you add a new machine, remember to run .github/scripts/makeworkflows to regenerate the GitHub Actions workflows.

Don't See Your Board?

No problem! Pantavisor is designed for portability. If your device can run Linux and has a Board Support Package (BSP), it can be enabled to run Pantavisor. See the porting guides in Porting Pantavisor for how to add new machine support.

Downloading Images

The images built by CI are available at https://pantavisor.io/downloads/.

Building for a Device

To learn how to build an image for one of these supported devices, check out the following guides:

• Get Started: Walkthrough of your first build using kas.
• Pantavisor Development: Learn how to build using a workspace overlay for local development.

Installing the Image

Once you have built an image for your device, you need to flash it or install it on the target hardware. The installation process varies by board type:

• See Flashing Images for an overview of methods, or the How to Install Overview for general flashing instructions.
• Refer to board-specific guides such as SD Card installation, Toradex flashing, or NXP UUU depending on your target machine.
