Which hardware could buildd use?

  • It is agreed that best buildd hardware would be the one used on ARM server side land, but until this market evolves, there is need to fill in the gap with hardware available today. Some proposed hardware follow up on the next table:

Name

Processor

Ram

Internal storage

I/O

Ethernet

Price (w/o shipping)

Efika MX Smarttop

ARM Cortex-A8 800MHz (i.MX51)

512 MB

4/8 GB SSD

No

100 Mb

$129

Buildd used on debian-ports armhf

Compulab Trim-Slice

ARM Dual Cortex A9 1GHz (Tegra2)

1 GB

4/8/32 GB SSD

No

1 Gb

$319

no NEON

Panda Board

ARM Dual Cortex A9 1GHz (OMAP4)

1 GB

No

No

100 Mb

$174

Dual-cores definitely make a (huge) difference for long parallelised builds
Currently in short supply, expected to be fixed soon

i.MX53 Quickstart

ARM Cortex A8 1GHz (i.MX53)

1 GB

No

SATA

100 Mb

$149

On-board SATA is reasonably quick, and great when buildds land in swap-death, but the port isn't powered

ST-Ericsson Snowball

ARM Dual Cortex A9 1GHz (Nova A9500)

1 GB

4/8GB eMMC

No

100 Mb

$149

Samsung Origen
