This page provides an overview of Funtoo Linux sub-architectures (also called subarches) designed for quick and easy reference. Funtoo Linux provides optimized installation images for all sub-architectures listed below. Clicking on a particular subarch will bring you to a detail page where you can learn more about that subarch and download a stage3 for installation.

Amd64-excavator2015The amd64-excavator subarch supports the AMD excavator microarchitecture, produced from 2015. It is the successor to the AMD Steamroller microarchitecture and will be the last revision of the 'bulldozer' family of processors, and is succeeded by AMD Ryzen processors. These processors also include the Bristol Ridge/Carizzo and Stoney Ridge APUs such as the AMD Athlon FX 9830P that include excavator cores along with integrated graphics cores.-march=bdver4 -O2 -pipe

32-bit ARM Stages

   Important

The ARM architecture is used on a variety of specialty computing platforms, such as the Raspberry Pi. If you're new to Funtoo, it is suggested that you install an Intel or AMD stage3 on a PC-based laptop, desktop or server system first, and then "graduate" to ARM.

We recommend you use one of our board-optimized builds if possible:

ODROID-XU4This subarch is optimized specifically for the ODROID-O2 -pipe -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a15.cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard
Raspberry Pi (Version 1)This subarch is optimized specifically for the Raspberry Pi 1 Model B, Model A, Model B+, Model A+, Compute Module, Raspberry Pi Zero.-O2 -pipe -march=armv6j -mtune=arm1176jzf-s -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard
Raspberry Pi (Version 2)This subarch is optimized specifically for the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B (Broadcom BCM2836, released Feb 2015)-O2 -pipe -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a7 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard
Raspberry Pi (Version 3)This subarch is optimized specifically for the Raspberry Pi 2 Model B version 1.2 (Oct 2016), Raspberry Pi 3 Model B and Compute Module 3 (2017)-O2 -pipe -march=armv7-a -mtune=cortex-a53 -mfpu=neon-vfpv4 -mfloat-abi=hard

The following generic optimized builds are also available:

Armv6j hardfpThis subarch supports the ARM11 series processors, including compatible CPUs such as the Broadcom BCM2835 (Raspberry Pi).-O2 -pipe -march=armv6j -mfloat-abi=hard
Armv6j vfp hardfpThis subarch supports the ARM11 series processors, including compatible CPUs such as the Broadcom BCM2835 (Raspberry Pi).-O2 -pipe -march=armv6j -mfpu=vfp -mfloat-abi=hard
Armv7a vfpv3 hardfpThis subarch supports the ARMv7-O2 -pipe -march=armv7-a -mfpu=vfpv3 -mfloat-abi=hard

64-bit ARM Stages

   Important

The ARM64 architecture is used on a variety of specialty computing platforms, such as the ODROID C2. If you're new to Funtoo, it is suggested that you install an Intel or AMD stage3 on a PC-based laptop, desktop or server system first, and then "graduate" to ARM.

Arm64 genericThis subarch supports the generic ARM64 architecture (Armv8-O2 -pipe -march=armv8-a

How to Identify your CPU

There are a couple of ways to identify the type of CPU you have. One option is to use the lscpu command: 

root # lscpu

If the lscpu command is unavailable, you can get similar information via /proc: 

root # cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^model name" | uniq
model name	: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2640M CPU @ 2.80GHz

The cpuid command is another option and can provide other interesting information: 

root # emerge cpuid; cpuid | tail -n 1
   Note

Search is your friend. Take the chip name gathered, then google wiki chipname to find the wikipedia article for your chip. The right hand column of your processors wiki article will list the microarchitecture.

example: searching for "amd phenom wiki" returns this article & the article says its "Microarchitecture K10"
