What are the minimum system requirements to use EVE?
We list some good guidelines below Yet there are a wide variety of IoT devices out there. The basic rule of thumb is: is it a compute device at least the size of RPi4, then yes it will work. If it is smaller a lot smaller, you might want to reach out to our slack to see if the community thinks that it would work. The EVE community is continuously working on EVE and we have shrunk its minimum size down.
In addition to tested Intel and ARM CPU-based platforms, the following are recommended minimum requirements for a hardware platform to work with EVE:

EVE is designed to work with devices that are deployed in physically insecure and connected environments. First, EVE-managed devices make use of Trusted Platform Modules (TPM) or Trusted Execution Environments (TEE) when available for managing private keys for strong device and application instance identities, and implementing measured boot. This also allows the EVE device API to work without needing to store login credentials. Next, following a zero trust, secure-by-default design approach, all EVE-managed devices have all physical and unused network ports disabled by default, disallowing SSH and keyboard access. Remember, our default assumption is that the devices that EVE will run on are not in a secure location.
EVE has multiple layers of network security built in. VPNs can be provisioned to cloud services. Applications are deployed with firewall rules. Firewall rules can be managed remotely, and violations are logged. EVE’s has its own highly secure overlay network for device management that is also available to hosted applications. EVE supports TLS 1.2 for secure network communications.
