Currently you can load EVE on an ARM board or an AMD board. For specific devices that the community has used and verified to be compatible, see the EVE in the Market or the next entry.
What is an "edge container"?
Edge containers are virtual machines with a manifest that describes the runtime environment including device resource and connectivity requirements.
The specification of this manifest will be better documented soon, but you can discern its requirements by studying the code of EVE’s configuration API.
What is the difference between Adam and Eden?
Adam is an OSS controller, reference implementation. It’s at github.com/lf-edge/adam, and it can run standalone or from inside a container.
Eden is a test harness. It starts up several different services, provides simplified ways of controlling adam, getting logs, running tests, etc. it’s at github.com/lf-edge/eden
RPi- Will EVE work with my Raspberry Pi?
Yes, the Raspberry Pi 4 works well with EVE, we even have a tutorial that shows you how to run Windows 10 on it. If you don't want Windows and want use your RPi in a more 'normal' sense, just do steps 0-3.
For RPi 3 and earlier lack a proper GIC so we can't take advantage of virtualization features.
What device hardware does EVE work with?

We allow for easy packaging of VMs (and Unikernels — since those are just tiny VMs) inside of Containers and that’s where your confusion may stem from. More on that here:

EVE has been used successfully with EdgeX Foundry and Fledge. We have worked with the Akraino community to create an IIoT (IIoT at the Smart Device Edge) Blueprint family. We have also started to do some work with EdgeX, Open Horizon (OH) and Secure Device Onboarding (SDO).
