Achronix Bitporter - Manual (Page 9)

Configuration Overview Minimum Hardware Requirements
Bitporter User Guide www.achronix.com PAGE 3
• For acx_stapl_player with Ethernet‐connected Bitporter pods:
 Red Hat Enterprise Linux Release 5 and 6, 32‐bit and 64‐bit
 CentOS 5 and 6, 32‐bit and 64‐bit
 Microsoft Windows XP Professional SP3 32‐bit
 Microsoft Windows 7 Pro SP1 64‐bit
Note: Other versions of Linux and Windows may work, but are unsupported.
Minimum Hardware Requirements
• Pentium‐class PC with a minimum of 512 MB of memory (2 GB for Windows 7)
• A USB 2.0 port and/or an Ethernet connection for the Bitporter pod
Note: USB 1.0 and 1.1 may be used, but USB 2.0 is strongly recommended for performance
reasons. In addition, a USB port connection is required to change the Ethernet configuration of a
Bitporter pod. (Bitporter pods are configured to use DHCP by default when connecting via
Ethernet — if this configuration is acceptable, no USB connection is needed). The Bitporter will
work if plugged into a USB 3.0 port, but will be limited to USB 2.0 speeds.
