One eye on Windows, the other winking at penguins
Qualcomm may be leading the push for Windows on Arm systems, but the company also has an eye on Linux support with a roadmap for updates to enable the OS to boot on its Arm-based PC hardware.Asus is reported to be launching a laptop based on Snapdragon X Elite at an event next week.
Qualcomm says it already built Linux support into several generations of its SoCs with Windows on Snapdragon, and claims to post initial patchsets for upstream Linux kernel support within days of announcing new Snapdragon silicon, with the Snapdragon X Elite being no different.for a Debian installer, but warns that this only works with its reference device hardware. It uses Grub to boot into Debian, and to dual-boot Windows and Debian.
One issue Qualcomm is seeking to solve is booting with the UEFI-based BIOS using devicetrees. It says there is currently no standard way of selecting a devicetree to pass to the kernel, while OEMs commonly put multiple devicetree blobs into their firmware package to support devices with differing hardware.
The Snapdragon X Elite is based on a dozen of Qualcomm's custom Oryon Arm cores clocked at 3.8 GHz, plus an integrated Adreno GPU and Hexagon neural processing unit , eight memory channels for LPDDR5x DRAM and I/O including 5G modem, Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth. ®The sky’s the limit for 5G app developersXubuntu 24.04: A minimal install that does what it says on the tin
