So in theory we already support x86. What inspired this ticket?

[kn0wmad]

In theory? This is prerequisite for a test device for potential next hardware

[ProofOfKeags]

My point is that we haven't tested on an actual x86 device, but theres no reason I can think of that it won't work. However, testing on new hardware carries more requirements than just making it run on a new architecture, it also requires that things like the sound API works similarly/the same on the new hardware or a relaxing of the requirement that that particular feature works. If this is for testing a device on x86_64 we are already at a place where it can be tested.

Perhaps we should turn this into 2 tickets: "test building embassy-os on x86", "make a build guide for x86"?

[kn0wmad]

This is purely needed internally at the moment, and when I spoke with @dr-bonez about it, he insinuated it was trivial to 'add support for.' I'm not sure what is entailed here, but the device is now specifically known

How about services? Will they include multi platform binaries or there will be a separate marketplace for x86_64 architecture?

We already have support in the marketplace protocol for architecture specification. Packages will need to provide s9pks for the architectures they want to support.

[chrisguida]

I'm guessing embassy-os will know which architecture to request based on where it's running
