Available Platforms

Amiberry includes various platforms in the Makefile, for compiling it from source.

The syntax for compiling one of these platforms is: make PLATFORM=<XYZ> (note: PLATFORM should be in capital letters, as shown!)

Where <XYZ> is the platform name, based on what is supported. For example, make PLATFORM=rpi3 will compile a version suitable for RPI3 32-bit, using Dispmanx.

Tip: You can speed up the compilation process by using multiple CPU cores in parallel. To do that, you can include the option -j<X>, where <X> is the number of CPU cores you want to utilize when compiling. Don't use more than 2 if you only have 1GB of RAM (RPI3 or some RPI4 models), otherwise you can use as many as your CPU has (e.g. 4 on the RPI4).

For the Raspberry Pi platform specifically, we also offer a special Dispmanx version, but that requires the fkms driver to be used. However, please keep in mind that Dispmanx is disabled when using the newer kms driver (which is now the default from Bullseye onwards):

• SDL2 with DispmanX back-end for graphics - RPI platforms only. Needs the fkms driver enabled.
• SDL2 with whatever back-end it was configured with (e.g. KMS, OpenGL, X11, etc.) - all platforms.

On the latest versions of the KMS Driver, and latest versions of the SDL2 library, there is no more performance benefit in using the Dispmanx version. If you are running an Arch-based distro (like Manjaro Linux), then you should probably stick with the KMS driver and use the pure SDL2 versions of Amiberry anyway.
