We have two different device families for x86_64 device types, https://github.com/balena-os/balena-intel and https://github.com/balena-os/balena-generic.
We want
balena-generic
to become the home for UEFI device types, both ARM and x86_64. This is currently the space or servers but we see UEFI as an emerging standard.The
balena-intel
repository will remain the home of closed hardware, embedded x86_64 device types, including the NUC. As of today, thegeneric_x86-64-ext" machine is an extended version of the NUC that is used for x86_64 servers and workstation. We want this device type to be replaced with the
generic-amd64`, while keeping the same cloud slug. Hence, these two devices need to be made equivalent.The text was updated successfully, but these errors were encountered:
