## PC & CPU Requirements

Computers, mini PCs, and other developer boards come with either x86 or ARM64 chips. Click next to see hardware that has been tried and tested with Seirios.

{% hint style="warning" %}
Processing power is crucial to running Seirios RNS with your robot. With more sensors installed, more computing power will be required to be allocated - and less will be available for Seirios
{% endhint %}

The following are recommended PC/board specifications to take advantage of every feature available on Seirios RNS

* PC with *x86* processor (4 cores with 8 threads @ >3.1GhZ) OR *ARM64* (8 cores)  \[We recommend you to use min i7 gen 8th]
* 8GB DDR4 RAM
* 256GB SSD
* Ubuntu 20.04 & ROS Noetic (x86) OR Ubuntu 18.04 & ROS Melodic (ARM64)
* WiFi connectivity 802.11a/b/g/n/ac

*The following pages are specific PCs and developer boards that we have tested with Seirios RNS*

{% hint style="info" %}
x86-64 systems are widely used in most robotics systems and robots with compact-form PCs. It has high computing power and supports multiple hardware sensors connected to it.

Be sure that your robotic system has a large enough battery to accommodate its operations

### ARM / ARMv8-A

{% hint style="warning" %}
Seirios RNS is compatible with the following ARM-based systems and kits. ARM-based boards are power efficient but lack computing power (compared to x86-64 / AMD6 systems.&#x20;

Some computing-intensive features such as **3D LiDAR mapping and navigation** or **multisensor support (eg 3 different sensors)** will not be available on these boards.
