Same as Chromium OS, openFyde adopts the Portage build and packaging system from Gentoo Linux. openFyde uses Portage with certain customisations to support building multiple targets (bootable OS system images) across different hardware architectures from a shared set of sources.
A board defines a target type, it can be either for a family of hardware devices or specifically for one type of device. For example, The board amd64-openfyde is a target type for an openFyde system image that aims to run on most recent PCs with amd64(x86_64) architecture; whilst the rpi4-openfyde board is a target type specifically for the infamous single-board computer Raspberry Pi 4B. We usually append -openfyde to the board name in openFyde to differentiate between its siblings for FydeOS.
Each board has a corresponding overlay that defines the configuration for it. This includes details like CPU architecture, kernel configuration, as well as additional packages and USE flags.
This repository is the overlay for the amd64-openfyde board, it's part of the openFyde open-source project.
This repository contains the following packages:

This board targets a generically bootable openFyde image on most Intel-powered x86_64 PC devices, specifically, the device should have:
- Intel CPUs released on or after the year 2011, specifically, Intel 2nd generation Core™ Processors "Sandy Bridge" and later
- Intel Atom, Celeron and Pentium processors released on or after the year 2013, specifically, Intel Atom SoC "Bay Trail" or later
- Integrated Intel HD graphics
amd64-openfyde is the foundation for FydeOS for PC release.
