     1  # ARM support
     2  
     3  The ARM support should be considered experimental. It will be extended step by step in the coming weeks.
     4  
     5  Building a Docker Development Image works in the same fashion as for Intel platform (x86-64).
     6  Currently we have initial support for 32bit ARMv7 devices.
     7  
     8  To work with the Docker Development Image you have to clone the Docker/Docker repo on a supported device.
     9  It needs to have a Docker Engine installed to build the Docker Development Image.
    10  
    11  From the root of the Docker/Docker repo one can use make to execute the following make targets:
    12  - make validate
    13  - make binary
    14  - make build
    15  - make deb
    16  - make bundles
    17  - make default
    18  - make shell
    19  - make test-unit
    20  - make test-integration-cli
    21  - make
    22  
    23  The Makefile does include logic to determine on which OS and architecture the Docker Development Image is built.
    24  Based on OS and architecture it chooses the correct Dockerfile.
    25  For the ARM 32bit architecture it uses `Dockerfile.armhf`.
    26  
    27  So for example in order to build a Docker binary one has to  
    28  1. clone the Docker/Docker repository on an ARM device `git clone git@github.com:docker/docker.git`  
    29  2. change into the checked out repository with `cd docker`  
    30  3. execute `make binary` to create a Docker Engine binary for ARM  
    31  
    32  ## Kernel modules
    33  A few libnetwork integration tests require that the kernel be
    34  configured with "dummy" network interface and has the module
    35  loaded. However, the dummy module may be not loaded automatically.
    36  
    37  To load the kernel module permanently, run these commands as `root`.
    38  
    39      modprobe dummy
    40      echo "dummy" >> /etc/modules
    41  
    42  On some systems you also have to sync your kernel modules.
    43  
    44      oc-sync-kernel-modules
    45      depmod
