This board supports x86-64 platforms with generic microarchitecture and virtualisation.

This configuration assumes Intel VT-x support. Currently, only 1 vCPU is supported per virtual machine
on x86-64.
This configuration assumes Intel VT-x support. AMD-V is (at this time) not supported by seL4,

Currently, only 1 vCPU is supported per virtual machine on x86-64.

The boot process is identical to [x86-64 generic](#x86_64_generic).
