Edge Microvisor Toolkit + Graphics SR-IOV is designed to support all Intel® Core platforms from 12th gen onwards.

This software is validated on below:

Core™
12th Gen Intel® Core™
13th Gen Intel® Core™

Recommended Hardware Configuration

Component	Edge Microvisor Toolkit + graphics SR-IOV
CPU	Intel® Core (12th gen and higher)

Build EMT

Reference to the build steps as mentioned here : EMT Image build

Pre-requisite

• Ubuntu 22.04
• Install the dependencies mentioned here

Image Build Steps

Step 1: Clone EMT repo

git clone https://github.com/open-edge-platform/edge-microvisor-toolkit.git
# checkout to the 3.0 tag
git checkout 3.0.20250411

Step 2: Edit the Chroot env in the go code toolkit/tools/internal/safechroot/safechroot.go

# add the following lines under "defaultChrootEnv" variable declaration, after the line 102
fmt.Sprintf("https_proxy=%s", os.Getenv("https_proxy")),
fmt.Sprintf("no_proxy=%s", os.Getenv("no_proxy")),

It should look something like this

Step 3: Build the toolkit

cd edge-microvisor-toolkit/toolkit
sudo -E  make toolchain REBUILD_TOOLS=y

Step 4: Build the image Build EMT image for graphics SR-IOV using the spec edge-image-mf-dev.json

sudo -E make image -j8 REBUILD_TOOLS=y REBUILD_PACKAGES=n CONFIG_FILE=imageconfigs/edge-image-mf-dev.json
# created image will be available under "edge-microvisor-toolkit/out/images/edge-image-mf-dev"

⚠️ Note: Please remove "intel" related proxy from "no_proxy" system env variable before step 3

Install EMT

To Flash EMT MF image on a NUC follow EMT image installation docs

To verify checkout Other methods

Generate Virtual Machine qcow2 with required drivers for SR-IOV

Follow the qcow2 creation for windows till post install launch from this readme.
