In the new model, we have three sources of storage:
- /mnt/var: Mountpoint for a disk with the label "var"
- /mnt/cfg: Mountpoint for a disk with the label "cfg"
- /mnt/tmp: Mountpoint for a ramdisk
These sources are used for the following overlays:
- **/cfg, /home, /root**: /mnt/cfg if available, else /mnt/tmp
- **/etc**: /mnt/cfg if available and the boot/etc finit condition is
set, else /mnt/tmp
- **/var**: /mnt/var if available, else /mnt/tmp
- **/var/lib**: /mnt/var if available, else /mnt/cfg if available,
else /mnt/tmp

Infix is an embedded Linux Network Operating System (NOS) based on Buildroot, Finit, and ifupdown-ng.
See the GitHub Releases page for out pre-built images. The Latest Build has the bleeding edge images, if possible we recommend using a versioned release.
Login with user 'root', no password by default on plain builds. See the online
helpcommand for an introduction to the system.

- Marvell EspressoBIN
- Microchip SparX-5i PCB135 (eMMC)
See the aarch64 specific documentation for more information.
amd64
Primarily intended to be run under QEMU for development & test as well as evaluation, demo and training purposes, e.g. using GNS3.
QEMU
A virtualized instance can easily be launched from a Linux system, with
Qemu installed, by issuing make run.
Some settings, e.g. networking, can be configured via make menuconfig
under External options -> QEMU virtualization.
GNS3
Download the latest build of amd64, unpack in a dedicated directory
and use "Import Appliance" to install the .gns3a file into GNS3.
Infix will show up in the "Router" category, it has 10 interfaces
available by default for use as switch ports or routing.
