## Minimum Hardware Specification

Whether buying new or repurposing old computers, the following are the minimum hardware specifications for a Home Station:

- Processor: 64-bit
- Memory: 1 GBytes
- Disk: 64 GBytes
- USB: 1 x USB 2.0
- WiFi: 802.11n
- Bluetooth: 4.2

Note only [x86-64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X86-64) and [ARM64](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AArch64) hardware are currently supported.

## Minimum Software Specification

Home Station are tried as a single [Disposable Nodes](https://disposablenode.com) under the Compute Asset paradigm, currently supported operating systems are:

- [Armbian](https://www.armbian.com/)
- [Raspberry Pi OS](https://www.raspberrypi.com/software/)

# Reference Designs

There are millions of [single board computers](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Single-board_computer) out there gathering dust - repurpose them into Home Stations!

For those who want to have a more turnkey experience, we have 2 reference designs available to give away or to be purchased:

1. Orange Pi Zero 3 running Armbian (HS24a)
2. Raspberry Pi 4B running Raspberry Pi OS (HS24b)

HS24a is a low-end Home Station for early [Citizen Startups](https://citizenstartup.com) that do NOT have much resources.
