Architectures
This page documents CPU architectures supported by spksrc and Synology devices.
Overview
Synology NAS devices use various CPU architectures. spksrc cross-compiles packages for each supported architecture.
Architecture Naming
Architectures are identified as <arch>-<tcversion> where:
<arch> - CPU architecture identifier<tcversion> - DSM toolchain version (e.g., 7.2, 6.2)
Example: x64-7.2 = Intel 64-bit, DSM 7.2 toolchain

Architecture Groups
spksrc defines groups for conditional logic:
64-bit Architectures
64bit_ARCHS = x64 aarch64 armv8
32-bit Architectures
32bit_ARCHS = x86 armv7 armv7l qoriq comcerto2k ppc853x
ARM Architectures
ARM_ARCHS = aarch64 armv8 armv7 armv7l
ARMv7_ARCHS = armv7 armv7l
ARMv8_ARCHS = aarch64 armv8
Intel Architectures
x64_ARCHS = x64
x86_ARCHS = x86

Using Architecture Conditions
In Makefiles
# Only for 64-bit
ifeq ($(findstring $(ARCH),$(64bit_ARCHS)),$(ARCH))
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-64bit
endif
# Exclude 32-bit
UNSUPPORTED_ARCHS = $(32bit_ARCHS)
# ARM-specific
ifeq ($(findstring $(ARCH),$(ARM_ARCHS)),$(ARCH))
CONFIGURE_ARGS += --enable-neon
endif
In local.mk
# Build only for these architectures
SUPPORTED_ARCHS = x64-7.2 aarch64-7.2
Finding Your Architecture
From DSM
- Log into DSM web interface
- Go to Control Panel > Info Center > General
- Note the CPU Model and Model Name
- Look up in the tables above
From SSH
# Show kernel architecture
uname -m
# Show Synology platform (maps to architecture)
cat /proc/syno_platform
# Show CPU architecture details
cat /proc/syno_cpu_arch
From Package Download
The package download page at packages.synocommunity.com automatically detects your NAS architecture when accessed from the device.
