Hi, Alex,
I notice the vbox_auto_win8 using the "assert_spec 64bit", does this meant that this script is for 64-bit Guest OS.
No. By invoking the run script you build Genode - not a VM. The VM image is provided by you (vdi/iso) and is just used as is. So it means by invoking the run script the assertion takes care that you build a 64bit Genode "host".
I understand that the various run scripts are to build Genode with
various components including the Guest VM provided in a VDI.
The thing that I don't understand are the macros that you use in scripts
- such as "assert_spec".
Can you point me to where I can find documentation for the various
macros which I understand are based on Expect.
But still - whatever you buy/setup - you need a way to get serial output from the machine - otherwise we can't help you really.
Noted. I'll try to explore using Intel AMT to support the serial logging. I've acquired a refurbished Lenovo X201, can you advise how I can try to
emulate what Norman is doing - configuration and run scripts.
Thanks.

Yes.
Btw, is it necessary to stick to 32-bit versions of the Guest OSs ?
Yes. We don't support 64bit guests currently.

Anyway, I would to consult you what are the main hardware features that
are
required to be compatible to the Nova/Genode software ?
Here at Genode Labs we focus for Genode/Nova on Intel-based hardware (especially CPU, graphic card, wifi cards) - but not exclusively. In principal all other vendors do - but you should expect extra efforts to debug things or to develop/port/enable drivers for your devices. The CPU must not be too old for the Nova kernel - especially if you want to use virtualization extensions. Beginning with 1st generation of Intel Core i3/5/7 CPUs you should be fine. Good experience we have with Lenovo notebooks which we use regularly/daily to run Genode.
But still - whatever you buy/setup - you need a way to get serial output from the machine - otherwise we can't help you really.
Cheers,
Alex.
