X86_64 ROS - 64bit Mikrotik

let’s have an experiment. starting with this:

[admin@MikroTik] > sys resource pr
                   uptime: 3m32s
                  version: 6.30rc20
               build-time: Jun/12/2015 14:48:23
              free-memory: 231.6MiB
             total-memory: 249.7MiB
                      cpu: Intel(R)
                cpu-count: 2
            cpu-frequency: 2933MHz
                 cpu-load: 0%
           free-hdd-space: 73.4MiB
          total-hdd-space: 99.1MiB
  write-sect-since-reboot: 514
         write-sect-total: 514
        architecture-name: x86
               board-name: x86
                 platform: MikroTik

upgrade it to v6.31:

[admin@MikroTik] > sys resource print 
                   uptime: 55s
                  version: 6.31
               build-time: Aug/14/2015 15:42:51
              free-memory: 233.8MiB
             total-memory: 250.0MiB
                      cpu: Intel(R)
                cpu-count: 1
            cpu-frequency: 2933MHz
                 cpu-load: 0%
           free-hdd-space: 65.6MiB
          total-hdd-space: 99.1MiB
  write-sect-since-reboot: 614
         write-sect-total: 614
        architecture-name: x86
               board-name: x86
                 platform: MikroTik

(look at ‘cpu-count: 1’ - probably, that’s the reason why download links for that version don’t work)

go to System → Resource → Hardware - check ‘Allow x86-64’ (in WinBox. can’t find it in CLI). reboot

and voila!.. oops, ‘architecture-name: x86’ :slight_smile: no worry, just upgrade to the latest version:

[admin@MikroTik] > /sys resource print 
                   uptime: 1m24s
                  version: 6.38.3 (stable)

                cpu-count: 2
