Examples
Display the build architecture
iPXE> show buildarch builtin/buildarch:string = i386
Description
Specifies the CPU architecture for which this version of iPXE was compiled. Possible values are:
i386 | 32-bit x86 CPU |
|---|---|
x86_64 | 64-bit x86 CPU |
arm32 | 32-bit ARM CPU |
arm64 | 64-bit ARM CPU |

Notes
The build architecture does not necessarily represent the architecture of the machine on which iPXE is running. In particular, a version of iPXE built for i386 may be running on a 64-bit machine. You can use the cpuid command to determine the architecture of the current machine:
cpuid --ext 29 && set arch x86_64 || set arch i386
