As mentioned in the installation document, If no SDK installers provided for the SGX SDK 2.9 and above, for the below OS distribution

Anandakumar_0-1626157051818.pngShould I use SGXSDK 2.8 instead SGXSDK 2.9 ? If SDK is not supported, then why those distributions are in the supported OS list?

 

Thanks,

Anand

Hello Anand,


The long list of supported OSes includes support for the SGX driver and PSW. The SDK installer is more restrictive because of the native GCC version in the unsupported OSes.


Since this is security software, you should use the latest released software to ensure you have the most up-to-date security and functionality fixes. Using older SDKs makes your software less secure. We recommend to upgrade your OS so that you can use the latest version of the SGX SDK.
