Will FreeDOS work on AMD CPUs?
Not without something like an emulator or a virtual machine.
Yes it will. You confused AMD with ARM. FreeDOS will run
on AMD CPU and I have an AMD based PC with FreeDOS :-)
It will not run directly on ARM hardware, which includes
devices like most Android smartphones and tablets. You
can run DOS in emulators on such hardware, though ;-)
For example I routinely run packaged software which was compiled for
DOS on more or less all of the Raspberry Pi boards, using the DOSBox
DOS emluator.
Raspberry Pi, for example, use Broadcom System-on-a-Chip
with ARM processor architecture.
I believe you could also use the same tricks to run on a UEFI Intel...
People have tried to build DOS compatible CSM for UEFI, but
this is still very experimental. Because UEFI is not a BIOS,
you have to load additional modules (CSM) to implement the
BIOS functionality required to natively run DOS.
Until a few years ago, most computers still gave you the
choice between booting "legacy" BIOS and modern UEFI based
operating systems. Recently, computers without BIOS support
became the norm. You cannot easily run DOS directly on such
hardware, no matter which brand of processor it includes.
