When using this board with RIOT, set the BOARD variable to native64 in your Makefile. If you follow the standard RIOT project structure, your Makefile should look like this:

# name of your application
APPLICATION = hello-world

# Change this to your board if you want to build for a different board
BOARD ?= native64

# This has to be the absolute path to the RIOT base directory:
RIOTBASE ?= $(CURDIR)/RIOT

include $(RIOTBASE)/Makefile.include

Support for running RIOT natively on a 64-bit host platform

Overview

The RIOT native boards use system calls and signals to emulate hardware at the API level. That means that you can compile the complete RIOT software stack for your *NIX system and run it as a process.

BOARD=native64 as one of two possible native variants will compile to and execute a 64-bit executable. You may use boards_native32 instead for 32-bit executables. BOARD=native will automatically select the right variant depending on the host platform. For more information on the native boards please refer to boards_common_native.
