This page could use some expansion. If you'd like to help out, feel free to edit this article!
In particular: Please expand with more projects, links and descriptions, and a nice intro - then remove this message. |
This page is for listing devices that, to our current knowledge, cannot run postmarketOS.
Projects to run another OS on the device can be linked if they exist.
Common Issues
- Device uses ARMv6 without FPU/VFP, and so it cannot run under the armhf architecture #1203
- Device uses unsupported architecture (ie. 32-bit powerpc, armv5te)
- Device has less than 128MB of storage with no option of expansion
- Device can't get flashed
Or
- Device is literally a joke

Some devices listed here are jokes and shall not be interpreted literally. |

Notes
- The architecture "armhf" in pmOS is ARMv6 but has a strict requirement on an FPU (i.e., requires VFP). #1203
- Theoretically we could bootstrap a new architecture onto Alpine Linux (run the bootstrap script from Alpine's aports folder, then compile all packages from scratch) but its not feasible at the moment. #1203
- Those architectures that used in contex-m* are different from those architectures that used in contex-a*.Postmarket OS currently only support 3 of those architecture that used in contex-a* (armhf . armv7 , aarch64) See here)
