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 or , ARMv*m and so it cannot run under the armhf architecture #1203
- Device uses Category: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

Other devices that isnt supported
Some devices listed here are jokes and shall not be interpreted literally. |
Device | Notes |
---|---|
Nintendo GameCube (nintendo-dolphin) | 32-bit PPC not supported by Alpine. See GC-Linux and wii-linux-ngx (most active fork). |
Nintendo Wii (nintendo-revolution) | 32-bit PPC not supported by Alpine. See Wii-Linux and wii-linux-ngx (most active fork). |
Nintendo Wii U (nintendo-cafe) | 32-bit PPC not supported by Alpine. See linux-wiiu on GitLab and their wiki. Kernel mainline would require major edits to the main kernel to get the USB ports working. |
Zipit Z2 | armv5te not supported by Alpine |
PalmOne Zire 31 | armv5te not supported by Alpine |
Xiaomi Amazfit Stratos/Verge | 32-bit MIPS not supported by Alpine |
The NoPhone (nophone-thenophone) | Plastic not supported by Alpine |
The NoPhone Air (null) | Air molecules not supported by Alpine |
Human (homo-sapiens) | Largely undocumented architecture, no concrete method to flash.Lucky there are already several reverse engineering project.(See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain%E2%80%93computer_interface) |
Cake™ (food-cake) | No concrete method to flash, cake™ not supported by Alpine |
Gnu (animal-wildebeest) | Wildebeest cannot be flashed |
Coca-Cola™ (coca-cola-coca-cola) | No concrete method to flash, Coca-Cola™ not supported by Alpine |
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* (Category:armhf , Category:armv7 , Category:aarch64) (See here)
