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 cannot run under the armhf architecture (#1203)
- Device uses an unsupported architecture (such as 32-bit PowerPC, armv5te, Cortex-M, MIPS...)
- Device has less than 128MB of storage with no option of expansion
- Device has no known flashing method

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 that is not sustainable for old architectures}}
- Cortex-M is a different architecture from Cortex-A, and is not supported by Alpine or postmarketOS. See also: What is the difference between ARMv7 and ARM Cortex-M series?.
