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...)
- Device has less than 128MB of storage with no option of expansion
- Device has no known flashing method

Other devices
| 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 |
| Prestigio MultiTab PMP4038BRU (prestigio-pmp4038b) | armv5ej not supported by Alpine |
| PalmOne Zire 31 | armv5te not supported by Alpine |
| Xiaomi Amazfit Stratos/Verge | 32-bit MIPS not supported by Alpine |
| Leapfrog didj (leapfrog-lightning) | Pollux VF3520F - armv5tej not supported by alpine |
| Leapster Explorer (leapfrog-emerald) | Pollux VF3520F - armv5tej not supported by alpine |
| Leappad Explorer (leapfrog-madrid) | Pollux VF3520F - armv5tej 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
- 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?.
