Hardware Compatibility

Hardware compatibility status and testing reports for Redox OS

This page tracks the current hardware compatibility of Redox OS across various computer models and architectures.

Why Hardware Reports Are Needed

Each computer model has different hardware interfaces, firmware implementations, and devices, which can cause the following problems:

• Boot bugs
• Lack of device support
• Performance degradation

These reports help us fix the problems above. Your report may help fix many computers affected by the same bugs or missing drivers.

Customized Hardware

If your desktop is customized (common), use “Custom” for the Vendor category and insert the motherboard and CPU vendor/model in the Model category.

A customized laptop should only be reported if you replaced the original CPU. Report the CPU vendor and model in the Model category.

We also recommend adding your pciutils log to the Community Hardware document to help with probable porting.

Compatibility Status Definitions

Recommended

The operating system boots with video, sound, PS/2 or USB input, Ethernet, terminal and Orbital working.

Booting

The operating system boots with some issues or lacking hardware support.

Broken

The boot loader doesn’t work or can’t bootstrap the operating system.

General Limitations

These limitations apply to all compatibility statuses:

• ACPI support is incomplete (some things are hardcoded in the kernel to work)
• Wi-Fi and Bluetooth aren’t supported yet
• AMD, NVIDIA, ARM, and PowerVR GPUs aren’t supported yet (only BIOS VESA and UEFI GOP)
• I2C devices aren’t supported yet (PS/2 or USB devices should be used)
• USB support varies on each device model because some USB devices require specific drivers
• Automatic operating system discovery is not implemented in the boot loader yet

Report Template

Use this format when submitting reports:

| Vendor | Model | Redox Version | Image Date | Variant | CPU Architecture | Motherboard Firmware | Report |

The Redox image date should use the ISO format (YYYY-MM-DD).

Table Row Ordering

New reports should use independent alphabetical order in the “Vendor” and “Model” table rows:

| ASUS | ROG g55vw |
| ASUS | X554L |
| System76 | Galago Pro (galp5) |
| System76 | Lemur Pro (lemp9) |

Each vendor has its own alphabetical order for models, independent from other vendors.
