Broad device support is counter to the aims of the - project, and the project will eventually be engaging in hardware and firmware level - improvements rather than only offering suggestions and bug reports upstream for those - areas. Much of the work on the project involves changes that are specific to different - devices, and officially supported devices are the ones targeted by most of this - ongoing work. GrapheneOS also has source level support without device-specific - hardening for the Android emulator, HiKey, HiKey 960 and also generic targets - providing basic support for many other devices.</p> - <p>Devices need to be meet the standards of the project in order to be considered as - potential targets. In addition to support for installing other operating systems, - standard hardware-based security features like the hardware-backed keystores, verified - boot, attestation and various hardware-based exploit mitigations need to be available. - Devices also need to have decent integration of IOMMUs for isolating components such - as the GPU, radios (NFC, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Cellular), media decode / encode, image - processor, etc. as if the hardware / firmware support is missing or broken, there's - not much that the OS can do to provide an alternative. Devices with support for - alternative operating systems as an afterthought will not be considered. Devices need - to have proper ongoing support for their firmware and software specific to the - hardware like drivers in order to provide proper full security updates too. Devices - that are end-of-life and no longer receiving these updates will not be supported.</p> - <p>In order to support a device, the appropriate resources also need to be available - and dedicated towards it. Releases for each supported device need to be robust and - stable, with all standard functionality working properly and testing for each of the - releases.</p> - <p>Hardware, firmware and software specific to devices like drivers play a huge role - in the overall security of a device. The goal of the project is not to slightly - improve some aspects of insecure devices and supporting a broad set of devices would - be directly counter to the values of the project. A lot of the low-level work also - ends up being fairly tied to the hardware.</p> - <p>Some of the GrapheneOS sub-projects support other operating systems on a broader - range of devices. Device support for Auditor and AttestationServer is documented in - the <a href="https://attestation.app/about">overview of those projects</a>. The - <a href="https://github.com/GrapheneOS">hardened_malloc</a> project supports nearly - any Linux-based environment due to official support for musl, glibc and Bionic along - with easily added support for other environments. It can easily run on non-Linux-based - operating systems too, and supporting some like HardenedBSD is planned but depends on - contributors from those communities.</p> + <p>See <a href="/faq#device-support">the FAQ section on device support</a>.</p> </div> <footer> <a href="/"><img src="https://grapheneos.org/logo.png" width="512" height="512" alt=""/>GrapheneOS</a> |
