<h3><a href="#when-devices">When will more devices be supported?</a></h3>
|

|

<p>Broader device support can only happen after the community (companies,
|
||||
organizations and individuals) steps up to make substantial, ongoing contributions to
|
||||
making the existing device support sustainable. Once the existing device support is
|
||||
more sustainable, early research and development work for other devices can begin.
|
||||
Once a device is deemed to be a worthwhile target, the project needs maintainers to
|
||||
develop and maintain support for it including addressing device-specific issues that
|
||||
are uncovered, which will include issues uncovered in the device support code by
|
||||
GrapheneOS hardening features.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It's not really a matter of time but rather a need for community support for the
|
||||
project increasing. As an open source project, the way to get something to happen in
|
||||
GrapheneOS is to contribute to it, and this is particularly true for device support
|
||||
since it's very self-contained and can be delegated to separate teams for each
|
||||
device. If you want to see more devices supported sooner, you should get to work on
|
||||
identifying good devices with full support for alternative operating systems with
|
||||
verified boot, etc. and then start working on integrating and testing support.</p>
|
||||
|
||||
<p>It should also be clear that the expectation is for people to buy a device to run
|
||||
GrapheneOS, rather than GrapheneOS supporting their existing devices. This will only
|
||||
become more true if GrapheneOS is successful enough to accomplish the goal of having
|
||||
devices produced based on an SoC reference design with minor improvements for privacy
|
||||
and security. Broad device support is the opposite of what the project wants to
|
||||
achieve in the long term.</p>
|
||||
<p>The expectation is for people to buy a secure device meeting our requirements
|
||||
to run GrapheneOS. Broad device support would imply mainly supporting very badly
|
||||
secured devices unable to support our features. It would also take a substantial
|
||||
amount of resources away from our work on privacy and security, especially since
|
||||
a lot of it is closely tied to the hardware such as the USB-C port control and
|
||||
fixing or working around memory corruption bugs uncovered by our features. We
|
||||
plan to partner with OEMs to have devices produced meeting all our requirements,
|
||||
providing additional privacy/security features beyond them and ideally shipping
|
||||
with GrapheneOS rather than massively lowering our standards.</p>
