<p>GrapheneOS has official production support for the Pixel 2, Pixel 2 XL, Pixel 3,
|
|
Pixel 3 XL, Pixel 3a and Pixel 3a XL. The release tags for these devices have official
|
|
builds and updates available. These devices meet the stringent privacy and security
|
|
standards and have substantial upstream and downstream hardening specific to the
|
|
devices.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>Many other devices are supported by GrapheneOS at a source level, and it can be
|
|
built for them without modifications to the existing GrapheneOS source tree. Device
|
|
support repositories for the Android Open Source Project can simply be dropped into
|
|
the source tree, with at most minor modifications within them to support GrapheneOS.
|
|
In most cases, substantial work beyond that will be needed to bring the support up to
|
|
the same standards. For most devices, the hardware and firmware will prevent providing
|
|
a reasonably secure device, regardless of the work put into device support.</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>GrapheneOS also supports generic targets, but these aren't suitable for production
|
|
usage and are only intended for development and testing use. For mobile devices, the
|
|
generic targets simply run on top of the underlying device support code (firmware,
|
|
kernel, device trees, vendor code) rather than shipping it and keeping it updated. It
|
|
would be possible to ship generic system images with separate updates for the device
|
|
support code. However, it would be drastically more complicated to maintain and
|
|
support due to combinations of different versions and it would cause complications for
|
|
the hardening done by GrapheneOS. The motivation doesn't exist for GrapheneOS, since
|
|
full updates with deltas to minimize bandwidth can be shipped for every device and
|
|
GrapheneOS is the only party involved in providing the updates. For the same reason,
|
|
it has little use for the ability to provide out-of-band updates to system image
|
|
components including all the apps and many other components.</p>
