Unofficial Genode HCL

Regardless of the information on this page, if you are interested in Genode/SculptOS just give it a try on your hardware and feel free to share your findings. The community forum (in particular the hardware category) or the mailing-list can serve as first contact point.

In the past this page denoted known x86_64 systems on which Genode/SculptOS was tested. Instead of presenting an (out-dated) list of systems, below you will find a table containing the available drivers in vanilla SculptOS as of 26.04.2. By now Genode/Sculpt OS normally works nicely on a variety machines but due to the focus on Intel-based systems such machines are better supported than AMD-based ones.

List of drivers ^

The list contains the drivers included in 26.04.2.
