[SailfishDevel] Hardware compatibility
I am just doing some pre-development research and am having trouble finding some information. Does anyone know of a link that has a list of compatible hardware for SailfishOS. I did not see any while browsing the site. In particular, I am inquiring about MT6589T quad-core chipset. Below are the specs for one particular model that uses that chipset. I am new to the sailfish framework, any information related to hardware compatibility and stability would be greatly appreciated. Processor: 1.5GHz MTK MT6589T quad-core chipset Connectivity Technology: GSM + WCDMA Network Band: GSM 850/900/1800/1900MHz + WCDMA 2100MHz Data Technology:GPRS,EDGE,HSPA Bluetooth: Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR WLan: Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b/g USB: USB 2.0 GPS: GPS/A-GPS (Built-in GPS chipset) Built-in Memory: 16GB ROM / 1GB RAM, Memory Card: Support microSD/microSDHC memory card, up to 64GB, support App2SD Battery: Li-on battery 2300mAh Standby Time: 150-200 hours ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list

If the question isn't whether there's already a version of Sailfish that runs on this chipset, but whether Sailfish could ever run on it, then I suspect the answer, for now, is: SailfishOS is based on the Linux kernel, just like Android; if your chipset can run Android, then it can most likely also run SailfishOS. How much work it would be to port may depend on how friendly the chipset manufacturer is towards the idea. ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
Re: [SailfishDevel] Hardware compatibility
The important information seems to be (because this also has been mentioned very often in the IRC), if the device is capable to run CyanogenMod 10.1. So if this works, there is a chance to get it working. But no guarantee at all for this. :-) Am 06.03.2014 16:41, schrieb Ove Kåven: Den 06. mars 2014 16:09, skrev SRK Services: I am just doing some pre-development research and am having trouble finding some information.

Re: [SailfishDevel] Hardware compatibility
At the end there's no big difference I think. If the hardware is the same which is supported, will be easy to use for the platform, independent if there is already Android running on this device or not.

I assumed the OP wanted to build a new device from scratch (though I suppose I could be wrong about that). ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list ___ SailfishOS.org Devel mailing list
Re: [SailfishDevel] Hardware compatibility
Basically, if the hardware is able to run android, it should be able to run Sailfish. Thanks for the info. Your answers cleared up my questions.
