Hardware support

This page lists what kind of drivers are available for what kind of machines. What is listed is known to work, but not necessarily ironclad. Glitch can be expected and some configurations might not be available yet.

Additionally, there's a repository of example deployments to real machines that you can look at to have an idea of how Dusk OS is deployed on this hardware listed below.
