Hardware Support¶
Dashboard Assistant ships as a single x86_64 disk image today. Other
architectures are in progress — the table below tracks the current state.
| Target | Status | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| x86_64 (mini-PC, laptop, tablet) | ✅ Supported | Primary, tested target. Ships as a flashable disk image. |
| Raspberry Pi 4 (aarch64) | 🚧 Work in progress | SD-card image builds; used for bring-up and testing. |
| Raspberry Pi 5 (aarch64) | 🔠Planned | On the roadmap — support is being worked on. |
| Other aarch64 boards | 🔠Planned | Not yet packaged. |
x86_64¶
Any machine with decent mainline Linux support should work — most mini-PCs, old laptops and x86 tablets qualify. The image bundles broad hardware and firmware support rather than being trimmed to one board, so the same file boots across a wide range of devices.
Requirements:
- UEFI boot (the disk image ships an EFI system partition).
- A writable target disk — internal SSD/eMMC, a SATA drive, or an NVMe drive.
- A touchscreen is recommended for wall-panel use, but not required.
Raspberry Pi¶
Raspberry Pi 4 support exists as a separate SD-card image and is used for development. It is not yet a polished, release-grade target — expect rough edges.
Raspberry Pi 5 is on the roadmap and is actively being worked on. Follow the project on GitHub for progress on both boards.
