ARM Boards

These boards are available to anyone in the community who is interested in improving their support.

Project Ideas

These are some of the things you could do with the ARM boards. They can also be done with a Raspberry Pi 2 or 3.

  • reduce I/O in the shell and the session
  • improve graphics performance in the Shell
  • Reverse engineer the Mali GPU
  • GPIO Portal support for flatpak
  • remote deployment of flatpaks from a laptop to an external device

Feel free to add your own ideas for how GNOME's support for these devices can be improved.

These have a Mali GPU, which requires a proprietary driver (instructions for how to install it).

These can run GNOME Shell and Wayland with a free stack, as the GPU has free drivers.
