HW compatibility information
This document is written by reporters/contributors which means that the compatibility information is not certified.
How to use
Search (ctrl+f) your PC/device/chipset name, and check the compatibility information
SSH connection from remote
Requirement
- Server: A Wayne OS PC that runs base or dev version
- Client: A PC with ssh client feature (any OS is fine, but this document will explain with Linux shell)
- Check an IP address of the server and make sure the IP is reachable from the client (ex:
ping ${SERVER_IP})
Known issues
HW compatibility
We (Wayne Inc.) modify kernel, update device drivers and firmwares from upstream Chromium OS, however the HW compatibility is not as compatible as MS Windows since Linux/Chromium-OS kernel/firmware doesn’t support some devices perfectly and we also face difficulties to test a lot of devices.
We apologize to users about this issue and we will try our best to improve this.
