About hardware ports

Dragon Q6A is the reference development platform. A Raspberry Pi 5 image is planned. Other boards begin as community ports.

Desktop UI work can often start with component previews. A complete port also needs real-device graphics, input, audio, session and recovery testing.

Read each repository’s license. Upstream dependencies, fonts and branding retain their own terms.
