Request New Hardware Support

Don't see your hardware yet? You're in the right place. Avocado OS focuses on the most widely used platforms across edge AI and embedded deployments, and our support matrix keeps expanding — we evaluate new targets all the time based on customer demand, ecosystem adoption, and engineering feasibility.

Before submitting a request, check the Support Matrix to see what's supported and what's already under evaluation. Support for your target may already be on the way.

How we prioritize new hardware​

With hundreds of boards, SOMs, and gateways out there, we focus first on the platforms that deliver the most value to the most users. When we weigh a new target, we look at:

  • Customer demand
  • Community interest
  • Ecosystem maturity
  • Availability of BSPs and vendor support
  • Long-term maintenance requirements

Request hardware support​

If you'd like us to evaluate a specific target, we'd genuinely love to hear about it — every request helps us prioritize what to support next. You can:

  • Reach out to us with your target and use case
  • Join our Discord to share your use case, see what others are asking for, and add your voice to existing requests

Our engineering team reviews requests regularly when planning future platform support.

Try Avocado OS today with QEMU​

In the meantime, you don't need supported hardware to start exploring. You can run Avocado OS right now in an emulator with QEMU — no board required. It's the fastest way to experience the workflow, build a runtime, and get a real feel for the platform while we work on your target.

Head over to Getting Started with QEMU to spin up Avocado OS in minutes.

Custom hardware​

Using a custom carrier board, or hardware derived from a platform we already support? In many cases support can be added with board-specific configuration or overlay work, provided the required BSP and vendor resources are available.

  • Custom boards — typically supported as part of a paid engagement. Contact us and we'll map out the path.
  • Off-the-shelf SOMs, Gateways, and Boxes — if your hardware is based on a target we already support, it's usually straightforward overlay work once we have access to the BSP.

For commercial deployments, get in touch to discuss support options.
