Hi guys,
I’ve been reading the doc and the requirements section and I understand we need a RaspBerry Pi 3 for testing/using WebOS OSE. I will try it, but I was wondering if you have any plan to support other devices/architectures. I own a 42LG5700 with the old NetCast SO and I would love to test this WebOS OSE there.
If not… do you know where can we find information of the chipsets used for these old TVs to check the possibility of building on it?
Thanks.
Hi ikabot,
We haven’t decided the specific plan for supporting other devices yet.
Also, we don’t know the chipset information of TV products. I’m sorry for that.
It would be cool to do, and list of devices and there specifications, like DD-WRT has so the community could help and develop.

Well we always have other project to help us in this quest,

Hi,
Newish to WebOS OSE. And wanted to pick up this thread on device support, which I see as key for its growth adoption (I love it so far).
#1 Obvious question, will RPi 5 be supported?
#2 I've been evaluating balenaCloud and they have managed to support a lot of devices along common CPU/SoC lines using Yocto layers/builds. Could a similar, maybe collaborative, approach be taken? Maybe something like Orange Pi keeping the open theme alive, and then maybe a larger sidways steps into Google Coral, Jetson Nano and more.
Hi @gavin67890,
We are watching RPi 5 with interest, yet we are uncertain when it will be supported.
Due to scarcity of development resources, it may be challenging to extend support to other devices such as Orange Pi.
Thanks,
