Hardware

A short list, on purpose

We support a narrow set of hardware and test every combination. Unsupported boards are declined politely and consistently so that support stays fast for everyone.

DeviceStatusNotes
Raspberry Pi 5 (4 GB / 8 GB)SupportedRecommended. Handles heavy dashboards and 1080p video comfortably. 4K output supported.
Raspberry Pi 4 (2 GB or more)SupportedGood for websites, dashboards, images, and 1080p video.
Raspberry Pi 400 / 500SupportedSame board family. Keyboard is ignored in kiosk mode.
Generic Linux / x86 mini PCNextIntel N100-class boxes and old thin clients. In development.
Raspberry Pi 3B / 3B+ (1 GB)Best effortThe same image boots and runs websites, images, messages and 1080p video. Heavy dashboards are slow, and we do not test every release on it.
Raspberry Pi 2 and earlier, Pi ZeroNot supportedToo little memory for a modern browser to stay healthy for weeks.
Android / Fire TVNot planned yetOnly if demand justifies it.

Got the hardware? The flashing guide walks through writing the image on Windows, macOS and Linux.

Storage

Use a high-endurance microSD (A2, 32 GB or more) or boot from an SSD. Consumer cards fail. The image runs read-only where practical to protect them.

Power

Use the official power supply. Under-voltage is the single most common cause of "random" reboots, and the portal will warn you when it happens.

Screens

Any HDMI screen. Consumer TVs have quirks with CEC, sleep timers, and EDID; the hardware page in the docs lists the settings to change.

Have a Pi in a drawer?

That is all you need. The image is free and so are the first three screens.
