This page aims at gathering info about the current supported platforms and porting effort in the future.

Android Wear

The Android Wear smartwatches are the most widespread and easy to support. The source code of their kernels is usually easily available and the drivers can be supported with libhybris. Those watches are the current priority of AsteroidOS.

Tizen Smartwatches

The Samsung Gear S, S2 and S2 Classic might be supported by AsteroidOS in the future but they will require more work than the other watches. Someone already got interested in the S2 port but gave up because he couldn't find the kernel's defconfig.

Other smartwatches

There are many Android (non-Wear) smartwatches available for a lower price. (e.g: the Omate *, Sony SW, Intex iRist, zWatch etc...) It might be more difficult to get access to the kernel's or android tree of those devices but libhybris could also make running AsteroidOS on top of them possible.

Other low-end smartwatches using cheap Mediatek SoCs aren't able to run a Linux kernel and can't be supported by AsteroidOS
