Hardware Compatibility

Philip Tricca edited this page Jul 4, 2014 · 26 revisions

OpenXT depends heavily on hardware to support software features. At times we run into problems with platforms (laptops / desktops etc) and their implementations of these hardware features. This page is a place where the OpenXT community can track the testing done on the available platforms and the level of support each platform provides. We expect this will start with developers reporting their successes and failures for their test systems but eventually we hope that OEMs will participate as well.

OpenXT HCL Table Legend

This legend describes the intended purpose of each column in the OpenXT HCL table.

Note: that I can't get the GitHub wiki to respect MediaWiki 'style' attributes so I can't figure out how to color the cell backgrounds. Anyone figure this out feel free to make 'success' green and 'fail' red. Note: that all test cases are currently manual. As actual test cases are added they should each be documented and this page updated with links.

Attributes
Column Description
Platform The platform is an identifier for the system under test. For a specific laptop or desktop this will be the name used by the manufacturer. For non-traditional systems ("beige box") this should be the manufacturers name for the motherboard.
CPU The manufacturers name for the CPU.
GPU The manufacturers name for the Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) on the system. As is increasingly common, the GPU will often be integrated into the CPU but in some cases it will be a discrete device still.
Firmware Version The version number assigned by the manufacturer to the system firmware (aka "the BIOS" version).
Network Adapter(s) List of the network adapters on the system. Include manufacturer and model number of each device.
Audio Device Manufacturer and model of the audio device on to the system.
Test Cases
Column Description
Reported By The GitHub handle of the user adding data to the HCL table. Please announce all additions on the OpenXT Google Group.
Verified By The GitHub handle of an additional user who has reproduced the same results on the same system.
TXT Results reported by the TXT test case.
TPM Results reported by the TPM test case.
HVM Results reported by the HVM test case.
IOMMU Results reported by the IOMMU test case.
Network Results reported by the Networking test case.
Graphics Results reported by the Graphics test case.
Audio Results reported by the Audio test case.
Test Results
Value Description
Success The string "Success" indicates that the hardware component functions as expected and the test passes. This is only valid in a "Test Case" column.
Fail the string "Fail" indicates that the hardware component does not function as expected and the test failed. This is only valid in a "Test Case" column
