AROS should run on almost any i386 PC hardware so long as the CPU is newer than an i486, and has a "Floating Point Unit (FPU)". Ideally around 700Mhz and above with at least 256MB of memory is recommended for desktops and around 1GHz and at least 256MB for laptops/notebooks/netbooks. For web browsing, etc above 1GB is usually needed and offers the option to run web browsers, media players and other hard disk heavy usage from RAM: disk. 


Most hardware support covers the period between 2000 and 2010


Motherboards supported

  • Most Intel mobos are supported (Skt 775 is ok but newer is better) - additional pci / pci-e cards may be needed for networking, audio, etc
  • AMD based socket 939 am2 am2+ am3+, fusion and am4 ryzen based systems work but additional pci / pci-e cards may be needed
Motherboard support gets diminished after 2010 due to the introduction of SATA/AHCI (mobos) and UEFI (mobos and disks) and further with USB3 from 2014 onwards


Supported graphics cards (gfx)

  • Nvidia 2D and 3D 2005-2011. Nouveau supports 2D from TNT through to fermi gtx5xx and 3D acceleration fx5xxx to gtx4xx. It's worth noting however that support isn't guaranteed. Nor will potential power of a card reflect its performance under AROS.
  • Intel 2D and 3D 2006-2009. 2D for many old netbooks and motherboards. 3D for many early netbooks and motherboards
  • AMD/ATI 2D only and no 3D. 1999-2005. Desktop ie external monitor support only (no laptop internal support) for very early Radeon 7000 through to x600. Experimental 2D version for up to HD3xxx came later
  • VESA 2D fallback modes for all graphic cards (GPUs) and with screen dragging.



Sound wise there are

  • HDaudio support for onboard intel and AMD netbooks, ultrabooks, notebooks and motherboards (2005 to 2014)
  • some AC97 codec support for very old motherboards and laptops (ie pre 2004)


  • PCI and some PCI-E C-Media CMI8738 for desktop plugin cards
  • PCI Creative Soundblaster EMU10K1 cards SBLive
  • PCI semi professional some early VIA Envy24 desktop sound cards
  • PCI Sound Blaster 128 aka SB16


Supported network which could be desktop, laptop, etc

  • PCI-E Realtek rtl8169 which also includes the rtl8111 and rtl8110
  • PCI Realtek rtl8139 and includes rtl8101 and rtl8100
  • PCI intel pro100
  • Broadcom 44xx 10/100 integrated in laptops around 2005
  • VIA 10/100
  • 3com Etherlink 10/100
  • Realtek rtl8029 10mbit


Wireless wifi

  • atheros 5000 wireless


It is very hard to recommend a completely supported motherboard because as soon as newer motherboards arrive so their features change subtly, often introducing non supported parts like ethernet and audio. It is a moving target.

  • mini-itx motherboard will only get you 1 pci or pci-e slot
  • micro mATX or uATX will have more, typically 2 pci-e or pci slots which helps if any onboard features are not supported.
  • full atx will have more slots available

N.B It is frustrating when a piece of hardware is not supported. Hardware documentation can run to over 100 pages and a lot of hardware do not have any public documentation anyway. Chips from different manufacturers for sound, graphics, SATA, etc. vary just as much, unless they follow a standard such as HDAudio codecs, AHCI etc.

Coding drivers is a far cry from Hello World programs or even a port of existing software. If you do actually want to try then get a hold of documentation on the relevant hardware and start there. Alternatively you could try to find some BSD, MIT or MPL licence drivers as a point of reference. Please , do not think you can just adapt strings in a driver for different strings, it does not work that way. You will need to start from scratch for each new bit of hardware. Device driver programming require embedded skills, like manipulation of bits within registers, good debugging skills, dealing with interrupts, lots of patience, etc.


The following specific chipsets and drivers are also available - use Tools/PCITool to confirm Vendor and Product IDs - Please let us know any mistakes or any information to be added, to this General Chat list on AROS World

Audio Chipsets

[edit | edit source]

If sound beeps in AHI prefs after Music set then some support is there. Select more than one channel for multiple audio streams, set frequency up to 44 kHz or higher and set the volume if not already set. Ensure you set the music unit 0 to 3 which allows the extra features of the audio card like microphone, line-out, etc).


1996-2000 sb128.audio aka SB16 PCI

[edit | edit source]
  • 2021 5.27

as per CREATIVE's website, the model number is the first two digits on the front and first two digits on the back. my card says CT4810 and 161TK110B 995; this translates to CT4816 as the model.

The original AudioPCI 3000 card with the ES1370 had a master clock crystal for 44.1 kHz (22.5792 MHz), used an AKM codec (AK4531, non-AC97) and had 4 channel output; Creative later modified the design with a crystal for 48 kHz (24.576 MHz) and Sigmatel AC97 codec (a CT4700 SB128 with a CT5507 chip, AK4531, 22.5792 MHz crystal and TDA7360 speaker power amp). The issue with these cards involved never quite eliminate the effects of resampling on the 64V, it also shows signs of undersized coupling caps. These Ensoniq cards automatically engaged headphone amplifier (with a 4565 opamp).

Porting involved 40897, 40898 configure, 40900 bugs, 40901 further bugs, 40913 memory IO fixes, 40914 irq fix.

The AC97 chips were designed to be pinout interchangeable so that the sound support could change easily and quickly without motherboard redesigns

the green jack is for the main speaker pair AND headphones, so manual switching will be required If your card is wired for the "AC97" standard, then it's up to your headphone jack to switch the green speaker output in and out, the headphone jack has Normally-closed contacts that will open on insertion, which breaks the signal path back to the sound card (FP_RETURN)

Wolfson (now Cirrus Logic) WM8850
Wolfson WM8860 Intel High Definition Audio Revision 1.0. - 4-Channel DAC, 4-channel ADC. - DAC sampling


Using Prefs/AHI ensure you set the music unit and at least Units 0 (where most audio comes from) in top left drop down menu to HDaudio - HIFI in the section below. Set Units 1 or 2 to microphone or other outputs. Plus allow more than one channel for multiple audio streams and set frequency up to 44 kHz or higher on the right hand side of the ahi prefs. If sound beeps when you press the test button then all should be OK. 

Output <- Codec <- Audio Controller (HDA) <-> Computer

codecs and exact hardware identifier. As mentioned above, HDA is only part of the work here, it gets the audio out of the main chipset in digital format (on a bus called I2S). This is not enough, there is another step needed which is routing that I2S signal to the output, converting it to actual audio, amplifying it, etc. This is handled by a separate chip called a "codec". Sometimes it is initialized by the BIOS, but this is not always the case.

Most audio drivers are made up of two parts a Controller + a Codec. The ProductID and VendorID are for the audio controller only - the important additional codec is NOT so easily identified. 

Some newer versions of codecs are missing at the moment.


Things to try if sound not working

  • try to connect something to the audio jack, maybe it is not playing on internal speakers or vice versa
  • make sure you try and select all music units e.g. unit0, unit1....
  • even if PCI ID's are in Prefs/Env-Archive/HDaudio.config, this doesn't mean it is working, it is the codec that matters
  • it might be internally muted


add debug=memory to grub boot line - continue booting with F10 
Open a shell 
Tools/Debug/Bifteck > RAM:audio.txt

or 

Open a shell 
Tools/Debug/Sashimi > RAM:audio.txt
Run ahi prefs
Click test tone button 
Stop sashimi with Ctrl-C

If the boot sound is enabled, you have to use Bifteck to capture AHI debug output. In the GRUB menu, press E on your selected entry, then add "debug=memory" to the options (alongside ATA=, vesa= etc.). Then F10 or Ctrl-X to boot. Once booted, run Tools/Debug/Bifteck again.

or

  • try adding QUERYD to the start of ENVARC:hdaudio.config file (also known as Prefs/Env-Archive/) ie. on the first line
  • OR try removing QUERY and QUERYD from the start of the hdaudio.config file
  • Reboot
  • open a shell
  • type: sys:tools/debug/sashimi > ram:debug.txt
  • open ahi prefs
  • select one of the audio modes - HIFI or otherwise
  • press the 'test sound' button
  • press ctrl-c in the shell
  • post the results to Aros-World


The HD Audio standard was designed to be hardware pinout interchangeable so that the sound support could change easily and quickly. HDA is a standard around particular chips. Each kind of chip has a certain number of DACs and pins, and even the same chip could be hooked up in different ways on different motherboards. The chips are programmable and the operating system can adjust how things are routed. Some pins aren’t even hooked up, so it makes no sense to route sound to them. Also some pins have sensors that can tell when something is plugged in, so that for example the speakers in a laptop can be muted when headphones are plugged in. Pins are also grouped, so for example all the outputs for a 5.1 sound system are grouped. Generally the HDA driver in the operating system is supposed to read the pin set up and figure out a reasonable way to set things up, and disconnected pins should be ignored, etc.

HDAudio standard has headphones on a separate DAC, and it's up to the driver.. it can even send different audio to the headphones without interrupting the main (green) outputs


Envy24 series

[edit | edit source]

A little history. VIA bought the ICE created Envy chipsets VT1712 first. A few years later, they created several cheaper variants VT1724 (mixer missing), VT1721 (low end cut down), VT1720 (embedded on motherboard) and lastly the VT1723 (no support apart from Windows Envy24DT like SYBA SD-PEX63034).

There are PCI Express versions appearing.

The Envy24 is the base product that was originally designed by ICEnsemble, and it supports multi-channel hardware mixing, which is great for professional use. The HT version removes the hardware mixer (unimportant for non-professional uses). The HT-S version is almost exactly the same as the HT, it just uses cheaper DACs. The PT version is exactly the same as the HT-S version, it is just the edition used for on-board audio on motherboards.

N.B. PCI slot identification and 3.3v PCI.

[edit | edit source]

DVI output is not supported at the moment.

If having problems:

  • Ensure the latest version is being used.
  • Set GMA_MEM to 128 or 256 to test
  • Try the FORCEGMA ToolType for 2D, and try the FORCEGALLIUM ToolType for 3D acceleration after 2D is verified to work. ToolTypes should be applied to the Devs/Monitors/IntelGMA monitor icon.

If still having problems:

  • At GRUB boot screen edit boot line and add option: debug=memory
  • Boot.
  • Use shell command: tools/debug/bifteck > RAM:debug.txt
  • And post [GMA MONITOR DETECTION] and other related debug lines

[edit | edit source]
  • Desktop, more likely hit rather than miss on very early nvidia (but not on old VIA motherboard chipsets i.e. pre 2010)
  • Laptop, limited support for very early non-optimus (i.e. just Nvidia only so no Intel/nvidia combinations)

On linux, Customers with NVIDIA Turing and NVIDIA Ampere Architecture GPUs can choose which modules to install. Pre-Turing (pre hardware raytrace) customers will continue to run the closed source modules. There's hope that might make it to other OSs

If you purchased a notebook with an NVidia sticker on it, most of the time you have a optimus based one, ie Intel CPU melded with Nvidia GPU, Optimus was slated at one point to go into desktop PCs but the industry ended up rejecting that concept


Without something like Bumblebeehere or PRIME in AROS, most optimus laptops will default to Intel graphics

3D is not implemented by AROS but could cover these AMD chipsets

  • r300g - 9600 to X1900 - llvm not needed - r300 software driver deprecated and doubtful very useful
  • r600g Evergreen - HD 2xxx to 6xxx - llvm not necessarily needed and can use swrast - r600 software driver deprecated
  • SI - HD 7xxx and up - faster llvmpipe required (extra bounty??)
  • AMDGPU Vulkan GCN 3rd gen (GCN 1.2)

fyi if a notebooks with two graphic cards, the integrated Intel card (id 0x7d) for low power usage and a discrete Radeon card (id 0x56) which should be used for GPU-intensive applications. By default the Intel card is always used


Gallium Radeon HD is not ported yet but is really big and complex so another solution may have to be found like vulkan where support starts from very recent ISA GCN islands HD7000s cards only



  • Vulkan
  • Gallium


Vulkan software renderer allows to prepares the infrastructure for hardware rendering. Primary difference between software and hardware renderer is output to regular RAM vs GPU RAM, the rest is almost the same. It is possible to render to GPU RAM offscreen.

bare bones basics data flow 

application,>>> api/opengl/vulkan>>>>, jit compiler, >>>>memory manger, >>>>gpu hardware

so you need to have a compiler that takes your api call/program/shaders/drawing commands and turns them into a program the gpu can render.

the vulkan to amd gpu compiler for shaders and textures is nearly os agnostic iirc as long as you have solid posix compliance

Unlike OpenGL, Vulkan does not depend on windowing system and it have driver add-on system with standardized API (Mesa also have OpenGL driver add-ons, but it have non-standard Mesa-specific API). OpenGL may need more work for windowing system related code at this point but developing Vulkan on real hardware is more strategic than developing OpenGL, since now Zink 3 running on Vulkan compensates for the lack of OpenGL support by giving performance similar to native accelerated OpenGL

RadeonGfx use client-server model with client-server thread pairs. For each client thread that calls 3D acceleration API, server side thread is created. If client thread terminates, server side thread also exit.

Not supported

  • OpenGL4 GPU must have 64-bit floating point FP64 math support, which is a hard requirement for GL 4.0. The max last revision opengl 4.6 (2017) on AMDGPU RX 5000's / 6000s (RDNA might come to AROS) but Intel UHD, Iris Plus or Xe, Nvidia RTX (will not)
  • OpenGL3 last revision 3.3 (2011)


Some support

  • OpenGL2 nvidia-nouveau,
  • OpenGL1 intel gma,


Kernel-space drivers like radeon (older AMD driver for older GPUs), amdgpu (newer driver for newer GPUs, allows using a few new features), i915, nouveau and a few others. They are what handles the gory details of talking to the GPU itself (writing to proper registers, handling its memory directly, configuring outputs, and so on). Unfortunately most of what they're exposing can be only consumed by a single user of that GPU, which is why we need...

DRM and DRI (Direct Rendering Manager/Infrastructure) controls access to the GPUs, provides interfaces for talking to the GPU concurrently by multiple apps at once (without them breaking each other) and lets the system perform the most basic tasks like setting proper resolution and such if no userspace apps understand how to talk to the GPU exposed. DRI and DRM expose the GPU interfaces mostly as-is, not in a "vendor-neutral" portable way - if you don't have an application developed specifically for a GPU you have, it won't work.

"let's create a vendor-neutral interface for graphics so that apps can ignore the GPU-specific bits and get right to the drawing!" - which is what OpenGL is. User-space drivers implement the OpenGL specification and expose it as an OpenGL library to apps (like games, browsers, etc) instead of the GPU. Mesa is the most popular collection of open-source user-space drivers and contains a few user-space drivers for different GPU families: radeonsi for most modern AMD GPUs (and r600g, r300g and others for older ones), i915/i965 for old/new Intel GPUs and nouveau for Nvidia GPUs.

There's also Gallium, which is a bunch of utilities and common code shared among these drivers - if certain things can be done once and work everywhere, they'll land in Gallium and benefit all the drivers. Most Mesa drivers use Gallium (radeonsi, nouveau, software renderers), some don't (intel).

Displaying 2D windows supports device-specific 2D drivers as well, but nowadays most of these are no longer needed as the modesetting can handle most hardware on its own. As the DRM/DRI got some additional interfaces for what used to be hardware-specific (setting resolutions, refresh rates, etc) and software requiring accelerated 2D drawing was optimized OpenGL-based renderers, dedicated 2D acceleration is slowly going away. Since around 2012, the 3D part of the graphics card deals with 2D operations.

Modern GPUs can also decode video!? There's VDPAU (NVIDIA & AMD GPUs) and VA-API (AMD & Intel GPUs) that can also talk to the GPU exposed via DRM/DRI and issue proper commands to decode/encode a given video stream. Those drivers are GPU-specific too.


So let's say you have some example GPUs, here's how example stacks could look like:

  • AMD Radeon HD8750: amdgpu -> DRM/DRI -> Mesa (radeonsi)
  • AMD Radeon HD4850: radeon kernel driver -> DRM/DRI -> Mesa (r600g) -> games/apps/etc.
  • NVIDIA GeForce 460: nouveau kernel driver -> DRM/DRI -> Mesa (nouveau) -> games/apps.
  • Intel GMA950: i915 kernel driver -> DRM/DRI -> Mesa (i945) -> games/apps.


AMD driver name indicates the first generation of HW that each driver supports

  • r300 supports 3xx, 4xx, 5xx
  • r600 supports 6xx through NI
  • radeonsi supports SI, CI, VI and Polaris




Unless your computer uses a Firewire chipset manufactured by Texas Instruments, FireWire interfaces are likely to act buggy. AROS is unlikely to ever support FireWire.


Bluetooth is similarly unlikely to be ever supported due to huge cost to be certified.


No, x86 PCMCIA card.resource at the moment. Writing card.resource would be a similar amount of work to writing a typical driver. However, it might be complicated by having to support a variety of PCMCIA-controller chipsets like TI PCI1225, PCI1410, PCI1420, 1450, PCIxx12 and O2, etc. m68k card.resource does not really have many higher level functions, most functions are really simple or poke Gayle registers directly. only exception is CopyTuple(). Amiga card.resource has one significant flaw: it's single-unit. would need card.resource and pccard.library. There was talk in the past of designing a new API for PCMCIA because card.resource only supports one slot, but since most modern laptops only have one slot anyway, I think it might be worthwhile to implement card.resource as-is (at least as a first step). pccard.library would be trivial to port. So, a new API is needed.
