Hardware Compatibility List (HCL) for All Qubes OS Releases
This list contains information about the latest stable release (R1) and the latest development release (R2rc1). You can also find information about the previous releases (R2B{1,2,3}) here.
Generating and Submitting New Reports
In order to generate an HCL report in Qubes, simply open a terminal in dom0 (KDE: start-menu -> System Tools -> Konsole or Terminal Emulator) and run qubes-hcl-report <vm-name>, where <vm-name> is the name of the VM to which the generated HCL files will be saved.
(Note: If you are working with a new Qubes installation, you may need to update your system in order to download this script.)
Users are encouraged to submit their HCL reports for the benefit of further Qubes development and other users. If you would like to submit your HCL report, please send the HCL Info .txt file to qubes-users@googlegroups.com (see here information about the mailing lists) with the subject HCL - <your machine model name>.
Please include any useful information about any Qubes features you may have tested (see the legend below), as well as general machine compatibility (video, networking, sleep, etc.).
If you have problems with your hardware, please send the HCL Support Files .cpio.gz file as well. And try a different kernel in the Troubleshooting menu.
Please note:
The HCL Support Files may contain numerous hardware details, including serial numbers. If, for privacy or security reasons, you do not wish to make this information public, please do not send the .cpio.gz file to the public mailing list.

Columns
Device
Manufacturer and Devicename (Socket/CPU, Chipset/Southbridge, Graphics)
BIOS version
Reported BIOS version
Intel VT-x or AMD-v technology (required for running HVM domains, such as Windows-based AppVMs)
Intel VT-d or AMD IOMMU technology (required for effective isolation of network VMs and PCI passthrough)
TPM with proper BIOS support (required for Anti Evil Maid)
Qubes version
Reported Qubes version (R=Release, rc=release candidate, B=Beta, i.e.: R1, R2B1, R2rc1)
Reported kernel version (numbers in uname -r), can be selected during installation and boot in Troubleshooting menu.
Remarks
Further information field. Qubes, dom0 and this field is coloured in conjunction to reflect general machine compatibility.
Reported by
Name linked to report in qubes-users.
Note: The HCL is a compilation of reports generated and submitted by users. Except in the case of developer-reported entries, the Qubes team has not independently verified the accuracy of these reports. If using the list to make a purchasing decision, we recommend that you first consult the datasheets (CPU, chipset, motherboard) for particular support of:
- HVM ("AMD virtualization (AMD-V)", "Intel virtualization (VT-x)", "VIA virtualization (VIA VT)")
- IOMMU ("AMD I/O Virtualization Technology (AMD-Vi)", "Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d)")
- TPM ("Trusted Plaform Module (TPM)" connected to a "20-pin TPM header" on motherboards.)
and test the hardware yourself, if possible. Try to shop for hardware with best achievable Qubes security level (green columns in HVM, IOMMU, TPM) and general machine compatibility (green columns in Qubes version, dom0 kernel, remarks).
