title: Hardware Compatibility List (HCL)
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
===========================================================
|
|
|
|
The [HCL](/hcl) is a compilation of reports generated and submitted by users across various Qubes versions about their hardware's compatibility with Qubes.
|
|
|
|
**Note:**
|
|
Except in the case of developer-reported entries, the Qubes team has not independently verified the accuracy of these reports.
|
|
Please first consult the data sheets (CPU, chipset, motherboard) prior to buying new hardware for Qubes.
|
|
Make sure it meets the [System Requirements](/doc/system-requirements/) and search in particular for 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 Platform Module (TPM)" connected to a "20-pin TPM header" on motherboards.)
|
|
|
|
If using the list to make a purchasing decision, we recommend that you choose hardware with:
|
|
|
|
- the best achievable Qubes security level (green columns in HVM, IOMMU, TPM)
|
|
- and general machine compatibility (green columns in Qubes version, dom0 kernel, remarks).
|
|
|
|
Also see [Certified Hardware](/doc/certified-hardware/) and [Hardware Testing](/doc/hardware-testing/).

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.)
|
|
|
|
You are encouraged to submit your HCL report for the benefit of further Qubes development and other users.
|
|
When submitting reports, test the hardware yourself, if possible.
|
|
If you would like to submit your HCL report, please send the **HCL Info** `.yml` file to [\`qubes-users@googlegroups.com\`](/support/#qubes-users) with the subject `HCL - <your machine model name>`. Alternatively you can also create a post in the [HCL Reports category](https://qubes-os.discourse.group/c/user-support/hcl-reports/23) of the forum.
|
|
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.).
|
|
Please consider sending the **HCL Support Files** `.cpio.gz` file as well. To generate these add the `-s` or `--support` command line option.
|
|
|
|
**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.
