Feature Support Matrix

Feature Support Matrix

General

This document lists all OpenSync features across all OpenSync releases. Each newer OpenSync release holds all features introduced in that release and all prior releases (Example is OS 2.0 holds OS 2.0, OS 1.4, OS 1.2, …).

The OpenSync feature support matrix uses the below explained columns. The first three columns detail the OpenSync feature structure, while the last three columns include information about hardware support and documentation.

Column name

Explanation

Column name

Explanation

OpenSync Category

Core OpenSync categories. These categories enclose functional families of feature groups. The only exception are 3rd Party features — these are the features that may belong to different functional families, but are developed by the third-party partner companies.

OpenSync Group

Features within a category grouped by their purpose.

Summary

Official OpenSync feature name.

SDK columns (Qualcomm, Broadcom, OpenWrt, …)

SDK version indicates the platform a feature has been deployed and stabilized on. An empty SDK field indicates a feature is not supported on that specific platform. Supporting other SDK variants may require additional code changes and verification.

Public docs

Design page, specific requirements document, or a general overview document that describes the feature in detail.

Remark

Remarks about current feature status and exceptions. These remarks apply to the current feature status for the specific OpenSync version:

  • Alpha: firmware development stage is complete

  • Beta: firmware and controller development stages are complete

  • Empty: feature has been validated end-to-end and is GA
