What hardware is supported?

As a newcomer to Pi-Star, I'm looking for a definitive list of hardware that is supported. I've seen references to DVMega but is that the only hardware that's supported?
Sounds like a good topic for an FAQ is one doesn't already exist.

Excellent information. Thanks.

This would be a good FAQ topic IMO.

I realize this is an old thread, but does anyone know if iBluestack/DVMega is supported on Pi-star? This device is identical to BlueStack/DVMEGA combo but used with iPhone.

If like it's brother you can push the button and change to acept usb tethering I would believe so.
Another option might be removing the dvmega from the Bluetooth board and seating it directly to a rasp pi gpio pins.

Tnx Andrew for suggestions. Am familiar with “button in/out” ... doesn’t seem to work like Android version. I recall there being significant differences between the two versions that led to the later release of the iBluestack.

Think I will do what you suggest regarding lifting the DVMega and putting it on a RPi. Facts are I have seldom used the iBluestack. Maybe look for a better owner that will use it.
