Open-source computing hardware comprises computers and computer components with an open design. They are designed as open-source hardware using open-source principles.
Partially open-source hardware
Hardware that uses closed source components
Computers
Single-board computers

Routers
- Turris 1.0 and Turris 1.1, two Power Architecture-based routers designed in the Czech republic[4]
Notebook computers
- Novena, a notebook computer that uses a 1.2 GHz quad-core Freescale processor closely coupled with a Xilinx FPGA[5][6][7][8]
- VIA OpenBook, a netbook case design released by VIA Technologies
Handhelds, palmtops, and smartphones
- Ben NanoNote, a palmtop PC based on the MIPS architecture
- Openmoko, a smartphone containing a single-board computer equipped with a GSM/UMTS modem
- Simputer, a handheld computer released in 2002
Fully open-source hardware
Hardware that has no closed source dependencies
- Arduino — an open-source physical computing platform based on a simple I/O board and a development environment that implements the open source Processing / Wiring language. Also clones of this platform including Freeduino.
- Tinkerforge — a platform comprising stackable microcontrollers for interfacing with sensors and other I/O devices.
Components
- Ethernut, embedded Ethernet adapters
- IOIO, a board that allows Android applications to interface with external electronics
- PLAICE, a device that combines a flash memory programmer, in-circuit emulation, and a multichannel logic analyzer. It runs uClinux.
- Tinkerforge, a platform comprising stackable microcontrollers for interfacing with sensors and other I/O devices
- Twibrigh RONJA, a 10 Mbit/s full duplex FSO wireless optical network adapter from 2001[9]
CPUs
- Amber is an ARM-compatible 32-bit RISC processor. Amber implements the ARMv2 instruction set.
- LEON, a 32-bit, SPARC-like CPU created by the European Space Agency
- OpenSPARC, a series of open-source microprocessors based on the UltraSPARC T1 and UltraSPARC T2 multicore processor designs
- Parallax P8X32A Propeller is a multicore microcontroller with an emphasis on general-purpose use
- ZPU, a small, portable CPU core with a GCC toolchain. It is designed to be compiled targeting FPGA[10]
