Windows on ARM on a Smart Watch


⬅️ Go back Windows on ARM (ARM as defined by the cambridge dictionary, not the cambridge based firm) Last updated: 3/31/2025 - 10:57 PM UTC+2 EDIT 4/1/2025 - 10:20 PM UTC+2: This is/was serious, and is not a joke. This is UEFI on Pixel Watch 3 with ability to boot Windows and Linux.

Quad core sixty four bits ARM Cortex A53 cluster 2 whole GBs of DDR4X RAM 32GB of eMMC storage Adreno 702 Graphics (this thing even has raytracing!) A few days ago preparing to actually release this disaster, sorry again words slipped from my mouth, marvel of technology, I wanted to rebase it on the latest firmware available for the watch. Without wanting to spend more on this than I already did, I just took that kernel header, stripped all of its code, padded it to the right amount so its unmodified jump instruction reached the end of that file, and appended my uefi to it.
