Comet Extensions
How do extensions work?
The Comet has these 40 IO pins that can enable a lot more functionality than what's already onboard.
This part is all-magnetic, so you can simply snap your extension off and on and it is pretty tight too.
and... can I make my own extensions?
All our standard extensions are open-hardware.
We give you all the resources to build your own extensions and help you out too! Simply ask.

Mechanix OS
Our graphical shell designed for the Comet's unique form factor powered by the GPU.
Native apps
The Comet ships with essential native apps built with Flutter for buttery-smooth performance.
repo/mechanix-guiNow let's talk firmware
The Comet-M is powered by Linux, flavoured with our custom distro - Mechanix.
The bootloader, kernel and rootfs is open-source and you are welcome to customize.
Mecha 
open-source
We believe that only open-source software can drive computing further and we would like to play our part.
If it runs on Linux,
it runs on Comet
The Comet can run anything that's built for ARM, that's 67000+ packages in the Fedora's repositories.
Built by the community, one for all and all for one
The Comet is built for everyone, including every app, distribution and OS.
What could you build with the Comet?

For-profit and for-good, hand in hand
At Mecha, we are set on a course to build an open source and inclusive computing platform that inspires you to innovate and explore.
Longevity is not an afterthought for us. The Comet is designed to be repairable and moddable from the start.
* PCB source files will be published once the Comet enters mass-production
