FAQ
What is the longevity and supply plan for Genio 350?
MediaTek provides long-term availability for the Genio 350 to meet industrial and embedded application requirements. The Genio 350 SoC was initially released in Q2/2020 and has a standard product lifecycle of 10 years, with an expected end date in 2030.
Which operating systems are supported by Genio 350?
Genio 350 is officially supported with Android and Yocto from MediaTek. Support for Ubuntu and AOSP is provided through our partners.
Are all hardware features of Genio 350 supported under every OS?
No. The level of hardware feature support depends on the specific operating system, software stack, and frameworks in use. Please confirm the details of the OS in use.
Are Genio 350 kernel drivers upstreamed to mainline Linux?
Many Genio 350 drivers are continuously upstreamed through cooperation with partners and the open-source community. Mainline Linux boots successfully and Kernel CI is used for ongoing integrity validation.
Are there any important Genio 350 kernel drivers that cannot be upstreamed?
Yes. Some drivers cannot be upstreamed.
- Video (stateful) drivers: These rely on a userspace driver (VPUD) and will not be upstreamed.
- ISP drivers: These are MediaTek proprietary driver and will not be upstreamed.
- GPU drivers: These are third-party IP and will not be upstreamed by MediaTek.
What is the MT7663 wireless support status on Genio 350 across different OSes?
On Genio 350, the MT7663 module is officially supported only on Android with proprietary drivers and firmware. Community upstream drivers/firmware are not officially supported on Yocto, Ubuntu, or AOSP.
What is the difference between using MT6631 and MT7663 on Genio 350 with Android?
Genio 350 supports Android for both MT6631 (for Wi-Fi 5 1x1 + Bluetooth 5) using internal baseband or MT7663 (for Wi-Fi 5 2x2 + Bluetooth via discrete module). Neither module is officially supported on Yocto, Ubuntu, or AOSP. On-chip wireless baseband can interface with MT6631 RF for standard connectivity.
Does Genio 350 support industrial temperature operation?
No. Genio 350 does not support industrial-grade operating temperature. The supported ambient temperature range is -20°C to 65°C (Ta).
Does Genio 350 support RSA3072 secure boot?
Yes. Genio 350 Boot ROM (Root of Trust) supports up to the RSA3072 algorithm. Android currently supports the RSA2048 secure boot, while Yocto, Ubuntu, and AOSP support the RSA3072 secure boot.
Do all operating systems (Android, Yocto, Ubuntu, AOSP) enable all SoC capabilities?
No, each operating system and release version has a different level of hardware feature enablement. Please refer to the Android and Yocto release notes from MediaTek, or contact the respective open source OS providers (Canonical for Ubuntu, BayLibre for AOSP) to learn the latest software enablement status for the SoC’s hardware capabilities.
