Device Incompatibility List

Question

Here goes my first question ....

Is there are well maintained list or chart of devices/brands that have known incompatibilities with raspberry pi either in software (generally fixable or can be worked around) or in hardware (generally harder) ? I dont mind including poor performance issues as well

I know there is a list of compatible devices over here but my question deals with ones that are not covered in the list and are known to have issues.

Specifically I am looking for devices under

• Storage - SD / Micro SD, NAS
• USB devices -
• Networking - wifi/bluetooth/ethernet adapters,
• Power Supplies, UPS
• GPIO/SPI/USART/I2C - TFT screens, ADC boards, Temperature/Pressure/Humidity Sensors, Bar Code Scanners
• Cameras
• Audio In/Out
• Displays - specific screens/displays with quirks

Answer 1

The best I know is http://elinux.org/RPi_VerifiedPeripherals which you mention.

I doubt such a list as you want will exist.
