December 2025 Open Source Hardware Certification Roundup
Check out three newly certified projects we love.
The Open Source Hardware Association (OSHWA) runs a free program that allows creators to certify that their hardware complies with the community definition of open source hardware. Whenever you see the certification logo, you know that the certified hardware meets this standard.
Currently the Certification database lists over 3,200 individual certifications! In December we added 11 new certifications, from CPC machines to desktop computers and everything in between. We were happy to have new and recurring names show up!
OpenCPC IUD US002791
Continuing the trend around Healthware projects joining the certification database in various forms the OpenCPC is a scientific instrument for measuring air quality. This CPC device has been made specifically to reduce costs and complexity to provide more access to ultrafine particle measurements. This allows for real-time detection including the critical ultrafine region that most optical sensors miss.
piBrick Piocket-CM5 UID ID000014
Don’t let the keyboard logo fool you, this here is a smartphone-sized handheld PC! The piBrick Pocket-CM5 is powered by Raspberry Pi and provides compact Linux computing for anyone who is looking for a little mobility with their system. It can also be connected to a full desktop setup and utilized as a computer that way. Great for engineers, sysadmins, hackers, or anyone looing to experiment a little bit.
Thelio Mira UID US002790
System76 is a frequent certifier and we love to see them come up again and again. Their Thelio Mira is a higher performance grade of their flagship desktop computer. This setup is equipped with an AMD Ryzen processor, up to 128GB RAM, and can handle basically anything you could possibly want your desktop to do (and more). If you’re looking for an upgrade that’s fully open source, System76 might be the perfect spot for you.
