Board Gallery & Known Hardware Revisions
There are several major hardware variants in the MSM8916 wingle ecosystem. Use this gallery to determine your board’s capabilities and recommendations.
UFI003 Dongle (ufi003)
Recommended| Flash Type | eMMC ✅ |
| RAM & Storage | 1 GB LPDDR3 (or 512 MB) RAM / 8 GB eMMC 5.0 (or 4 GB) Storage |
| Wi-Fi Chipset | WCN3620 (2.4 GHz 802.11n) |
| EDL Test Point | Dual pads adjacent to the SIM slot (pull to GND) |
The gold standard for OpenStick hacking. Models equipped with 1GB RAM and 8GB eMMC provide ample headroom for running Docker, Tailscale, Python automation, and lightweight web servers without running out of memory.
UFI001B / UFI001C (ufi001b)
Supported| Flash Type | eMMC ✅ |
| RAM & Storage | 512 MB LPDDR3 RAM / 4 GB eMMC Storage |
| Wi-Fi Chipset | WCN3620 (2.4 GHz 802.11n) |
| EDL Test Point | Test pad labeled 'BOOT' or dual unpopulated SMD pads |
The most ubiquitous and widely available board family. Solid reliability with mainline Linux, Debian, and OpenWrt. With 512MB RAM, lightweight distributions like postmarketOS or OpenWrt run exceptionally well.
UZ801 Wingle (uz801)
Supported| Flash Type | eMMC ✅ |
| RAM & Storage | 512 MB LPDDR3 RAM / 4 GB eMMC Storage |
| Wi-Fi Chipset | WCN3620 |
| EDL Test Point | Clear circular test points on rear of PCB |
Distinguished by clearly marked silkscreen test points and easily accessible UART pads. Popular among hobbyists who enjoy soldering custom serial cables and external antenna connectors.
Zhihe (Generic Wingle with NAND) (zhihe-nand)
Avoid| Flash Type | NAND ⚠️ (NAND has limited mainline support) |
| RAM & Storage | 256 MB or 512 MB RAM / 512 MB SPI-NAND / SLC NAND Storage |
| Wi-Fi Chipset | Varies (WCN3620 or RTL8188) |
| EDL Test Point | Short CLK pin of NAND chip during insertion |
Cost-reduced clones that replace high-speed eMMC with cheap NAND flash. Mainline Linux kernel support is extremely limited or unsupported. Not recommended for new purchases.
