======================================================== Ubuntu Certified Docking Stations Coverage for 22.04 LTS ======================================================== .. Version 0.2 Introduction ============ Although docking stations are currently out of scope of the general Ubuntu Desktop Certified Hardware programme at Canonical, we have an extension to the programme to enable and certify a particular docking station with an already Ubuntu certified system. This programme does not certify a particular docking station to work with all Ubuntu certified systems, nor will a docking station be tested and/or certified in isolation, but always as part of the certification of a full system. This document lists the coverage for certification of docking stations for Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS. This coverage will remain as it is for Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS through the life cycle of Ubuntu Desktop 22.04 LTS. .. include:: ../reuse/include.txt :start-after: .. :end-before: .. .. note:: At the time of this writing, only wired docks are supported. Wireless docking requires functionality that is not known to be supported by IHVs. .. note:: This also does not cover “smart” docks, i.e. docks that contain additional components (like graphics adapters, etc.). Main testing flow ================= Once the connected components like DP monitors, HDMI monitors, and ethernet cables have been plugged, they will remain plugged in throughout testing. However, for user-removable components such as USB drives or Thunderbolt storage devices, hotplugging functionality will be tested. The testing process will follow a flow similar to: 1. Plug all the components into the docking station 2. Unplug the storage when meet the storage test 3. Start storage testing(Insert, auto, remove) 4. Plug it back when finish the storage test .. .. include:: ../generated/dock-cert-full.rst ..
