SPIRIT is an open-source smartphone hardware project built around the Raspberry Pi Compute Module 5, with KiCad PCB designs and schematics released publicly. It aims to be a repairable, privacy-focused phone made from available off-the-shelf components, currently in active development.

Use cases

  • build your own open source smartphone
  • privacy-focused phone with hardware kill switches
  • repairable smartphone alternative to proprietary phones
  • learn smartphone electronics design with KiCad
  • DIY phone based on Raspberry Pi CM5
  • open hardware mobile device project

When to choose

  • you want a fully open, repairable smartphone you can build and modify yourself
  • you prioritize privacy controls and hardware switches over polish
  • you want to study or contribute to open-source mobile hardware design

When to avoid

  • you need a finished, production-ready phone for daily use today
  • you expect commercial warranty, app store, or cellular certification out of the box
  • you are not comfortable with DIY electronics assembly and development-stage software
