This wiki aims to do document information relating to the hacking of consumer electronics, particularly for mobile computers, in an organized way. This includes information from operating systems available for devices, to technical details on quirks specific to various devices, and even to unlocking bootloaders, bypassing bootloader signature checks, and/or escalating to root privileges on the preinstalled operating system.

The name of this wiki is a backronym of SoC, which stands for system on a chip. This is because this wiki mainly aims to document devices that are based on systems on chips.

Although websites such as XDA Forums and The postmarketOS Wiki already serve a similar purpose, the first is forum rather than a wiki, and the second is focused on a specific operating system.
