This is a fundamental feature of the arm architecture, you need an
image for each device. Just as when you go to the cyanogenmod page,
different images for every and other vendor and model of phones, and
of course nothing near to complete, there are a lot of devices which
don't have an image to flash.

For me, it is a miracle there are several devices with officially
supported images of ubuntu-touch.
