I was pretty sure that all the android kernels were linux. Your right about things like device drivers and hardware not being GPL and meaning that you can't recompile a kernel from source. I would rather a fully rebuildable OS but a hardwired base OS that is linux rather than some small proprietary embedded kernel is a good second choice. On 01/27/2016 01:52 PM, Lennart Sorensen wrote:

Nice android box. Well at least you know it will boot and run linux. No, you know it will boot and run some android build. Maybe you can even get the source code to the kernel (although tons of these small media devices don't give a shit about GPL violations).
The question would be is it better to extend it with some custom apps or hack it to run a standard distribution?
For me the deal ends in 03days. :(
Has anybody used geekbuying?
