You'll probably want to check another forum for rooting / flashing your
device.  You'll want to look at the chip's datasheet.  It does serial
packaging from the *hardware* end, i.e., playing with an arduino you'll see
an rs232 interface, but on the computer's end you'll be getting a usb
interface and the driver you install provides com port emulation on windows.
 If you want to use it on android, you might need to reverse engineer the
driver and provide a library that uses the 3.1 calls.

The data sheet is here:

Looks like their drivers may be open source too?  I found them distributed
in binary form on the website, however, it says they're included with the
kernel.  You can probably find out the specifics from there (endpoint,
etc...) and might be able to make some headway.
