This means that you may be able to use a chroot or you can try booting debian armel with the kernel provided on the system but not use a full debian armel (kernel+userspace and maybe uboot). Expect also some troubles if it requires proprietary drivers to work. I can't say more as the way to do it and troubles you'll get into are system specifics. > > Connectivity: > > 2 x USB host > 1 x RJ45 Ethernet (100 MHz) > Mini HDMI 1.3 out > 3.5 mm audio out > > Full specs: > > http://www.yarvik.com/en/products/tablets/tablets_10/TAB410/ > > I think the hardware of this tablet can also be used as a server or > desktop computer.

For that price, to make a server, I would rather buy a loco board or any other development board rather than relying on hardware with a SoC without manual and support in mainline kernel. For desktop, things may be more complicated as most gpu on arm SoC are relying on proprietary drivers for 2d/3d. Arnaud -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
