Thanks for using KuroBox Pro! I made the device-tree patch (upstreamed) and get it supported by flash-kernel. Now Ryan Tandy (in CC) and me are co-maintaining micro-evtd. Latest update is to support kernel 4.8 (Bug #845559). It need 10 day to hit stretch/testing.

I also started a thread to discuss armel support after Stretch [0][1]. It seems feasible technically.
