Hello Bob,
I am using/helping to develop the APC + Firefox OS system. I don't
think that there is a forum for users, but I will suggest that to one of
the people in the actual company.
To install a customized build of Firefox OS, you would stick the image
on a micro-sd card, and insert that into the APC while running. You can
then restart the system and it should install. Note that you may want to
stick with the https://github.com/apc-io/apc-firefox-os/ code as that is
optimized for the system.
The mac address issue is known, and is in the release roadmap.
Cheers, and thank you for the post!

Is anyone else working with the APC Rock?
http://apc.io/products/rock/ This is a small single-board computer with a
VIA Arm chip and all the usual I/O. But it runs Firefox OS natively.
I've written a post about it:
http://firefoxosgaming.blogspot.com/2014/01/apc-rock-hardware-review.html.
I can:
1. Download apps from the store.
2. That's about it.
I can't:
1. Install my own apps. The Simulator says it is connected but I can't
Push and I can't see the APC Rock memory in File Manager. I'm running
64-bit Windows 7.
2. Use the VGA out.
The OS version is 1.1.0.0 - prerelease. The Platform version is 18.1.
I can't get any MAC address so I can only connect to WiFi to systems that
don't need a MAC address.
Is there any forum for APC Rock / Firefox OS users?
What I'm really looking for is some way to download binaries to a SD card
that I can boot and upgrade to a newer version.
This is potentially cool but I've not seen much about it. I bought it
direct from VIA APC for $59 and it arrived very quickly from Taiwan. It
works, it boots, it works. I think this could be an amazing device for
third-world countries, a great companion to the phone and tablet.
Any help appreciated.
