Thanks Shamit, it is the .36 version at minimum that the devs are working on. The problem as I understand it is that nVIDIA also puts binary blobs in the releases. The stock Android SDK does not support such tablets. In addition, nVIDIA has moved on to the Ventana development platform from the Harmony one, on which the Adam and other tablets depend. Building toolchains aldo seems to be a challenge for ARM-based devices. nVIDIA says that actually the device manufacturer is supposed to provide support, and not them. Unfortunately for us, the actual manufacturer is some company named Malata, while Notion Ink, Viewsonic etc. are just rebranders with not much technical expertise, and who may not be in a position to negotiate with nVIDIA, let alone Google. Which is why we are scouting for help, and need people who need their way around the kernel. By the way, there is another effort on to port Ubuntu to the tablets (nVidia has put L4Tn the backburner too) on tabletroms and XDA, whuch needs more developers.
