If I install linux on the X9S and the installation does not go according to plan, can I flash the box back to one of the X9S image Zidoo provided? Or I can only flash back with existing X9S image? I am looking for a cheap linux box on android that has SATA support, don't want a X86 platform that needs add-on memory on a motherboard, power supply, case....etc, etc and ends up costing several hundred bucks. This may be a secondary market opportunity for Zidoo if Zidoo can compile a linux image or sponsor someone to do so.
there is no linux for x9s, so unless you compile it yourself, there is not going to be one any time soon, or you can get a odroid and a usb3.0 to sata bridge board
Not yet interested to, but... https://www.cnx-software.com/2017/0...patchsets-for-initial-mainline-linux-support/ is this what you are looking for?
Thanks folks!!! I just stumbled across a wholesaler with the box ELEBAO R95Pro, it has dual boot Android 6.0 OS and Linux with a 3.5" HDD slot. https://suppliericious.com/wholesale/rtd1295-dual-boot Not sure how one would go about ordering one.................
