Well, the User's Manual shows a screenshot of "device settings" that identifies the kernel build.

But there might be anything at all inside the box -
I have 6 copies of the same User's Manual from as many different "original manufacturers".

And this is China after all -
It may advertise "Linux" and be (stolen) embedded XP.

I have found a dozen or so companies that need one.
And if they hire out at a rate of one bowl of rice a day, there might be some contracts available.
