I have the Boox Max which is pretty much the same platform, and whatever effort was spent into this would apply to all their recent devices as well.
I was thinking to approach this from another direction: use the kernel as it is, replace the android init with busybox init or whatever, and build up from there and see what can be achieved.
Did you figure out where the boot process could be intercepted from uboot to the kernel to be able to set up dual boot? Without fear of bricking? 
Any results for you? I asked them too, they answered back nicely, they mentioned github, but I'm not sure yet what their position is with regards to the code. If they don't want to be nice I'll remind them of the GPL, and if needed I'll talk to the vendor, which is from Germany, and that's a country known for enforcing the GPL. |
Nice to see someone interested in this! I gently don't have much time, and also not so much expertise but is also be interested in this (as well as the possibility of maybe building custom ROMs for onyx devices). If you have news regarding the sources, I'll be interested to hear about it!
