        In the GOD(™) I was used to use in my BQ E4.5 a complete system, based on the tar archive vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz After untaring this, one could just say

        tar tzf vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz | more
        bin/
        bin/login
        bin/tailf
        bin/umount
        bin/systemd-notify
        bin/netcat
        ...
        
        mkdir myRoot
        cd myRoot
        sudo tar xzf ../vivid-preinstalled-touch-armhf.tar.gz
        sudo chroot myRoot
        ...
        

        and do there inside the device normal Linux development, or even use applications compiled there from outside the myRoot by launching

        ~/myRoot/usr/sbin/tcpdump
        

        Well, now with 16.04-OTA5 xenial, do we have some similar tar-archive? The place from where the vivid system was fetched is empty for xenial:

        http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/ubuntu-touch/xenial/

        I found some old mirror and will test this:

          You can get the UBports rootfs from http://cdimage.ubports.com/rootfs/ I think.
