      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:

      I found some old mirror and will test this:

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