        Hi,

        as the BQ M10 tablets are quite hard to come by:
        has anyone tried to run the BQ10 port on a different tablet with the same MT8163B chipset?

        Cheers

          I don't think it would work, devices need to be exactly the same (not only processor, but also modem, usb hardware, wifi.... etc...).
          So only way is porting, not just using same "distro".

            It would probably be possible if most of the components are part of the SOC (wifi, modem, bluetooth ...). Even so, it will be necessary to fine-tune the rest, which is not part of the SOC in principle (camera, sensors ...).
