        Hi All,

        Looking for advice porting a base version of an OS to this device.

        There are already many pre-built ubuntu images with retro game interfaces, but this device would also work well as a stand alone media player, or minimal linux and/or android device with 3-4 apps installed.

        Seems most of the supported devices here are phones and tablets, and this device has a Rockchip RK3326 Arm based chip. So this device is kinda stuck not being a phone, tablet, raspberryPi or full blown sbc.

        Ideally, utilizing the 2 sd cards slots you could bootloader for a game os, media player os, or a minimal desktop, then keep games, music, video, docs, on the 2nd sd card.

        This device comes with a wifi dongle, but nothing built in. So not looking to surf the web or check email on this. Most use cases would be offline.

        Thanks

          @sploochy could you maybe say how you feel Ubuntu Touch would be a better fit for your use awe than a cloud.init install or even a snap based install of Ubuntu (assuming that exists for this hardware), which you could then customize to your liking?

            @arubislander Having trouble finding anything that will run on this device besides retro game launchers. The screen is not touch, but navigation via the controllers would be fine.

            Found this retro game version of android here.
            https://droix.co.uk/knowledge-base/article/how-to-install-android-11-351droid-on-your-rg351p/

            But it doesn't run well. So hoping to start with something vanilla and build up, even if it's an older version since this will be mostly offline use.

            So yes, I need a installer or way to build this with a decent noob documentation.
            Thanks

              Maybe you should try to make a normal Ubuntu, not Touch, on it since there is already some working builds of it.

              Touch is a particular OS for mobile devices.
