Hi all,
I know this is a bit of a long shot given the age of the hardware, but I’m wondering if anyone here has ever experimented with running Armbian on an EVPad 2S (the old Android TV box). I’ve been tinkering with some older devices and thought it might be interesting to see if this one can be repurposed.
I’ve attached a screenshot of the system info - unfortunately, it’s pretty sparse. The box is running Android 4.4.2 with kernel version 3.4.39, but the processor type is listed as “UNKNOWN,” and I haven’t found much documentation on the chipset or board layout.
so before I dive deeper I wanted to ask:
Has anyone managed to get Armbian (or any Linux distro) running on it?
Are there known limitations with the chipset or bootloader that make it a dead end?
Any tips, resources, or even “don’t bother” experiences would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance for any insights - sometimes these older boxes surprise us, but I realize support may be very limited.
