I have a generic android ARM9 video player box that I would like to try to run linux off of. From what I can tell it uses uboot. Is there a tutorial on how to boot ubuntu or another ARM flavor using this?

Hello,
I would like to know where I can get some info about installing Ubuntu / Debian 7 on my X86 tablet device.
Tablet uses an Intel Atom Z2560CPU.
If possible I would like any of the following possibilities:
Possibility one:
Run Android along with Debian (something like chroot)
Possibility two:
Erase Android from the device (currently installed) and make a fresh Debian install.
Possibility three:
Dual Boot with Debian and Android.
The hard part is that the tablet device doesn't have any kind of BIOS (at least one accessible to the user)!
I already tried multiple apps (to run Linux distro's) from the Play Store, but nothing seems to work.
Presently I have the machine with Android 4.0.4 rooted.
What do I need? Where can I find some documentation?
Thank you
It can also be some other Linux distro.
Thank you
Hi,
I am a Linux expert but a android beginner.
I want to create a linux bootable arm rom image by installing a running distro in qemu arm emulator or in a raspberry and from that image create a tablet bootable rom.
I know i will have tons of problems with bootloader and many of tablet hardware will not work.
Is this a good idea ? can someone point me to the references of the procedures to do that ?
Thanks in advance.
Hi
I am on Windows 10 ( 32-bits system) on an oldish Intel 2- Core 14-2120 3.30 GHZ 32-bits CPU. I want to virtualize a 2nd OS ( Windows 10) in order to switch between the two OS without having to reboot each time. Unfortunately all the Virtualization softwares I have looked into, are designed for 64-bits. I tried a few of them and I invariably get a message that I cannot install because a 64-bits platform is required.
I have been able to install only an older VMware app. ( v. 5 or so) It did go in. and I was able to create a VM box by following the instructions. However I hit a brick wall: when I try to install the CD from the optical drive, I do get the Windows Logo on the VB screen, but it stops there and I cannot install the virtual Windows 10. Why? How can I finalize the 3nd OS installation?
Thanks

VirtualBox is available as 32-bit edition, too.
It didn't help me
It would be helpful if you specified what virtualization applications you had used for this. I know for sure that there are virtualization apps that allow you to virtualize a 2nd OS (Windows 10) on 32-bit systems like yours. I suggest that you try using VMware 7 for this, as I have often used this piece of software myself, and I can say that this is the best virtualization software that I have tried for purposes similar to yours. I won't be able to test any other virtualization apps of this kind since I have a 64-bit operating system now, but I'm sure you will succeed.
Does anyone know of a way to boot an Android phone from an SD card or USB drive? I'd prefer not to root the device or do much modification, but I might if I have to. There's got to be a way, though!
The device that I'm trying to do it on is a ZTE Z5157V and I'd like to try to boot another OS, either Linux or another Android image. Any ideas?
Such capabilities are provided by TV Boxes and only selected software n.e.g. EmuELEC or CoreELEC. In phones it is not accepted, because they are used for something else.
Particularly, I'd like to boot Kali Linux. Their site has images for Android devices and also for ARM powered decides (I'm assuming this device has an ARM processor, but I didn't check).
It doesn't work like that, if you have ARM support you'll run on the phone. Kali Nethunter installs on android, not as a standalone system.
I was assuming nethunter was a bootable OS. So that clears that up.
How do these devices boot? What type of memory do they have? Are they partitioned, like one for the bootloader/recovery & one for the OS? Upon powering up, what software does the device access first?
