I'm not talking full control of all functions, I just mean putting an image into an sdcard partition and being able to boot it from Android and use it. Hopefully be able to build at least some ports on it.
OK, I'm new here. I've had a Raspberry Pi for maybe 2 years, run Debian on it but I've played with FreeBSD on there. I've been running OpenBSD on i386 machines since about 2001. A few weeks ago I got an Android phone (my first), added a 64 gig sdcard, installed Debian. Frankly between Android and Debian I'm getting sick of the bloatware. 20 years ago I was plinking around teaching myself i386 assembly language and writing programs that were under 100 bytes. Android Studio is almost a 1 gig download and they recommend 4 gigs of RAM to run it. This Debian doesn't even have direct access to the hardware, you communicate with it by ssh and vnc. Can there be X video drivers, a way to attach gpsd to the GPS hardware, use the Android keyboard, connect to the WiFi, bluetooth, USB, camera, and sensors? I'm not sure what I want but I feel like I don't have access to the hardware I own. An OpenBSD dmesg would be a good start. Alan Corey -- Credit is the root of all evil. - AB1JX
