It should be straightforward to set up Debian in a chroot on the
device, since it's already been rooted:

Replacing the stock firmware with Debian should also be possible, but
I'd suggest only trying this if you there is a serial and/or JTAG port
on the board, so you can recover if (when!) you brick it. I couldn't
find out with a cursory search, but even opening up the case looks
fairly painful:
