Linux on a RK3368 eReader
Hello! There is a new eReader on the market called Boyue Likebook Mars. It has the processor RK3368, so its a Octa-core with 2 Gb of RAM, and it seems very promising, but Boyue did a mess with the firmware, making it so limited. So maybe there is the oportunity to install linux there.

I searched and I found a project on github talking about this, but not on an eReader. Aparently there are some Android TV Boxes with the same specs, and they can install linux there. I can imagine it should not be so easy as to just install it on the eReader, but maybe more than the half of the work is done with this github project. (I can't write the adress because I am new here, but it's easy to find if you google "linux rk3368")

Can anyone who understand all this world better than me (not so hard to happen) explain me a little about this possibility? I think maybe the more problematic thing it would be the eInk display.

Thanks in advance to everyone

cpu_family(3alleg4)						  Allegro manual					       cpu_family(3alleg4)

NAME

       cpu_family - Contains the CPU type. Allegro game programming library.

SYNOPSIS

       #include <allegro.h>

       extern int cpu_family;

DESCRIPTION

       Contains the Intel type, where applicable. Allegro defines the following CPU family types:

	  CPU_FAMILY_UNKNOWN  - The type of processor is unknown
	  CPU_FAMILY_I386     - The processor is an Intel-compatible 386
	  CPU_FAMILY_I486     - The processor is an Intel-compatible 486
	  CPU_FAMILY_I586     - The processor is a Pentium or equivalent
	  CPU_FAMILY_I686     - The processor is a Pentium Pro, II, III
				or equivalent
	  CPU_FAMILY_ITANIUM  - The processor is an Itanium processor
	  CPU_FAMILY_POWERPC  - The processor is a PowerPC processor
	  CPU_FAMILY_EXTENDED - The processor type needs to be read
				from the cpu_model

       You can read this variable after you have called check_cpu() (which is automatically called by allegro_init()).
