Title: mini androird TV boxes $10
Post by: vinceASPECT on December 03, 2025, 10:57:39 AM
Hello,

is there any interest in running TINYCORE on those  $10 new mini android tv boxes ?

i know you can just use the native Android it comes with and load a free app that gives you a Linux desktop....... e.g.  "nomone VR linux"
 

i also know there are already  LInux versions for the boxes like "miniARCH" and "Armbian"...........

but  i just wondered if Tinycore was interested in supporting any of the boxes.........allwinner, Rockchip , Amlogic........socs

thx
C

Sorry forum

Incase I forgot to mention you do normally get1 gig of Ram
And 8 or 16 gigs of onboard tv box storage

They are very good value little computers

I believe too that simple overclocking will be possible
If you increase cooling.... And also making a 3 gig Linux swap
File will help distros like "miniARCH"

 I also thought it worth mentioning for Pi owners that free"RetroPIE"
Allows you to click on PORTS and it will prompt you
To load a desktop and you quickly get the "Raspnerry pi os" desktop.
