Start: 2013/08/13 7:30 pm
End: 2013/08/13 ~9:00 pm
Speaker: Michael Tucker
Location: O'Reilly Media

This talk will cover a introduction of mini-computing at home using
Linux. Topics covered will include Rikomagic's MK802 and MK802II based
on the All-winner A10 Chip set and Android operating system. There will
be a brief introduction to the Dalvik VM, an overview of Hardware
specifications, comparisons of similar devices, as well as a
demonstration of stock and custom images. Recently restricted releases
of Chromecast by Google have prompted a  revisit to hardware that is
Linux-friendly and ships with access to root. Active participation for
this talk is encouraged, so if you have similar devices do not hesitate
to bring as a HDTV will be available for demonstration.
