Linux on the MK802 Android Mini PC

[xepra]

Hi all,

I've recently purchased an MK802IV Quad core mini PC from Rikomagic South Africa about 2 weeks ago, and have been trying to get linux loaded onto the device. I believe the source code for this was only released earlier this month, but I'm having issues compiling this on my Ubuntu 13.04 Ringtail installation.

Was wondering if anyone else might be trying to do the same?

What exactly is the problem?
Are you trying to flash the device with Ubuntu? Are you trying to emulate/sideload Ubuntu?

That mini PC uses an ARM processor, so search Ubuntu Forums for installing/compiling/etc. Ubuntu for an ARM device.

Have you contacted the people on the this forum:

Thanks for the pompt response MyWorld, much appreciated. The thread above is for the MK802III, which makes of the the RK3066 chipset, I've been following the development of the custom linux kernel being developed around the MK802IV quad core, which has a SoC RK3188 here http://www.rikomagic.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=13&t=4696

My issue is that I've configured a cross compiler environment on my existing 64 bit Ubuntu workstation, but keep bumping into weird errors on compilation. I was curious to know if there where any local south africans who make use of the product, and/or where having similar issues
