    See if there's a port of postmarketos for your phone, if so there's probably a decent guide

        Yeah, whatever CPU that thing's packing may not actually be able to run standard Linux. It's probably running an RTOS similar to vxWorks or FreeRTOS.

        If you really want to hack on this thing you'll have to find a JTAG header somewhere on the motherboard and/or try dumping a ROM image to see what it's actually running.

        ETA: Looks like MMU-less configurations were added to the mainline Linux kernel a while back so it might be possible to compile a custom kernel for it if you can figure out what CPU it has - good luck getting the rest of the devices to work though.

        Edit 2: Actually there's a decent chance it's running LiMo, but good luck hacking on that.

    I just checked the samsung opensource repo and this device doesn't seem to have an entry. If it ran any form of android, I was gonna say you could possibly port postmarket yourself using an official samsung linux kernel.
