rkdebian lets you boot full Debian 12 on an inexpensive RK3562 Android tablet from an SD card without modifying internal storage, turning it into a Linux workstation with GPU acceleration and NPU LLM support. Its reverse engineering of undocumented hardware and integration of local AI inference on a $80 device is highly innovative.
