It is necessary to download to the SD card (root) following files: To prepare for the installation, one needs an empty micro-SD card, at least some 2 GB or so. Main sources for the process were following: In this post I present the process I used since the guides were scattered around multiple posts. So I decided to go for it, and it turns out, the process was very easy with the already-rooted tablet! It had been possible for many years already, and significant development had happened until 2016 or so.

Some weeks ago I found out, that it is possible to install Linux on the tablet. It was nice, but still I didn't find much use for the tablet.
