I was surprised to find a while back that Google's now ancient "Nexus 7" tablet is allegedly able to run a mainline Linux kernel!

Unfortunately the one I built and "flashed" to it never booted and I lack the soldering skills to build the modified headphone connector/serial TTL cable thing it needs, so it sits in my drawer unused

I really wish we could get to a better upstream ecosystem with ARM devices but it just never seems to happen

You don't need soldering skills, just by a jack with screws.

Is the headphone/serial cable the same as those used on Pine64 products ? You may be able to buy one for fairly low cost.
