Would it? IANAL, but AIUI the only GPL component is Linux on GPLv2 which requires providing code but not giving the ability to install it

Yes. GPLv2 specifically contains a clause that you must provide "scripts to control compilation and installation"

Source you can't compile or install onto the device wouldn't be very useful.
