I wonder this can be used to port a normal Linux userspace to android tv's (which all seem to use mediatek)

Benjamin_Dobell on April 14, 2018 [–]

A lot of Android TVs run MStar (acquired by MediaTek) chipsets.

I've successfully (with some hacks) ported AOSP to one of these devices in the past.

Kernel source, and some associated flashing information can be found here: https://github.com/Benjamin-Dobell/kogan-tv-gpl
