This is a continuation of my previous thread here.
My basic plan is to install some form of linux, most likely puppy linux, and then use that to connect to the printer. I will then install chromium and then use the share printers function to link them to my google account.
So I have two of the MK-802s in hand and now I'm trying to figure out how to get linux on them. I have heard that both Lubuntu and Puppy Linux should work on these things and I have tried both by burning the iso to a micro sd card, but both times it just booted up into the normal android 4.0 OS.
You said you used an ISO, could it have been a standard x86 boot ISO, instead of one for MK-802 architecture? I don’t have one yet, but I’ve been thinking of getting one to play with. I’m subscribing to see how you do with it.
The author of that page said that he had to dink with his a bit… removing and re-inserting the micro SD card, power cycling the MK-802, etc. before it successfully booted into Ubuntu. Odd.
OK this should work. Run Puppy on another machine and then use the installer it has in it. There is an option for all sorts of media. Install it to what you want. Doing that will make that media bootable. If that doesn’t work then someone on this forum will be able to help.
BTW, I love Puppy and it is on, and bootable from, my EDC pendrive.
