Hi Carlos,
I'm developing an industrial application for a client using APC Rock.
I'm using Android, so I can confirm that linux runs on it and you can
find kernel and uboot here:
https://github.com/apc-io/apc-rock
I never tried a "standard" linux ditributions, so I can't tell about it,
but I fear the VIA support against linux is absent.
I suggest you look at some better supported board.

Thanks so much, Ivan.
It's really helpful to have such a warn before wanting to purchase one
of those and make my life trickier, most of all when surely I would
try to put Musix inside that would have some driver problems (it's
100% free/libre based on Debian).
I liked the book-style one, but now maybe I'll go some other way.
Regards.
Hi Carlos,
I fear you can't put musix on any ARM board. Pay attention to the arch
when you download an iso.
I can't find any musix ARM version in the musix mirrors.
Yes, I know, I'm part of Musix team ;). But I think I could copy the
main differential things of Musix in a Debian ARM.
Of course you can start from a debian (or other supported distro) and
then add the programs that you want.
If a packet is absent in arm repo, you can of course compile yourself.
So, consider all that said when you plan to buy a board and download
software for it.
Good advices.
Now I have a beaglebone black on my desk. I haven't found spare time to
test it, but next days I hope to try the debian for BBB.
Here some references:
http://beagleboard.org/Products/BeagleBone+Black
http://elinux.org/Beagleboard:Debian_On_BeagleBone_Black
Our dear co-lister here, Jeremy Jongepier (
http://autostatic.com/) , I
think he wrote a post about Beagleboard on his blog time ago. He is
very active trying this kind of mini-PCs. I think it gave him some
headaches.
I have no idea about debian repo for arm, I don't
know if all packages
that I found in my amd64 repo are present in arm repository.
Or I could be for the Ubuntu way (I dislike a bit, but here the UBUNTU
ARM wiki page:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ARM)
I will report you when I completed some test, if you want.
It would be great!
Cheers!
Ivan
Thanks, Ivan.
