Hi All!<br>
<br>
I am starting this thread because I have just purchased a Mele A1000 and would like to install GNU/Linux distributions on it but need some help.<br>
<br>
My main sources of support for now are<br>
- <a href="http://rhombus-tech.net/allwinner_a10/hacking_the_mele_a1000/" target="_blank">http://rhombus-tech.net/<u></u>allwinner_a10/hacking_the_<u></u>mele_a1000/</a><br>
- Tom whom I do not wish to flood with email, especially when I feel this could be useful for others<br>
<br>
I am very inexperienced in hacking ARM devices but the Mele looks reasonably easy so I would like to do it with some help and in return, write an *ultra beginner guide* for it.<br>
<br>
So let's see if this will fly, I am blocked at the very beginning: an UART to serial, or as I understand, UART to serial to USB cable is required, is this what I should purchase?<br>

<br></div><div>I think this one should be ok. If you need i can send you a ttl to usb cable, could you send me your</div><div>address, so i can send you the cable?</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">

Same question to connect the internal USB to external computer, except that for this one, I do not even have a link as I have no idea how it is called.<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Connecting the internal usb is optional, if you want to use adb over usb, you can use adb over network instead.</div>

Last, if anyone is willing to play or see the box in Beijing, please contact me<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
