Thanks Hi

Anyone knows if it’s possible to install an Operating System like ubuntu (linux) or Windows and a basic howto, just like if it were a typical computer?

Thanks

Since this is purely a license issue I would like to see if anyone was able to hack the DTS decode feature into the A-100 firmware.

I'm thinking of bringing it up at http://gpl-violations.org/ but I'll probably at least attempt some polite inquiries on the syabas forums first. Here’s another analysis of the syabas firmware:
