Why are they releasing something with Android 7 in 2019?
Running Android and OpenWrt at the same time?
I’m wondering if that is correct (and if it is how it is done, unless of course there are multiple processors).
I’m unaware of openwrt running on top of android or android running on top of openwrt. Of course virtualisation could be the answer, but that is probably not nice wrt performance.
I think OpenWrt runs in a chroot, so both Android and OpenWrt share the same Linux kernel.
It is not the first TV box running OpenWRT and Android at the same time. Not a bad device, but I want an Android free device. I’ve had it with Android TV boxes, but people still want Android for some reason. I can say in 2019 that Android is not usable for a TV box (in my opinion, after using a Q10 Pro for 2 years).
