Hello,
it works on 43IT but I can’t manage to connect it as a storage device. The popup for the connection doesn’t “pop up”
Any particular config or patch for that ?
No idea, sorry.
The best thing is probably to ask OpenAOS guys directly. Most direct way to contact would be IRC chat: http://www.openaos.org/chat

Will this work on an Arnova 10???
It’s specific to Archos Gen8 devices, based on TI OMAP 3 CPU.
It won’t work on Arnova machines, which are all based on Rockchip cpus.
