Dual boot Android/Linux on Intel Cherry Trail SOC

[vcoleiro1]

Thought this article was interesting. There are a ton of dual boot devices with Intel SOCs that dual boot Windows and Android. But this is the first time I've seen Dual boot of Linux and Android on an Intel Cherry Trail SOC device. Seems interesting, particularly the video Charbax took showing Android and Linux running at the same time

Ah, interesting. I'd read about that before, I think, but I hadn't realised it's not actually dual booting. It's more like a DOSBox or Parallels situation where both are running at the same time. I do wonder which init process is actually at pid 1 though.

And I wish that video maker typed 'uname -a' into a cli. Though I suppose with only one microUSB port and no other expansion, the benefits from running a 3.x or 4.x kernel are minimised.
