I use usb TTL serial cable. As long as you use the sdcardmaker and the uboot_MX.bin from geniatech it will work. It took me a long time to find this out.
Thankfully, I didn't have to go that route! I could not revert to Geniatech Android though. I thought I'd bricked it but the Geniatech Linux/XBMC would successfully install with a bootable SD card.
I found the XDA Linux/Android ran very well, but the only real advantage was the 'suspend mode' tied to the power button.
I think the power button should just suspend the HDMI video so that an HDMI smart switch can revert to a TV satellite or cable box. When you hit the power button again, XBMC would be where you left it.
Both Linux/XBMC versions run much better than the Android versions I've tried. Thanks again for opening the door to these distributions with your clear instructions and help on this thread,
