Hello-
I have looked around and there was a quick response to whether or not the HDX Bone could be a target for a port, but I thought I'd more fully present the case.
The HDX Bone has the at its core the Telechips TCC8900 ("a system LSI for digital multimedia applications based on ARM1176JZF-S, an ARM's proprietary RISC CPU core") with the Mali 200 GPU onboard.
According to literature from Mali:
• The Mali-200 and Mali-400 MP GPUs support both the OpenGL ES 1.1 and
OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics standards.
Here's a link to Mali's open source drivers.
Here's a peak at the insides of the HDX Bone:

Here's the parts of note from the pcb:

Now I don't understand the NAND/DDR2 numbers too well, but that's how I understand the specs of those chips. Anyway, those are the actual chips/memory in the device as it shipped.
As for the dual boot part:
There is the "proprietary" VOIR (which I think is often written as V012, as well) - nmap detects the OS "with 100% accuracy" (fwiw) as Linux 2.6.9 - 2.6.28, and from examining the strings of some files recovered from the flash I can confirm that the VOIR is running linux 2.6.28 kernel.
The Android 1.6 bootup I can telnet into and see that it is running a linux 2.6.28 kernel too.
Anyway, what do you think? Possible? Worth pursuing? Abandon all hope?
Thanks,
wigout
