Hi,
I ordered a Samsung Galaxy Tab 4 7.0 (7 inch, wifi, no phone) with Android 4.4.2 ...and after finding that the sellers description, that it has a quadcomm snapdragon S400 Chipset is most
probably wrong (it seems, that this device is manufactured with a Marvell PXA1088 CPU only)
I think it was a wrong choice. So here my question regarding the choice of the "right"
tablet...
Background: (Beside many other things) I want to decode shortwave audio signals like
morse code with this device. So I need a working audio input (Line-In or Mic-In, a bare
microphone will only work in absolute silence...no go). For that I must compile applications
for that tablet. I am experienced in linux software development and embedded devices
(Beaglebone Black, Arietta G25, both ARM). So there must be a compiler for the CPU/chipset
(most probably LLVM or GCC variants).
I want to install a vanilla Linux
(chrooted or natively) on that device (Gentoo, Mint or whatever will be available for that device).
I will try to make thar Linux as "bare" as possible.
I will not use the device for playing heavy 3D-games.
But it will need quite some cpu horsepower for audio processing (see above).
And: I definetly DONT want any phone functionality (4G, 3G, LTE, GSM...) on that device!
My money resources are limited.
I like things, which are build for lasting a longer period. That means for example that I would prefer devices, which internal LiPO-cell can be changed (or can be changed in some "non official" ways).
Any recommandations what to buy?
Thank you very much in advance for any help!
Best regards,
tuxic
