No ideas myself, but your first points of call would be to find out what
processor it uses and if that architecture is Linux supported, what
internal storage there is and how you can get it on there. Perhaps
better to find an existing project (or just a guy) which is working on
it rather attempting to figure it all out from scratch unless your good
with embedded development processes. Then again if it's already a brick
then you've nothing to lose.
