Bootable OS images

= GNU/Linux =

When the image you download is made for a different type of device (eg. Cubieboard vs MK802) but using the same CPU (eg. A10) you should be able to use it after updating u-boot and script.bin from your particular hwpack.

Some images that use very little hardware like the headless server images might work without changes on many devices.

= Android =

Android is typically installed to the internal nand flash using LiveSuit or PhoenixCard.

It is not easily possible to update the script.bin in LiveSuit images so you need an image for your particular device. Old android images would let the bootloader present on the nand set up memory controller so there is better chance of compatibility.
