That's easy comparing to reflash a pocketchip and setting up a pinning kernel because if you upgrade the NAND will bork out as MLC+ubifs it's a recipe for a disaster. On similar ARM devices, I own a wm8850 netbook (armv7l) and I coudn't reflash it with a custom Uberoid "ROM" but oddly enough I could boot a custom kernel and config with a Slackware 14 rootfs. Some port from PostmarketOS exists (Tokio techbook), albeit is not for the same model, but setting up a similar u-boot woudln't be too difficult. My major issue is that that device is now semi-bricked and I think I could restore it with PXE, as it doesn't show anything on any reflashing trial.
