Originally published on GitHub — May 17, 2026
Summary
A developer documented the complete process of transforming a cheap $80 Doogee U10 Android tablet (powered by the Rockchip RK3562 SoC) into a fully functional Debian 12 Bookworm Linux workstation. The project, hosted on GitHub as rk3562deb, provides a build system that produces flashable Debian images with working GPU acceleration, Wi-Fi, and even NPU-driven local LLM inference (Qwen3-0.6B at ~4.9 tok/s on-device).
