Seems like a good use for AI. If people can use it to port video games from one system to another or jailbreak consoles, surely "get this library/program compiling on this device, then get all the tests passing, here's root ssh and an internet connection" could work pretty well in most cases. I wouldn't have bothered wasting my time in the past, but now, sure why not? It's not my time anymore and AI can turn the crank until it works.

Rpi is not always such a gold standard either.. is their boot chain still a mess? That was one of the problems with zero 2w

Rockchip has stellar mainline kernel support for most of their SOCs.
