I bought a Cheap Chinese RK3288 box named VSmart Q8 RK3288. It has a Rockchip RK3288 chip and running Android 4.4.2 Kitkat as default. I want to try Lubuntu in this amazing small box. Any idea how to make it work. I came to know that new kernels already added support of this chip. Any idea how to install it? It is embed Linux stuff, and I am a noob of embed linux. Anyone here can make a tutorial of running Lubuntu on it will be nice.
Below is the link of this box.

The VSmart Q8 box is also a good build for Ubuntu, and it is way cheaper than Firefly RK3288 and other rk3288 boxes or dev boards, I think someone here should get one and make it running Lubuntu. Someone from FreakTab has made some progress. https://bitbucket.org/DengueTim/q8-rk3288-kernel/wiki/Home
