Hi All,
I have an aging Asus tf101 with the detachable keyboard and am getting fairly tired of the android app ecosystem. I was wondering since the trimslice and the tf101 both share the tegra 2 chipset if anyone had tried it on this device yet? and if so could share their expereince?

I'm not aware of anyone who's got it working. There's a few things we'd need to be able to support it well (this goes for pretty much any device by any SoC manufacturer) and those are: - Unlocked boot loader with device tree support - In kernel device tree
Unfortunately most of the current older devices don't support device tree which is a necessity for OOTB support on Fedora these days. Any tegra based device that runs a kernel newer than 3.7 should have this as all the non DT support for tegra platforms was ripped out in that release. The tegra2 support is pretty reasonable now with basic video support and will get better as the upstream driver code makes it to a stable and usable driver.

Please forgive me if I'm incorrect about this, I'm a N00b with arm devices. It looks like the tf101 does support device tree. Here's a link to cyanogenmod device tree code for it
https://github.com/RaymanFX/device_asus_tf101
There are reports of getting ubuntu running on a tf101 https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Devices/tf101 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168473
I'm willing to do legwork, can I virtualize a specific arm device? I've done stints as build manager at my place of employment and have setup and maintain a koji build farm and bodhi instance at my place of employment. I just need to bootstrap my brain into the arm world view
It seems to me that device tree is arms answer to a bios/post. As in here's a list of devices/chipsets I know about on this device. On Oct 20, 2013 5:59 AM, "Peter Robinson" pbrobinson@gmail.com wrote:

If you can find instructions for getting any version of any distro running on the TF101, you can run any distro on it. You just have to use whatever kernel somebody got working on the device with your prefered distro userspace. I have many machines running that way.
