Proof of concept: use APL to boot Linux on an Echo Show

Frank Börncke

Please note: unfortunately this example now refuses to work with the Silk browser (timeout problem?). With Firefox there was a better user experience

Proof of concept: using an emulation technique from Frabrice Bellard (https://bellard.org) we use APL and the Echo inbuilt browser to run an Alpine Linux emulation within the Echo Show environment.

It is a good idea to conncet a bluetooth keyboard to your Echo Show device to enter commands into the Linux command shell.

The user experience is not speedy but the concept works.
