T.O., this video will likely make me spend money that I don't have on yet another radio. It may also kill the productivity of my current software project (EmComm Tools). I'll let people know that offline maps are delayed because you rooted the X6100. ;-) Nice work! Looking forward to the documented process when it's ready.

I now have both and they are both great radios - if you want to hack away on linux and on-radio-ran-apps - the X6100 is awesome. If you want a cheap radio that will get you heard at a park, the G90 is awesome. If they made the X6100 in a 20w version with better heat management, I'd be all over the GX6190!! It seems like there isn't one perfect radio.

Well this could be a prime candidate to add native FreeDV support with no external pi's etc. Something like that might help boost the x6100's sales and lead to fostering a relationship with the mfg, kind of like how the rtl2832u led to the rtl-sdr.

Very cool you've rooted it so quickly.

Idea comes to mind to make a webserver that lets you remote in to it to use the radio from a different place, making it like a flex-like radio? :-)

Interesting. Now I understand your X6100 reference in the context of WSJT-X in your more recent QDX video. I wonder if the "real" root password is the same for the GSoC? I do have one of those along with a G90 transceiver. Also, you guys may already be way on top of this, but the Buildroot system is ideal for compiling binaries for embedded systems. There should already be Allwinner build configs for a variety of platforms available with Buildroot. Obviously it'll be difficult to build a working kernel for the X6100 without knowing its proper config, but I've had good success in the past being able to build general application binaries for a particular target. I've never tried to use it to build an app with heavy-ish dependencies like WSJT-X (qt libraries) so I don't know how difficult that will be. Darn it. I've successfully stayed away from Discords up until now. Edit: I see from Alex (in English)'s root video that the X6100 app is written with Qt too. So I guess compiling WSJT-X for X6100 should be doable too. Do you know if anyone's done that already?
