How to flash the device
TODO: Properly research this... |
On at least some bootloader versions, it's possible to tell the bootloader to boot from an USB device instead. What complicates matters is the fact that the Mi TV Stick only has *one* MicroUSB slot, also used for power. This port can, however, be used for OTG, as long as you can still provide the correct voltage to the device through it.
(I found some YouTube video that goes over the process of installing Armbian, sadly it's all in Russian but it's easy enough to understand if you turn on auto-translated subtitles. It should be possible to do a similar thing with pmOS.)
