Installation
Android 5 of this tablet doesn't contain UEFI, booting Linux requires research. The bootloader interface shows SECURE_BOOT - ?, so the security state is unknown.
Update to Android 5.0
Download here: https://www.asus.com/supportonly/ASUS%20MeMO%20Pad%207(ME70C)/HelpDesk_BIOS/
Download WW_V12.8.1.41 and put it in the Internal storage folder of the tablet. An update notification should appear for installing the update.
Mainline
The Soc is from the Cloverview series. Needs more research
It uses the Simple Firmware Interface for discovering system timers and non-enumerable buses, but other stuff can be found using PCI. SFI has been dropped from mainline, so unless that is merged back the best thing is close-to-mainline on a fork of kernel version 5.10 which was the last kernel that supported it or use second stage bootloader Petitboot to boot newer kernels with devicetree.(See Motorola RAZR i (XT890) (motorola-smi)'s device package).
