Create an img file for flashing an SD Card maybe using MuOS as a base. Similar to MOSS image based of JelOS used for the RGB30 created by https://github.com/shauninman/MinUI/ This could also open up the way for more hardware and software support

You must see MyMinUI (and MinUI as well) as a replacement for emulationstation. MOSS is just a trimmed and slim release of jelos to provide the minimum functions to boot the device and launch minui instead of emulationstation, that's it. On Miyoo devices this can't be done as the firmware is stored in an internal emmc drive not accessible so the brick is almost immediate. On RG35XX OG that has been done by batocera/koriki but it turned out in a slow system which I'm not interested to recover.

Unfortunately most of these cheap devices are made on poorly documented chipsets with closed source kernel binary so it is definitely no worth the effort to unlock them. It will be required a lot of time, consider that at the end these devices cost <50bucks with a lifetime shorter than a Year, once finished to develop nobody is remembering even the device name....
