Novo7 tablet can be used as a MIPS-based Linux workstation, for generic development tasks. To get command line access, you can use any terminal emulator application or adb utility from Android SDK.

From a user point of view, an Android environment is very different from Linux: it lacks many generic things like /bin, /usr, /tmp, Posix-compliant utilities etc. But it's possible to build a Debian-based environment, located in a separate disk space and used via chroot.

* Full traditional Linux environment is provided
