I see no reason why anyone can't. This hardware is available on the market. I will answer any question and share any code.

I just don't advocate this approach, as it's extremely easy to "brick"
the hardware to the point needing soldering iron intervention, to get the serial port and/or JTAG out.

Having a stable bootloader and working recovery partition will make working on the OS image easier. And we will have this in the pre-release developer device. But up to this point, you need to get your hands dirty and have at least some knowledge in electronics. If you do, please speak up.
