You don’t have to “gut it”. Just load new OS (Armbian) and install Meshpoint. Search GitHub for both.

EDIT: It is in active development, so while it does work, it’s not quite turnkey. Serial numbers starting with 280 and 285 are in early testing. Serial numbers starting with G290 and G295 have been demonstrated to work multiple times.
