Willing to do the same on the Force

Hi There,
I have just purchased an Akai Force, and while searching for Akai+Radxa to do the same you are doing here, I've found this GitHub.
So I see you've already been able to go further on the MPC.
Wondering if you have anything to share in terms of extracting/exploring the update image.
So far I have not opened my Force yet. I did so research on the Ableton Push (which is also made by Akai) which can be found here: http://pushmod.blogspot.com/
I see that when put in the "computer mode", the Force establishes a midi interface and an Audio interface to the computer. So from there I believe a lot can be done in terms of accessing the pads and so on, just like the Push.
But I am more interested in extracting, modifying, replacing the image into the Radxa (or even SSH into it) to try and add more functionality, like extra progressions and other stuff.
So first of all: great work here, I still need to go through reading it all. And second: if you have ane tips/hints on how to extract the upgrade image I would be very grateful.
I do have a couple Radxa boards here, but not the Rock2 on which they seem to be based on.
Cheers,
Marcelo.
I was able to extract the rootfs using the instructions in here ... very cool.
And we're in... oh yeah! :)
To not leave an issue open, as this is already resolved, I will close this and move my discussions/questions to the Facebook group.
Thanks a lot.
