Since it runs on Linux, it would be quite strange not to run Bmax.

The thing I would check out is what it means by Asus customised version of Linux.

If you can get GCC on it, you should be able to compile up the other packages you need to build Blitz apps - although the 4GB won't last long...

I take it you can ramp up the "disk space" by adding a larger SD card?

I suppose you could have multiple SD cards for different applications or projects, it depends on where the linux is installed to?
