I keep this reader in my small bag that I use daily. I use it at the park at the kids and at bedtime. It is a great device with a bit of tweaking.

And I have a GitHub repo over here about it.

I have one too, great device for the price, the review is spot on.

Thanks for your repo, good info, starred. The link [1] to rooting is fascinating and frustrating: a reminder that most Android is still far from open. A smart Chinese manufacturer should make one of these with completely open bootloader and full source: Watch what the enthusiasts do with it then steal those ideas for v2.

There's a little typo in the repo description: "Xioami"


Do these devices have a gps chip? Would be super handy as a backup nav device.


They do not. I wish they did!
