I wonder how much it shares with the cromecast, and whether (possibly) being able to hack at this, will open up the chromecast a little. Should be interesting

I wonder how much it shares with the cromecast, and whether (possibly) being able to hack at this, will open up the chromecast a little. Should be interesting to watch, since I expect there might be a few spare chromecasts lying around now ;-)

According to the people who rooted the chromecast a couple years ago -- https://blog.exploitee.rs/2013/chromecast-exploiting-the-newest-device-by-google/ https://blog.exploitee.rs/2013/chromecast-exploiting-the-new... -- the chromecast is using a modified Google TV base. So any hacking between the two platforms wouldn't be easily transferred. Even with the chromecast 2, there probably won't be easily transferable exploits as that is using a Marvell chip at its core.

The Chromebit is similar to the Asus C201 ("Flip") Chromebook. Chromecast has very different lineage.
