I did look into it and I've yet to find a way to do this.

The FOSS community is not limitless and while some community might develop a way in the future, it most definetly is not trivial to do, just by googling. This is a niche topic and AFAIK quite hard to do (first getting custom firmware to run and then develop a FOSS OS for it... While probably not being paid to do so).

Your comments seem quite condescending. I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt but I'd kindly advice you to adjust your tone a bit.
