    Advice on Box with good FW update support?

    I am planning to turn a 40in 4K TV with a touch bezel into a giant tablet...
    (4k because... when u stand in arms-length of a 40inch, a fullHD screen is quite pixellated...)
    For that, i am looking for an android box that will have the longest possible firmware updates. (Security-fixes).
    So my research has lead me here.
    Can a certain manufacturer be recommended for that, or a specific box, or a chipset?
    I would expect the favorite of you fw-hackers might be a good choice?

    My other consideration would be a raspberry- alternative such as the asus tinker board.

    Which way would you go?

          Hi ,

          AML is only the PCB Maker , not the Box Maker / Seller , most of the Companys making no Updates , better to look for a

          Box with good Developer support , or Shield good Quality and Specs , Updates too i think ???
