CoreELEC is not intended for commercial use, therefore we don’t have any specific price/cost plans.
If you want to use CoreELEC for commercial products, and want to have our approval and/or our help with it, you need to contact us directly, and explain what your plans are for the software.
On another note, removing the items you don’t need from the main menu is a configuration thing, you don’t need us for it.
intention is not purely commercial, planned to use open source OS, and distribute in low cost to entry level schools and startup office to cut down there computer cost
may be i need to spend more time on porting coreelec and customization on amlogic soc
self customization will take lot time and may be lead to bug issues also
so i planned to take expert support
so let me know your contact details like skype id for further discussion on customization and support cost
Ok. CoreELEC is really a media center OS, centered around Kodi.
Unless you intend it for playing media, I don’t see how it can be of any use in schools.
Maybe it’s best to look at devices like the Odroid C4 (or N2+) and the Ubuntu Linux image that Odroid offers.
Is the plan to have devices only to play video/audio files? If yes, then depending on the school’s setup, CE may be used for it.
But you need to understand, CoreELEC does not support internet browsers, you can’t browse any type of websites with it. It is only designed to function as a home theater device.
It also most likely lacks security features a school would like to be in place.
the device is not used for media play back or entertainment
some of the youtube links shows browser support
coreelec - linux kernel and UI is fine for me
planning to use browser and freerdp application
can you customize coreelec to use only above applications example like armbian os
or can we install .deb file of linux applications
It seems to me with your use case that your best bet is to ROOT the Android install on your Tanix devices so you can remove un-needed apps. With a little expertise you also may be able to do the modifications on one device and then create an image that you copy to all the others to save time.
Android should run a browser and openrdp just fine.
