OEM
This is a rebranded EB-0600S by Hivision Co.Ltd. The main chip is an Ingenic JZ4755 running linux 2.6. The update function looks for a /sdcard/init/system.upg file - the OEM has incomplete firmware files on their website. The device looks similar to the Augen The Book - same GUI, same SoC, different screen. http://openthebook.byteorder.net/ has some more info on "The Book"'s firmware.
