Other software on RetroStone?

So far, has any of you had any luck trying out other software on RetroStone besides emulators and such? Even some different OS?

One of the reasons I got this device was to experiment a bit on writing my own midi-controller. Running a program that reacts to buttons and spits out midi through USB (there needs to be a midi-box in between).

Maybe I am writing this in wrong forum, but I guess it is worth putting it out here:

Is it possible to add other programs in the RetrOrangePi menu, like pure data, and select patches from the list?
Once I get it in there I can program PD to start everything else necessary. I am experienced in making PD patches but not done much programming/customization outside it. Any advice?

I guess I need to know what hid number the buttons run on and what are the labels/id-s to read off?

The RetroStone is based on the OrangePi board. So, it stands to reason it's compatible with numerous OS.
