Raspberry Pi is ARM, so anything that runs on it, including Ubuntu, at least have distro support for ARM chips. I have no idea how well that would cross over to your hardware.
Also, as an example, searching for installing Android on a Raspberry Pi gets all kinds of results, and they have links to download an Android image. It might take some modification of the instructions to work on your hardware, but it at least gives you links and a bunch of hints. Also zero guarantee that the USB ports will actually allow for booting from/flashing the OS. You might need to open it and find programming/JTAG ports. Good luck!
