I installed SDE, and am LOST! cant get su permission, (probably did something wrong, dev recovery is not finding the kernel initfram to flash for some reason.

The SDE does not give you root. The SDE allows you to install a secondary OS, which you can root.
For example, the post that dewthat refers to is how to install a modified version of the Android OS as compiled by Archos, allowing you to have root access to that OS (not the original OS shipped on the tablet).

After you root and get su, you can overclock with setcpu

Thanks for all the replies!

I'm not sure I understand that statement. It's possible then to have superuser without root??? When I installed the SDE, I got superuser permissions in the Development Edition.

Again, SDE is there to give you the possibility to install another Android ( or any type of Linux for armc8 ).
It doesn't give you su or anything, that is something YOU have to do by installing another system, like the linked one.

I have done by this step.

It's simple:
download SDE: http://www.archos.com/support/download/firm_dev/firmware_archos_android_gen8.aos
download the custom kernel from the thread mentioned above
reboot archos device and hold down "Vol-" button after screen went black
choose "Update firmware"
connect your archos device by usb to your computer
upload the firmware file to your device
safely disconnect the usb connection
press ok on archos device
reboot and hold down "Vol-" button after screen went black
Go to recovery menu and choose flash kernel / initramfs.cpio.gz
connect your archos device by usb to your computer
upload zImage and initramfs.cpio.gz to your device
safely disconnect the usb connection
press ok on archos device
reboot and hold down "Vol-" button after screen went black
choose "Developer Edition"
...
run terminal app

have fun...

Cool...it looks like that kernel can only be used with ext4 booting from an sdcard, correct?

I, too, am confused. I have installed SDE and booted to it. I tried to continue and follow the instructions from above link but in SDE's terminal screen, I cannot create partitions on my SD card which is already inserted. There is no entry for sdb in /dev. I can su from the terminal screen but "fdisk" is not found as a command!
How do I format the sdcard?
Thanks in advance.
Another question: Can we mount the Android file system from SDE so we can modify things in it? Instead of running another Android OS?

By this, I assume you mean custom ROM's also?

@caseym : That kernel can use with ext4 booting from an sdcard but my device not used ext4 and booting from internal stroage not sdcard.
I need only temp root.
@ crc111: I though you need to manage partition of SD Card in Linux OS on your PC/Notebook. Not in you device.

jakkrith, thanks. I don't have a Linux PC. I will have to build one to proceed with this project.

Okay. I installed the VMWarePlayer and the Ubuntu 10 image. But Ubuntu does not see the SD card reader device in my laptop. I tried to edit the configuration of the VM but VMWarePlayer does not show a SD card as a available device to add to the VM. It shows Floppy, CD Rom, etc drives even though there is none in my laptop!
