You might want to contact them to ask for the open source code for your device.
If that fails then you can try to get the Linux developers to ask for
the code. There are three organisations working on GPL compliance that
I am aware of.

Cortex-A9 is a CPU design from ARM. Rockchip takes that design,
modifies it, integrates it with other things and puts the result into
one System-on-Chip, which it then manufactures and sells to device
makers. ARM itself doesn't manufacture and sell to device makers.

What files do you see?
Is there a zImage or vmlinuz?

Great! Any needed skills can be picked up during the process.

Continue to go through the article, getting the needed info.
BTW, you can join the #debian-mentors IRC channel for packaging help
and #debian-mobile for mobile-specific things.
