Thank you Wispet for your insights!
Yes, I have attempted to connect a USB keyboard to the host port on the tablet to interrupt the startup process, but no keys , any function key, CTRL-C, etc appear to have an effect.
On this console, there is no reset hole/button available, near the USB port or anywhere on the tablet (it has been removed from the console, and case removed in search of the reset button, no luck.
I have tried ADB as well, but it seems to rely on the setting configuration on the Android device, which is not possible as it is stuck in an upgrade loop, hence no device is listed from ADB.
Concerning an alternate to using using the Android tablet to control the motors, I was not considering something so elaborate as Pi, Arduino or another microcontroller. Based on the wiring diagram found inside the base unit cover, the control signals are fairly basic in nature. The incline is controlled by a 5V pulse for up/down on two lines, and the motor speed is controlled via PWM signal. I was just going to create a small PWM circuit using a linear 555 chip.
