You didn't say which model you got, but the basic chip looks like it has a composite out. So, there's somewhere that it would send video to. That must mean that it presents a text console, or could maybe even work via framebuffer. With either of those, it should be enough to attach a usb keyboard, modprobe speakup_soft, start espeakup or speechdup, and you should be set to go. I didn't see anything about the sound on this device. If it doesn't have built-in audio, or the built-in audio is junk, you'll want to get a usb sound card.
