"...what about a tablet, Asus ME173x?.."
Advice:- Don't buy junk, cheapie, tablets such as the PenDoPad 7.
I had a, refurbished cheapie, Nexus Asus MemoPad which then I managed to soft brick, before testing the canon camera conection.
The Replacemnt is a [pair] of Nexus-7 Asus ME370t refurbished cheapies. One is now Un-Locked the other Nexus-7 Asus default, both also have "USB debugging" mode enabled in the Developer Options.

Answer: "...The method this program utilizes to root your device is not an exploit by any means.
Instead, this program relies upon the additional low-level access gained from unlocking the bootloader..."

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1976120Both ME370t Tablets have now been updated to Android version 4.4.4 and Canon CameraWindow version 1.4.0.27 ["CW"].
Advice:- Don't try a System UpDates at McDonald's as they will most probably fail.
Canon CameraWindow will connect, via Wi-Fi, to my Ixus 240's, Ixus 265's and Sx600's.
Also Remote Shooting and LiveView is possible on the Ixus 265's and Sx600's via Canon CameraWindow. So far I haven't found any other "Apps" that can do Remote Shooting and LiveView.
Also I have not done any extended testing other than a quick test to see that "CW" works.
The Nexus-7 Asus Micro-USB to USB Charging cable [Device] can also be used to transfer Data between a PC [Host] and the Tablets [Device], with the appropriate Drivers enabled/disabled on the PC side. A "USB-Hack" that enables "Tablet Charging" and USB-OtG [Host] is a W.I.P., details, in a later CHDK post.
Also I have, cheapie, Micro USB-OtG Adaptor's [Host], Chinese CardBoard Tablet style USB-KeyBoard, USB-Mouse and 4-Port USB-2 Hub's that work Ok with the Nexus-7 Asus Tablets [Host].
There is space inside the Chinese, CardBoard, Tablet style, USB-Keyboard for a "Hacked-Micro/Mini" 4-Port USB-2 Hub, details, in a later CHDK post.
My 7-Port USB-2 Hub is also Untested with Nexus-7 Asus Tablets. A another W.I.P. is my USB-Rj45, or Cat 5/6, Active USB-2 Extention Adaptor mod, details, in a later CHDK post.
I installed via Google play, Debian noroot by pelya Current Version 14.07.04 - July 4 2014, on my Nexus-7's it runs Ok and includes some basic stuff such as file system and SD card Access and two Terminals.
@ reyalp; Would it be posible to use ChdkPtp-r650 or above by running ChdkPtp in the Android Debian noroot app.
@ All; The [Nintendo] DS Open Camera Control Project will run Ok, in Nintendo DS Android Emulators, on my Nexus-7's Tablets.

My, Touch Screen, Asus X202EP [PC-Host] will also Boot/Run Grub/Windows/Boot.wim's
and Android-x86-4r41 in dedicated 1-gig partition's. [Just by editing the -boot- "BCD"]
However Canon CameraWindow, Windows/Android, version 1.4.0.27 has "Stoped Working".
