There is only one real solution: root the device, install/enable sshd
into it, configure the USB port for tethering (i.e. that you can run
TCP/IP over USB) or configure the Wifi to ssh into it via Wifi.

I use an Ubuntu mobile phone which uses internal an Android kernel and
on top of the Ubuntu 16.04. I wrote some hints about some stuff one can
do with it, maybe it gives you some ideas for your case:

But before you must "open" the device, i.e. root it. There are a lot of instructions in
Internet about how to do this.
