WIP Kodi box

Hi,

Im designing a new Kodi box
What do you guys think about this mainboard?
ftp://ftp.ts.fujitsu.com/pub/mainboard-o...3003-S.pdf

I have a few of these around. I added wifi 5 and 2.4ghz and 2 gig ram.
At this moment it just runs on flash memory, it pretty fast but i wanna add more storage.

Installing Kodibuntu on it now..

Let me know what you think.

Broken link for me...

Think it's because of ftp vs http because a google od D3003-S found it.

AMD CPU+GPU combos don't tend to get a lot of Kodi love because of their driver support in Linux. No idea in Windows.

Unless it has a compelling additional feature-set, I suspect most people would veer towards ARM based platforms for low-power solutions now, or towards Cherry Trail / Braswell / Broadwell and Haswell Celerons now for x86 platforms.

updated the link, yeah its a ftp link, the forum added a http before it.

Anyway, i did not know this. This is a good one for displaying stuff. if it works, well see. maybe build a driver for it.
If i get it working, maybe add a blueray/dvd drive.

Update:

I installed Kubuntu on this system, Its running on the 5ghz wifi, It said it did not have OpenGL support so i did a upgrade using ssh.
This seems to have added the driver because it working fine now.

Update:

The weird thing is when i was reinstalling this it worked out of the box, before updating, upgraded the memory to 128GB usb3 flash drive just so the write, read speed would be higher.
It boots in 30sec flat now.
