NMTs and XBMC - possible info here (not sure) - joncgde2 - 2008-12-20

Hi

I sent an email off to HDPLEX, a company that makes NMTs (Kaiboer, etc.).

They were kind enough to respond, and this is what they said. I don't know if it's of any use, but I thought it might be important to share:

Quote:Hi，

XBMC is cross platform and Sigma’s SoC does run linux on them.

But in order to run XBMC, you would need OPENGL environment which if I am not mistaken Sigma SoC does not support.

Secondly, ffmpeg, XBMC’s decoder, rely on CPU raw power instead of hardwired decoder. The next generation 8644/8654 only has 500/677Mhz MIPS.

So in order to run XBMC on Sigma’s SoC, there is still a long way to go given someone make a open source box.

Believe me, if we could make a SoC box capable of running XBMC, we would KILL to achieve this.

Thanks.

HDPLEX INC.


Cheers

Jon
