Just search android tv cortex a9 in alibaba and you will see a few manufactures selling various versions all with the amlogic soc. I need to solder a max3232 chip to my board now.
Hi ps2chiper,
Would you be able to get hold of tablet based on Amlogic AML-8726M like Ramos W10 or its clones to see if you can boot linux provided by amlogic straight from them?
Apparently retail version of what you got like A3 from Mygica or A100 from geniatech are just too hard to find even in China. The Amlogic AML-8726M tablet has similar specs in terms of CPU, GPU, DSP and Memory but its very popular in China and this means you can get it easily with dirty cheap price ($100 for a Ramos W10 clone).
If someone can get xmbc running on devices based on Amlogic AML-8726 with reasonable speed and performance I may well tempted to replace my ageing ATV1 with that.
