The MK802 uses the Mali-400 graphics chip and so does the Pivos XIOS DS.
if the XIOS has hardware acceleration for XBMC under Android, does that mean hardware acceleration is within the realm of possibility for the MK802?
No. This has been covered already in this thread. The Mali is just the display output. Hardware decoding is performed in a Video Processing Unit (VPU) which differs depending on which SoC is used. So the AmLogic 8726-M1 in the XIOS has a different VPU to the AllWinner A10 in the MK802, meaning no hardware acceleration natively on the MK802 at this time.
AllWinner may be assisting the developers make this a possibility but it is all behind closed doors at the moment.
ok, thanks for clearing that up.
