Hi,
Just a little update : I managed to build xbmc for my environment on a GK802.
Basically I have built the linaro branch from rob'repository (with commits 44a7a77 4d8a77c 2604f6b 304ac05 reverted)
I use yocto to build my own distro
I target EGL as the windowing system (I also made minor adaptations in WinSystemGLES files)
Yet it is not 100% working for now : I have some issues :
- gstreamer is not fully properly integrated (not related to xbmc but to missing plugins in my build. The h264 hw decoding works at least
![Wink Wink](https://forum.kodi.tv/images/smilies/wink.png)
)
- I have a heating issue : As xbmc GUI consumes some CPU, the soc temperature increases very fast : I tried to attach a custom heatsink and it is far better but still not enough : I have to find a real solution on this side...
(on one side I still need to open the stick, replace the sdcard, plug a header to access UART quite often while hacking and on the other side a real cooling solution would require to close it for good and ensure good conduction between the case and my heatsink... So it is not easy to find a good compromise)
Yet it is already very positive :
xbmc loads really very fast (I have a class 10 sdcard) compared to other device I have. The GUI is pretty responsive and the gstplayer is launched (well, I have some issues with gstreamer but as I said these are generic issues with my build and not related to xbmc integration)
As soon as I have a stable build I will publish the recipes for yocto/poky as a gk802 layer and the prebuilt image ready to flash..
Once this first step is reached , I will also try to bump to xbmc frodo 12.1 (for now I have built the eden version)
Regards
Stephan
