No consumer hardware decoder exists for Hi10P. You'll need at least an Intel core2duo or better for Hi10P playback, so anything ARM is out of the question.
Also, that guide has a lot of errors. For starters, they keep using still images to compare Hi10P to High Profile content. They also claim Hi10P is the future, when it's actually an 8 year old profile that was only meant for professional/studio use. The future is H.265, which beats the pants off of any profile for H.264. H.265 has broad support from venders, and will eventually have hardware decoding (might take a while for it to be wide spread) while Hi10P might not ever have hardware support.
