I know there was a thread in here for this little guy but still,
wanted to create a new one and see if anyone had the box
and how well it as going,,,?

Main thing is that OpenELEC apparently runs on it now!

So is it just another box that will lack support therefor die,
or it will live up!??

i.MX6 is still very much alive, see https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5202

Active downstream fork at https://github.com/xbmc-imx6/xbmc before merged into upstream mainline master.

Main discussion here http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=161793


Freescale i.MX6 platform is still gaining popularity and more hardware based on it is released every month.

I think this is due to great Linux support from Freescale, as seen in OpenELEC and GeeXboX / OpenBricks

Many cheap developer boards are based on Freescale iMX6 which means a broad user-base of developers.

For a more end-user targeted appliance device based on it checkout the EzeeCube, or PC Partner D518.


If you need more evidence then do a search for "Freescale" on sites like CNX-software.com or liliputing.com

Freescale have unveiled plans for i.MX6 Next, i.MX7 and i.MX8 so iMX series support will live on a long time
