I wonder where is Beaglebone Black support? It is a great hardware. Did I miss any guide on how to make it work on my BBB?

ISTR that the BBB doesn't have any hardware codec acceleration, so is a non-starter as a media player. ISTR it also has some odd limitations on its HDMI output in resolution terms. (I don't think it can output 1920x1080 over HDMI for instance?)

Sorry for the NecroBump, but the BeagleBone Black works out of the box at 1920x1080. And it never had driver support for the GPU until recently. I've got a 4.0 kernel, direct rendering, Ubuntu 14.04, 1920x1080.
I have an older XBMC installed, 12.3, but it hits 100% CPU just sitting there. Its not DOING anything or drawing any screens. Even if no GPU, it shouldn't be doing this. The mouse barely moves. Keyboard only responds after a huge delay.
If anyone can fix this, PLEASE help. A new OS and new Kodi would be fine, but losing my DRI would be a step back I think. I should be on the right track, right?

I don't think the Sitara SoC in the BBB is suitable for Kodi is it? ISTR that it doesn't have any on-board video hardware decoding functionality - so whilst GPU support may be implemented, there isn't a VPU/MFC etc. hardware decoder, so all video decoding is in software. You'd be limited to SD MPEG2 level video at best I suspect if you could get it to work.

That really isn't the point. Bad performance and poor frame framerate is fine. That is expected behavior. What described is a serious issue that isn't just a slow machine. Something is wrong

Yes - but that is an old build of XBMC running on a platform that is unlikely to be supported by many Kodi devs because it won't be a viable video playback platform.
Kodi devs are now working on Kodi 15 (Isengard) as well as Kodi 16 - XBMC 12.3 is a very old build.
How did you install it? Installed from a repo or compiled on the BBB?
Any indication of oddness in your XBMC/Kodi logs ?
