He talks mainly about decoding ... Braswell has no hw possibility to decode 10 bit hevc content.

I guesss this is being padded with 4 LSBs of zeroes? (This is Apollo Lake, but I think my Haswell Chromebox behaves similarly from its HDMI output)
sorry, to clarify: the 8-bit limitation of BSW (and SKL) is on GPU decoding of h.264, HEVC, VP9, etc., not on output depth. APL (and KBL) are capable of 10-bit HW decoding for HEVC/VP9.

I bought a 14" HP $220 off the shelf with the Celeron(atom) with the HD Intel Graphics 400(Braswell.) It runs Kodi just fine. I still haven't tried to play 1080p, but I don't have any digital copies. I think my friend has a digital copy of "Fury." I will try to grab it to see. I installed Ubuntu on it after I wasn't able to get Blender to run on Lubuntu, but I think I am going back to Lubuntu and making a Ubuntu LiveUSB. I want to experiment with running LibreELEC in a LXD container and an OpenWRT Docker container(if docker can have usb), because I want to work towards developing an OpenWRT tvfronthead USB TV Tuner node with LibreELEC Kodi DVR.
