as for video hardware acceleration, im unsure about this... i believe it can do 1080p though...
some info on it can be found here:
http://www.malideveloper.com/platforms/b...atform.php
eglinfo should tell some info around the gpu, prob better ways, never tried.
The hdx bone with the tcc8900 (and I think the mali 200 gpu) does output 1080p.
I am reasonably satisfies that the tcc8900 in the HDX Bone uses the mali 200 GPU. Inside the android /system/lib/modules/:
are:
cec.ko
mali.ko
audio.ko
libertas.ko
libertas_sdio.ko
hdmidrv.ko
hpd.ko
galcore.ko
and inside the strings of the mali.ko are:
MALI_GP2
Mali MMU
Mali 200 (GX525)
Though the other .ko of note here is the galcore.ko, which seems to be the work of Vivante Graphics, apparently another supplier of gpu for embedded systems. So...
I am still waiting on an answer from HDX.
As for hardware video decoding, the Mali / Telechips development board specifications list:
Video Decoder (up to 1920x1080p)
l H.264, MPEG 1/2 , MPEG 4 , VC-1, Real Video 8/9/10, H.263
Video Encoder (up to 1280x720p)
l H.263, MPEG 4, H.264
Though I don't know how I can be sure those are "hardware video decoding" or otherwise.
So is the substitution of fbdev for x windows / x11 something that is being explored?
