The platform is ideal for xbmc. It has HDMI, a powerful CPU and DSP (BCM2835) capable of output 1080p HD videos. Most importantly the price is only about $35 for the model B with 256MB memory.
I believe it uses OpenMax as the API for video hardware accelerated decoding.
From the available demo videos I have seen so far it looks like it does not have Xorg instead fb device is used for video rendering.
The hardware is almost identical to Ruku 2 XD.
They will probably release it in 1-2 months time. Anyone interested?
You should talk with Davilla about this
