Looks like there will be another user of this SoC coming to market relatively soon, from the original Microsoft Xbox hacker "bunnie":
The NeTV has a particularly high hack-value due to its integration of an FPGA; from the hacker’s perspective, it’s a cousin to the Rasberry Pi but with integrated wifi, HDMI pass-through and an FPGA. And a shiny plastic case for those who care about that!

Maybe by "cousin" he means similar market and actually a different SoC. Either way depending on price point it may be what the "hardcore" hacker crowd is hoping to get from the raspberry pi (whose target is more an introduction to computing / computer science)
- wmf 15y agoThe NeTV uses a Marvell SoC, so you're right that it's a somewhat distant cousin.
- nl 15y agoThis looks really interesting. It appears to be designed specifically to do HDMI passthough, with the idea you run apps on top of video that is passing through the device (or that's how I read it anyway). Combine that with the FPGA... I can imagine some really nice apps.
