There are a gazillion of these. (Most of these are dual, there are a few quad cores mixed in. For XBMC, the dual core is more than powerful enough. The quad core won't fix software rendering, it's up the OEMs to get CedarX working (it's close) or Pivos to push out more amlplayer updates for utilizing the Mali GPU for accelerated playback.)

It's like the AMLogic-M3 f16ref. There are a dozen different flavors of these and the roms are interchangeable but there's no community around them to get continuous integration and good builds of XBMC setup. There should be an effort to get a distro that will generate nightly builds to target these devices with Linux/Android and optionally XBMC.
I keep rehashing this and everytime I do I say I should start a blog or set of resources for this... I need to follow through but my other projects are more immediately exciting :S
- steevdave 14y agoThere is a community that is trying to get things working.
- drivebyacct2 14y agoI think there are lots of very small disjoint communities that are duplicating effort. That's my fear and out look. I think things are going to spice up for the AMLogic-M{3,6} devices very soon from j1nx.nl.

- Aissen 14y ago> There are a gazillion of these. Nope there aren't, not at this price. Even the pandaboard ES is more expensive (and TI is discontinuing OMAP :-(( ). Sure there are quite a lot Allwinner and Rockchip based boards, but these don't compare to a Samsung Exynos. Not yet.
- vonmoltke 14y agoTI is not discontinuing OMAP. They are discontinuing the tablet-oriented chips and refocusing on embedded. What that means for the hobbyist SBC market remains to be seen.
- gregsq 14y agoThis is the kind of thing going on with the Omap5. http://www.phytec.com/pdf/OMAP5_product_brief.pdf http://www.phytec.com/pdf/OMAP5_product_brief.pdf
