Re: [vdr] will VDR run on this?

2011-08-01 Thread Timothy D. Lenz
broadcom? yea right, someone will likely have to be willing to buy 
50,000 before they will even start producing them and then you'll need 
to be willing to buy 10-20,000 unless someone like digi-key decides to 
stock it. They made a cool tuner chip that handled most if not all 
current sat formats, but it never went to production because no one 
would commit to a insane quanity.

Any thoughts?


VDR runs just fine on a seagate dockstar, so I see no reason why it
shouldn't run on this device, but I don't believe that it has enough power
show the TV signal via hdmi.


Not so sure, depending on driver availability:
http://www.mikrocontroller.net/topic/224132#2254607

OpenGL ES 2.0
1080p30 H.264 high-profile decode

Well lets see, when it apears, if it will be available to normal
people AND if the required driver will be there too.


It's broadcom, so I doubt it: the wolf may lose his teeth but never his nature.
At most (if anything) we'll get a binary blob tied to a specific kernel version
with no possible upgrade path.

Bye

I've had vdr running on a Linksys NSLU2 before now! No output device, 
though, and no remote (but that could have been bodged with some 
soldering). More of a proof of prinicple than anything else, though.

Cheers,
