I saw that the Boxee Box
(http://www.engadget.com/2010/01/05/hands-on-with-the-boxee-box/) will
be running on the Tegra 2 platform instead of an ION board. AnandTech
has a detailed break down of the Tegra 2 hardware
(http://www.anandtech.com/gadgets/showdoc.aspx?i=3714&p=1). It is
basically a SOC with two ARM Cortex A9 processors and then nvidia
chips for video decode and encoding. It can do 1080 H264 like ION and
the other VDPAU cards can. The Boxee Box will be less than $200 and it
will be running Linux. I know the Boxee devs use Ubuntu for Boxee
development. Assuming Linux is running on one of these Tegra 2
systems, are there any barriers to getting mythfrontend running on it?
They will be even lower power (electrical power) than ION systems and
look like they may be a little cheaper too.
