ARM Systems
From MythTV Official Wiki
There are lots of nice little ARM systems for small money on offer. To run mythfrontend you need memory (keep in mind that the memory is shared between CPU and GPU!) and a fast CPU or supported GPU video decoding API.
| Board | System on Chip | CPU Cores | GPU Cores | Memory | Ubuntu | 3D API | Video API | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raspberry PI 2 Model B | Broadcom BCM2836 | Cortex-A7 Quad core | Videocore 4 | 1 GiB | Snappy Core alpha-02 available | OpenGL ES 2.0 | OpenMAX | working HDMI-CEC |
| Raspberry PI Model B | Broadcom BCM2835 | ARM1176JZFS 700MHz | Videocore 4 | 512 MiB | no | OpenGL ES 2.0 | OpenMAX | working HDMI-CEC |
| MiniX NEO X5 | Rockchip RK3066 | Cortex-A9 Dual core | Mali 400 Quad core | 1 GiB DDR3 | 12.10 images available | Also has a VPU but it appears it is not yet supported | ||
| Wandboard Quad | Freescale i.MX6 Quad | Cortex-A9 Quad core | Vivante GC2000 videocore | 2 GiB DDR3 | 14.04 LTS images available | Freescale's own with sample code available | HDMI-CEC (rounting was fixed on dual and quad only!) | |
| ODROID-C1 | Cortex-A5 Quad core 1.5 GHz | Mali 450 MP2 | 1 GiB | Ubuntu 14.04 | OpenGL ES 2.0 | custom AMLogic API with sample code in Kodi (with H.264/H.265 support at 1080p60!) | Infrared(IR) Receiver with dedicated remote, HDMI-CEC need hardware fix! | |
| Banana Pi M1(+) | Cortex-A7 Dual-core | Mali 400 MP2 | 1 GiB | unknown Lubuntu release with unknown hardware support | OpenGL ES 2.0 | unknown to non-existent | GBit networking and SATA 2.0 to make it a backend, also IR receiver and HDMI-CEC |
