Support for MeLe A1000G?

tecc · May 4, 2016 at 7:14 AM

I was wondering if there's any chance that this (older) hardware, also known as Vidon.Me AV200, will ever be supported by LibreElec?

Specs:
AllWinner A31 Cortex Quad-Core A7 @ 1GHz
GPU: Octa-Core PowerVR SGX554
RAM: 2GB DDR3

Thx.

It's unlikely. Allwiner + PowerVR =

And since LibreElec is a fork of OpenElec, there's no sense in expecting them to support this hardware either?

There is no support from allwinner or powervr side, so no proper drivers or docs are available. Also there is no allwinner support for Kodi if I recall correctly.

Well, the box runs now on Android 4.x and Kodi works just fine or what do you mean?

Android is not Linux They use closed soource drivers - If Allwinner/PowerVR didn't want to help the oss developers there is nothing we can do. The alternative is to develope all drivers alone - this isn't happen
