XBMC / Kodi on Linux on RK3288 / Firefly - with hw video acceleration
This is now July 1, roughly 2 months since this first 'breakthrough'. For many of us linux folks with rk3288 devices, the inability to run Kodi/xbmc is a real show-stopper. Any news out there?
Sad to see that this project has not materialized.

Which devices broke? Most vendors are saying they are not having any hardware issues so this would be really interesting to know!
Outstanding Mac, a definite innovation. Looking forward to your work.
Thank you for your efforts.When funds loosen up here, I'll try to turn my appreciation in to something more tangable.
