I made M8 Linux XBMC build for EM8 box (with AP6330 wifi, not sure if there are boxes with other wifi, in worst case wifi will not work for you).
Bugs:
Bootlogo and splashscreens (booting up/shutting down) are not shown
720p and 1080i/1080p resolutions work for sure, however I'm pretty sure 4k output will not work at all or will not work correctly
When network connected via cable MAC address is picked randomly so on each reboot box will have different MAC address and IP address assigned by router. This means that router's DHCP pool might fill up quickly if there are many reboots.
Install via Update application in android or from recovery menu by selecting downloaded zip.
BE NOTED: This Linux firmware is for EM8 box ONLY. It will upgrade bootloader on box so it will output default resolution on HDMI 720p instead of 1080p
Cheers,

Thanks for the great work, couple of questions:
1- Does the bootloader allow to boot into Android with a menu option or does the box lose Android O/S?
I really need certain Android apps.
2- Will there be a version with 1080p boot in future like Finless recent ROMs?

Thanks again
Hi, it's NAND install like MX linux, means Android is gone. I changed to 720p initial output because some users have older TVs which don't support 1080p. Resolution to 1080p can be changed in xbmc.

Hi, thanks. If this is installed, can it be reverted back to Android via recovery? Cheers.
