XBMC / Kodi on Linux/RK3288

[peba]

Yes, should work, but there may be missing drivers for sound or WIFI and fan control. I got it working on the Ugoos UT3S with some small restrictions. Ask Hph if they plan to release an updated Linux version special built for your device.

Wonder if this will work on mine RK3288 box from Hph?

It should work.
You can build your own kernel, Mac_L1 also made a ffplay for Linux.

Thanks MO,

Do you have any plans to do dual boot.. Debian/Android.. It's would be great!

And thanks again!

I'll have to experiment again with Linux.
But since it looks like video playback is working well, I'll test it soon.

If you build the kernel for try it out, can you share it's with me, i don't know how to build and I want to try the Debian.. Many thanks

In the meantime you can try the new Android v1.9 HPH firmware released.
It should work quite good and Kodi/NTMC runs great.

I think I might only try Debian later this week since it will take a lot of time to test.
Linux will work much better on a RK3399
The HPH RK3399 details is on their site, can't wait for it to be released.

Was already to think for try out your new firmware, hopes it's work great.. BTW tell us how great Debian work on Rk3288 when you have time to try it out

Why do you say Linux will run better on a RK3399 device?? Isn't it a lowered powered SoC?
thanks, MO

Nope its the new Beast coming Get your wallet open now...

I want PROOF this time........

[clarkss12]

OH, I was thinking of the 3229 SoC. What are the specs of the 3399??

[RISCy Dude]

Have a look here.
There is better info out there, but I'm on my phone and searching and pasting is a PIA, so I went with the first I found.

Good info, thanks.

I wouldn't go that far. Cortex-A72 at 28nm node isn't anything super exciting. It will be limited to 2Ghz frequency and that will not get you much more performance than Cortex-A17 in RK3288. Proof. (Note: info mention 1.51GHz frequncy but I'm almost certain that this was read from Corex-A53 cores and Cortec-A72 is working at 2GHz). Performance boost is visible mostly for AES encryption thanks to ARMv8 new instructions. HTML and JavaScript doesn't get any significant boost. Multithreading is even worse.

Another strange thing is that this SoC was announced at CES 2016. And year later it isn't still available. RK3288 was announced at CES 2014 and delivered to market in Q3 2014. For RK3399 it will be Q2 2017.

But might be true that RK3399 will be better with linux than RK3288 because RockChip is putting much effort into developing mainstream kernel version 4.4.
