Hi Christian, thank you for the information! Yes, I eventually decided not to use XBMC on hardware without 3D, and use qtmediahub instead.
And, I have run XBMC on pandaboard and found out that XBMC requires a lot of CPU(often 90%+). So on hardware without 3D, it is impossilbe to run...
What does "impossible to run" here mean?
I've certainly run xbmc on my panda boards and on both video, audio etc was fine. The interface was displaying at 1080p as would be expected and not unusable. Sure lots of CPU might be in use, but it's not like one is going to be running xbmc and compiling kernels at -j16 or something.

Thank you, Ricardo! By your experience,do you think xbmc can perform well on boards without hardware OpenGL ES acceleration?
I don't know if Ricardo answered, but unless XBMC has a non-composited 2D mode, I think it's unlikely. You're asking a lot of the CPU, and I don't think the memory is fast enough to handle all the copies. -- Christian Robottom Reis, Engineering VP Brazil (GMT-3) | [+55] 16 9112 6430 | [+1] 612 216 4935 Linaro.org: Open Source Software for ARM SoCs
