For the 12.01 cycle the Linaro Platforms team is pleased to announce the availability of the new linarotv-xbmc based image. This combines the xbmc media server project with linaro's leb to result in a "works out of the box" arm based media server image.
It can be found at http://snapshots.linaro.org/oneiric/linaro-o-linarotv-xbmc/
Currently the best experience can be found on Panda/Panda ES however boards with hardware video acceleration enabled should work well. We welcome feedback and suggestions on the image. Support is on a as "best can" basis. Bugs if found should be written against linaro-ubuntu in lauchpad.
Enjoy!
Hi Tom, Can Linarotv-XBMC work well on boards with hardware video acceleration but WITHOUT hardware OpenGL ESv2 acceleration? (BTW, the board has 2D hardware acceleration) Thanks in advance!

Not right now, as our initial goal was to get it working fully accelerated at Panda. We're planning on updating it to Eden beta2 in the next few weeks, and I hope we get it at least generic enough for other use cases.
Problem right now is that using or not opengles is a build-time decision, so we might need some tweaks at the packaging side (to provide both), or enabling run-time detection.
Cheers,
Thank you, Ricardo! By your experience,do you think xbmc can perform well on boards without hardware OpenGL ES acceleration?
or have you ever done such experiment? 在 2012-1-26 上午11:03，"Ricardo Salveti" ricardo.salveti@linaro.org写道：

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.
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.

I mean on hardware without 3D support, XBMC runs very very slow. AFAIK, the majority of platforms for STBs will not have 3D hardware support.
But platforms for Smart-TVs, theire hardwares are good, for example, 4-core SXG. On these platforms, XBMC can run well, I think.

Just tyring to unpack linaro-xbmc with linaro-media-create tool on 2GB SD card but when creating rootfs I get error no space left on device. Do I need bigger SD card or I'm doing something wrong?

Yes, you need a bigger SD card.
I'm using now 8G SD card but appear another problem. During linaro-media-create I got: Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable distribution that some required packages have not yet been created or been moved out of Incoming. The following information may help to resolve the situation:
The following packages have unmet dependencies: libc6-dev : Depends: libc6 (= 2.13-20ubuntu5) but 2.13-20ubuntu5.1 is to be installed E: Broken packages Cleaning up ...Done proc has been unmounted Traceback (most recent call last): File "/usr/bin/linaro-media-create", line 163, in <module> verified_files, *hwpacks) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/linaro_image_tools/media_create/chroot_utils.py", line 79, in install_hwpacks install_hwpack(chroot_dir, hwpack_file, hwpack_force_yes or hwpack_verified) File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/linaro_image_tools/media_create/chroot_utils.py", line 100, in install_hwpack cmd_runner.run(args, as_root=True, chroot=chroot_dir).wait() File "/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/linaro_image_tools/cmd_runner.py", line 100, in wait raise SubcommandNonZeroReturnValue(self._my_args, returncode) linaro_image_tools.cmd_runner.SubcommandNonZeroReturnValue: Sub process "['chroot', '/tmp/tmpPFtRei/binary', 'linaro-hwpack-install', '/hwpack_linaro-lt-panda-x11-base_20120221-1_armel_supported.tar.gz']" returned a non-zero value: 100
I'm using Ubuntu 11.10. Seems some dependencies are met but be honest I'm lost ;) Thanks for any help.

hi, Where does XBMC output its video stream? to X11/fb? or other? thanks!
