Actually they are, you just have to install them yourself:
Code:
wilmer@panda:~$ dpkg -l 'lib*omap4*dev'
ii libegl1-sgx-omap4-dev 1.7~git0f0b25f.3-1 PowerVR SGX540 EGL libraries for OMAP4, development files
ii libgles1-sgx-omap4-dev 1.7~git0f0b25f.3-1 PowerVR SGX540 OpenGL|ES 1.x libraries for OMAP4, development files
ii libgles2-sgx-omap4-dev 1.7~git0f0b25f.3-1 PowerVR SGX540 OpenGL|ES 2.x libraries for OMAP4, development files@hfkou: Why --enable-tegra? Sounds like a completely different platform..

Just saw this new on DealExtreme today:
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/x9-itv-2-5-hdd-1080p-full-hd-internet-tv-box-with-mtv-game-64005
TC8901, HDMI, Remote, LAN, WiFi, USB, similar look as the ATV2.

TC8901 don't have mali gpu ... so no go

The TCC890x series (including TCC8901) DOES in fact have the Mali GPU (Mali-200 specifically)
Its the same as whats in the HDX Bone

So that box should be able to run XBMC arm port?
- McGeagh - 2011-04-27 16:42
Not at the moment because we dont have none-X supported yet So far only Phusho has the relevant changes to make it work (correct me if im wrong)

actually not 8901 don't have but 8902 and 8903 have mali gpu
we are official tcc users so i have direct contacts with telechips ....difference between 8902/3 and 8900 is that they don't have lvds interface and 8902 don't have serial ata ....
and HDX Bone is 8900 chip I have one
All chips are pin to pin compatible

Anyone have tried with an Amlogic based device? I just discovered that SoC producer because some interesting price/performance tablets using their chips and there seems to be some dirty cheap boxes that can be fun to try to hack. If will prefer not to buy one of those blindy but if noone have tried them I probably will go for it and see what I can get.

Amlogic have their own OpenLinux Arm Wiki with lots of info, don't know if it was setup by them (their commercial site has next to nothing), the platform section seems to imply they are packing Cortex A9 with Mali400 on some of the chips.
The Amlogic AML8726-M is a Cortex A9 with Mali400 GPU , there might be some stuff out there, some of the known Amlogic media boxes on the market are older chipsets based off the 86xx series.
Some Amlogic players offer the source code like the Ferguson Ariva HDplayer 200a.

Didn't knew about that Ariva players, thanks for the tip.
I have been reading about 8726 because I have been considering to buy a tablet based on it. Now I found a cheap chinese player based on it, I'm considering buying it for trying some hacking and get it running vanilla arm linux distribution. The only thing I miss in the device is an ethernet port, but I'm probably go for it anyway.
By the way, yeah, the sources web is official from Amlogic, so good to see this SoC producer shows some respect for GPL, ot like Rockchip and others...
