Now its time to ask again. The first STB with this Chipset and OpenGL ES 2.0 and 1.3Ghz is availible. This have more power then raspberry pi

nope, not being worked on at the moment.
EDIT: and I worked with Broadcom, not for them, there is a difference

I would make a guess that these boxes have a tightly locked down OS and hardware, and don't have the level of adoption for someone to put effort into hacking the hardware.
I suspect that the next version of the Raspberry Pi, like the Roku 3, will be based on this family of SOC's, which means open hardware and drivers.
If you want to start hacking this thing, please do.

The OS is Opensource, only the driver are closed source. You can find a Build enviorment for Engima2 for this kind of boxes on openaaf.com, but i'am only a java developer and i have no idea about hardware hacking and c / c++ otherwise i can do anything on this boxes.

@ Davilla, you're a legend here so I ask...
With the VU+ Duo 2 about to be released that features Open GL ES 2.0,
is it even possible to port XBMC to these new type STB's
&
if possible, who can I 'sponsor' with a box to do it?? :-)
peace

I don't know the answer to that, but remember, there's a big difference between what is possible and what is practical ;)

While it might have all the bits xbmc needs, you also have to think if the API's are present that you can compile against. Otherwise, it just becomes too difficult to attempt and is impractical.

I started commpilation, as opengl driver will come soon for some of this HW.
