Matchstick is currently running a Kickstarter campaign for their very cheap HDMI stick with Firefox OS which features an open bootloader.

Wondering what is the chance of seeing a XBMC/Kodi ported to it and run under Firefox OS on ARM as this stick comes already rooted?
Someone unpacked and analysed its firmware and it looks like based on Android 4.2.2 and uses latest Rockchip RK3066 kernel (3.0.36)
http://www.matchstick.tv/developers/docu...stick.html
For only $18(US) the Matchstick hardware is based on Rockchip RK3066 SoC with Dual-Core CPU, 1GB RAM, and 4GB NAND.
Previously codenamed "Mozilla Netcast" the product is otherwise kind-of essentially an open Chromecast without mirroring functionality.

Matchstick.tv claim that the platform is totally open source software and open source hardware.
Mozilla normally doesn’t allow native C++ applications to run on Firefox OS 1.4 however Matchstick is suppose to be rooted by default?
