Does pull request #5202 being merged also mean that Kodi for Android will also get hardware assisted video decoding on Freescale i.MX 6 SoC series soon too?
https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/pull/5202
This pull request have now been merged Kodi for Linux and added support VPU decoding for Freescale i.MX6 on Linux, but what about Android?
I think that was what happened for Amlogic in XBMC, first you added support for hardware video decoding on Linux and then it was ported to Android, right?
I know that Freescale iMX 6 series is a very popular platform, especially among developers due to its versatility, but most seem to focus on Linux support.
There are plenty i.MX6 developer boards out there based on Freescale i.MX6 which supports both Linux and Android today, with Wandboard, Boundary, MarS, RIoTBoard, Sabre, UDOO, and Linksprite all being the most known for making affordable developer boards.
iMX6 consumer devices with Android support include mini-PC's from Utilite, Hiapad, Zealz, TBS, SolidRun, and Shuttle, as well as a lot of Chinese media players.
Can you recommend XBMC users buying iMX6 boxes with Android with the assumption that hardware video decoding will be added to Kodi soon?
