[vdr] vdr on allwinner A20

2014-06-14 Thread cedric.dew...@telfort.nl

The video driver is a weak point. It's strong enough to play my SD content with 
VLC, but not when I enable deinterlacing or postprocessing. It's not at the top 
of my list to solve, because it's enough for the SD digitenne recordings I have.
I think the drivers will improve in the future, so I just have to be patient.
The CPU / USB / SATA is impressive, It's fast enough to record 7 SD streams 
from 2 different DVB-T receivers, and watch an 8th stream. But this will only 
work if the storage directory is on a SATA drive, the internal micro SD slot is 
extremely slow. An apt-get install cycle takes a very long time, even with a 
class 10 uSD card.

Kind regards,
Cedric

How does it work so far? I've looked at Allwinner stuff before but I
wasn't sure if there were stable drivers for the Mali 400 GPU. I know
it can do 1080p, which makes it a good cheap htpc but only if it has
stable drivers. I also wondered if it has deinterlacers as well for
1080i content. I don't know if the A20 is strong enough to deinterlace
with only CPU muscle.

There are plenty of Allwinner-based mini-pc boards out there so it's
easily possible his device is one of those and not a tablet.

 You are correct. Its an olimex OLinuXino A20. This is the product page:
 https://www.olimex.com/Products/OLinuXino/A20/A20-OLinuXino-MICRO-4GB/open-source-hardware

 It's a debian based image, as can be downloaded here:

That's what I figured. At a very minimum I would need something that
can handle 1080i with a decent deinterlacer used, 1920x1080 hdmi out,
surround sound (via hdmi out). Basically something on par with Nvidia
vdpau. Hardware isn't the problem though, seems the only thing lacking
is the software and maybe in time that will exist/mature.
