    Also, I kindly recommend using  OSMC as Kodi better than OpenElec.

     

    I wouldn't say OSMC is better. It is different.  And it probably fits better for some use cases but not for others. 

    In general, OpenELEC is considered a dead project, LibreELEC can be a better option. It has a vibrant community and it is in an active development. 

  2. @guidol I suspected that but I've just received the confirmation from FriendlyArm

    Yes,the NanoPi Duo2  is compatible with Mini Shield for NanoPi Duo,the GPIO of  NanoPi Duo2  are the same as  NanoPi Du o but NanoPi Duo2 is longer than NanoPi Duo about 5mm

    So a Mini Shield can be used with a the model as well.  


    I'm too lazy to copy-paste images here but when I tried to compare pinout diagrams of duo and duo2 there have been flipped upside down. So even an image editor would not help me to compare them. Check the images. 

  3. Gigabit does not make sense. I'm afraid you will not get more than 20mbps out of your board. This is a very very optimistic expectation,  10 is a more realistic number.  OpenVPN is secure but there is a significant overhead. 

     

    Having a hardware encryption can make your board slightly faster probably, but definitely will make it cooler.

    2 mounting holes on the same side will make any heatsink design "mechanically interesting"

    This is exactly the reason why I think it is just a prototype or they have a different purpose (I hope not). 

  5. @olivluca I'm sorry for your confusion. I'm not an expert.  but from my personal experience if we are speaking about Linux-base Kodi player RPI is the best option so far.  Allwiner support is at a very early stage still,  Amlogic support is more mature but still experimental. I have got no Rockchip boards so far. I think it would be better to ask on a Kodi or LibreELEC forums.
