Most supported boards with hw acceleration

[Ake]

Hi, everyone.

 

I'm looking for board which can be used for playing video in kiosk mode, therefore it must have video hardware acceleration available.

 

I've looked through supported devices and created short-list:

A20-based:

• Olimex Lime 2 and its modifications
• BananaPi/BananaPi Pro
• Cubietruck

H3-based:

• OrangePi PC/Plus/+2E and other similar modifications (have one, is overheating common problem for them?)

Rockchip-based:

• MiQi
• Tinkerboard S

A64-based (with original/legacy kernel):

• Pine64/Rock64/Sopine A64
• OrangePi Win/Plus

+ Hummingboards

 

Am I right that these boards are able to play video with hardware acceleration and what board will be more suitable for this purpose?

whereas this thread isn't fully up to date when it comes to mainline for allwinner.. and @JMCC does some work on the XU4

Thanks. So, as I understood, only A20 & H3 have well-tested solution for video decoding at the moment.

Rockchip is pretty stable, I played video through chrome for several days without issue.  @JMCC scripts may need updated for Bionic or Stretch use.
