With Allwinner H3, HiMedia Q2 3rd Gen supports H.265 and H.264 4K video decoding in hardware, 4K video point-to-point HDMI output, and supports SmartColor display technology to provide more vivid and eye-pleasing visual effects for videos and still images. Recently, Chinese OTT box brand HiMedia upgraded its popular Q2 smart OTT box to the third generation, packing Allwinner H3 quad-core processor. The Third-Gen HiMedia Q2 Comes with Allwinner H3 Quad-Core Inside press release Smart OTT Box prices with the H3 are already starting at $32 in China making it possible for ordinary consumers to enjoy the stunning full 4K visual experience with affordable price points. As H3 is including H.265/H.264 4K video processing in hardware, and 4K video point-to-point output, it is outperforming many high-end OTT solutions in the market. So in September 2014, Allwinner launched the H8 octa-core to grab more market share of smart OTT box market segment priced $50 to $80, and now with the advent of Allwinner H3, a full 4K OTT solution is targeting the OTT box market segment priced $35 to $50. Allwinner’s long-term commitment to that market became clear last March with Allwinner is going for platform standardization by joining the new Digital Home Group of Linaro to prevent fragmentation of effort in the TV/STB/media space . Thanks to all who helped with this in any way.After the A80 octa-core was released for smart OTT box market in 2014, A80 nearly dominated the professional gaming box market in China by virtue of its best features and performance.

Support for other SoCs is planned to be added later, when kernel support is good enough and appropriate GPU driver is available.

I also accept suggestion which drivers should be enabled in kernel config and which boards should be added. Hw_dec_ffmpeg branch on my github: GitHub - jernejsk/ at hw_dec_ffmpeg (same as above with work in progress, source for images linked here) They are pain to maintain and are not compatible with iwd.Īllwinner branch on LE github: GitHub - LibreELEC/ at allwinner (official branch for AW SoCs) Others limitations, like drivers for RTL8189ETV and RTL8189FTV are unlikely to being resolved anytime soon, if ever. Some of those limitations are already worked upon and I will probably add patches soon after they are posted and work well enough. HDMI audio passthrough doesn't work yet (it might in some cases)Īs you can see, most limitations are kernel related. no temperature sensor for SoC, so it may get a bit hot (driver is WIP)

no eMMC install script, but it should be easy to port it from old OpenELEC images OrangePi onboard wifi chips are not supported (RTL8189ETV and RTL8189FTV) deinterlacing is not yet implemented (combing is visible)

Once you prepared base image, take the latest update for your SoC here. OrangePi Plus/Plus 2 (same image for both boards)īoards with less than 1 GiB of RAM are not supported! Images for following boards are available here: After a lot of work, which isn't finished by far, I can present you first, somehow usable, images.
