We have $80 retail smartphones that blow this chip out of the water, so I have no doubts you can make a very good performing $20 Flutter stick. It's just that currently, it takes about 10 years for any sort of mobile throwaway hardware to get some sort of open source support that would make this possible for the home tinkerer.


Rockchip - the maker of the rk3036 CPU are pretty good with their open source: https://github.com/rockchip-linux

I'm interested in things that plug in to HDMI.

This for example is $150 https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/X99-TV-BOX-4K-UHD-RK3399-4GB-32G... and uses the newer rk3399 chip http://rockchip.wikidot.com/rk3399
