MiniMyth2 is dedicated firmware designed to turnaround small-factor ARMv7, ARMv8, i386 and x86_64 small-factor computers into MythTV appliance offering fully functional MythTV frontend.
For platforms supporting PXE boot - MiniMyth2 offers disk-less, zero-effort provisioned, network booted MythTV frontend appliance.
From the software perspective, MiniMyth2 is MythTV frontend with minimal required run-time (Linux kernel, GNU libraries, video/audio/IR remote drivers) allowing to run MythTV frontend with full speed & features on recent hardware from Intel/AMD/Amlogic/Rockchip/Allwinner/Raspbery.
Major goals of project are:
-
Make MythTV frontend zero-effort setup/deployment. Setup of MythTV frontend might be as simple as burning SD card or enabling PXE boot in frontend’s BIOS/EFI.
-
Make graphics/sound/IR remote detection/configuration fully automatic. No any drivers install nor configuration is required for any from 1500+ of graphic supported. The same for audio and IR remotes.
-
Make easy adoption of recent FOSS achievements as base for creating zero-effort provisioned out-of-box ready to use dedicated MythTV appliance. Project is exploiting developments in GNU/Linux area like:
- mainline Linux kernel support for Amlogic/Rockchip/Allwinner/Raspbery SoCs
- Mesa3D Panfrost/Lima as FOSS support for ARM 3D IP
- stateless/stateful V4L2 Video decode (Amlogic VDEC, Rockchip HANTRO/RKVDEC and Allwinner CEDRUS)
- in-kernel IR remote decode for covering wide variety of supported IR remotes
MiniMyth2 is not just another Linux distro which is designed to install on PC hardware and to used as computer running various software. Target scenario with MiniMyth2 is small, disk-less dedicated appliance running MythTV Frontend (and preactically only MythTV Frontend).
