 And we're here at the NERA Connect and who are you? Actually I'm from Haisilga, I'm a Hermit. And you're showing right here the Poplar board right here made by Hopron. So you have this board right here? Yeah, exactly. So what's special about this board? Actually this is the first tube. If you can come close it to the mic while I film. Okay. Yeah, we'll close it. Yeah, so this is the first 96 ball for Q-Edition. It's a typical set box chip set. And it can support some features like a 4K video playback, HDR and dubivision, HDR. And also you can see right now it can support Android TV. So here actually the Android TV video is playing. So can you use the remote on it? Sure. So you can see actually that is the YouTube UI on Android TV. And there's a lot of 4K video so I can just choose one and it will be played. So this is the full Android TV? It's the full Android TV actually. And so this supports 4K 16, H265, HDR, VB9, H264, H265. HDR, HLG, HLG and dubivision HDR. Nice. And it has two USB ports, one USB 3. Can we show a little bit? Actually that is USB 3 and that is USB 2. And there's PCIe. What can you do with PCIe? Yeah, I think you can support some PCIe Wi-Fi and PCIe storage, big storage. And with that, that means you also can take it to be like a PVR devices. No need the GPU? Yeah, of course there is a high performance GPU. Is the GPU inside? Yeah, it's Mali-T720. But no need to have external GPU, that's not possible. I don't think so, but I think the GPU inside actually is powerful enough for such... Or is PCIe is possible to use fast networking? Yes, you can say that. From 10 gigabits maybe? Yeah, maybe. It depends on the use case. Actually I think a good guy just think about the use there to do some extension. So this chipset, the high 7680-98CV200, is mass production? Yeah, of course. It's quad-core A53. And it's target to medium to high end set-up box? I think it's kind of a mainstream product. It's focused on the IPTV set-box and also including some OTT box. Also, we actually have another part number which is designed for the cast set-box. So here at Linaro Connect and the home group, right? The Linaro home group, what is the support that you're getting? Or what is the work towards this product being released? What is the target? The home group is working a lot with Android TV and all this stuff? Yeah. So I think Digital Home actually does two lead projects. One is for the... We call it Open SDK which will combine all these open source components together to be a platform for leading set-box solution. And another lead project is focused on Android TV. So actually you can see that we already get Android TV running on the 96 board. So basically we try to work with Google to provide some kind of reference design for Android TV on the 96 board. So this is the 96 board TV platform specification? Yeah. The first one. Actually it's the only one. The only board in this specification? Yeah. So why do you design the ports here, here and here? Is the best way to design a standard? I think, you know, for TV edition, you actually follow the EE spec. So for EE spec, there is, you know, it's a big form factor that can have more ports, more devices to connect. So there's enough USB, there's a full-size gigabit internet? Yeah. There's a standard power? Yeah. Standard system? Yeah. Yeah. And audio? Audio. And actually that is, I think it's a fine optical audio. Optical audio, yes. And here you can see that there is a low-speed expansion, the typical linear interface to connect to some external device. And you can check that. Actually that is very important. That is the DTV interface. You can connect to the tuner board. So with the tuner board, that means that Ninesh's board can support some traditional digital TV application. So it's possible to connect to a tuner board? Yeah, of course. Digital TV, even MPEG 4, 4K, everything? Definitely. Yeah. Right now, actually we already get the DVT2, DVT2, DVS2, all these tuner board already. So for end users, they can buy the portable with those tuner and they can just develop some digital TV application on there. So there's Android TV. How about other Linux? So for other Linux, I think we try in digital home group, we think about maybe OpenSCG is a good platform for those other Linux set-box solutions. So is it RDK? It's not RDK. Actually for RDK, I think it's still limited to Comcast RDK. But for OpenSCG, we share some components between RDK and OpenSCG, but OpenSCG is more open to, I think it's just combined all the open source project like Wayland, Tishima and we just build OpenSCG on some typical standard video interface like V4 or 2. And for Audio ELSA, for graphic, it will be DRM KMS. So that will be quite typical standard interface. And build on that will be just like Tishima support video playback and Wayland support the video window system and the graphic. And with that, you can build some web engine on that. So with OpenSCG, I think everybody can take OpenSCG to develop some set-box solution. So there's a code with hardware acceleration V4 Linux too? Yeah. Everything is OK? Yeah. And the Linaro guys are working on it? Sure. It's a joint project between Linaro, HiSilica and Hope Run. And everything is stable now? Stable, ready to launch? I think for developer purpose it's stable. Yeah. But people cannot install Ubuntu, Fedora, some other Linux like this? It's not for this? No, we didn't do that. But I think for the developer, they can just use the open source kernel on Poplar to port all this, you know, Fedora, Ubuntu, they can do by themselves. So it's not only for TV? Of course. It can be in a drone? Yeah. It can be in a PC? PC, I think it's OK. Joe, maybe we have to make a small port. And in a fridge or in a car or whatever, maybe? Or something else? This is TV. I hope so. I think for developer, they can think about that. They can just develop some new use cases and all up to them. And so how much is the price? The price of the motherboard may be above $80. $80? Yeah, above $80. That's a good price, no? It's a pretty good price. It should be very popular? Yes, I think so. I think if we just put developer in the middle of Poplar, that will be, you know, popular. So we hope that Poplar will tend to be popular. That's why you named Poplar, right? Yes. To make it popular. Yeah. So how soon? Shipping? Maybe next month. Next month? Yeah, maybe next month. So you will be very busy to put in a factory, right? To get them out? Yeah. Cool. All right. And everything looks good now on Android TV? Actually, again. Everything is smooth? Yeah. Actually, you know, actually, this is the orange Android TV user experience. There's different channels over there. And you can see there is a lot of applications, including YouTube, Google Movie, and some... Is it possible to customize the UI? Like operate their tier? Yeah. For operators, of course, they can just build the operator with that. But for us, you know, we are associated with just providing the platform today. All right. And there are already some customers out there with high-silicon Android TV? Yeah. As many are delivered? There are two or three projects already get started. And there are lots of customers just asked for the Android TV solution for the operating market. So Google is a member in Linaro, but do they provide support to help you to make this? Yes. They give us a lot of help. Yeah? Yeah. And does this work in China? Android TV? No. No? Not yet? Yeah. Not yet? Not yet. Because there's a lot of Google services. And China is... Yes. In China mainland. And so right now I think that for Google guys, they try to expand the Android TV service to other markets like Europe market and maybe North American, something like that. And I think because of the operator tier, so the operator is quite interesting on Android TV. So we expect that Android TV will be more and the more operator use customer will try to use the baseline. How about Project Treble and the automatic updates? Will this be possible here? Are you going to be Android 8? What is the version of Android right now? Actually right now we already get the Android all running. So on this board... Is it already Android 8? Yeah. We implement the Treble, you know, get the new hell layer and just like, you know, just like you heard this morning, we will follow the Treble rule and make sure the Android all running on popular. And then when there's Treble, that means forever will be updated automatically? Well I think maybe it lasted that there will be, I think it's kind of a wish. I don't think it's reality right now. But you know, it's Google. So if they try to do it, I think they may make it. They make it easy for the community. Yeah. They make it maybe easy for the narrow. And I think for High Silicon, maybe too cheap to provide support updates. At last, it's make easy for Google. So they can upgrade or enjoy version by themselves maybe Sunday. So you will have support until Android 18 for 10 years. It's up to Google.
