Can this thing decode H.264 / High def video? If so would make a rather smart xbox media centre replacement...

This looks great, putting an embedded board to good use :)

It would be great for a meadia centre that is for sure.

Haha, ok ya caught me out!! I did fire up Windows Media Center on to this system too but alas the video drivers for the onboard graphics do not play well with Media Center and video playback, there was a problem with video overlays. I didn’t pursue this with Via and maybe they’ll update the graphic driver.
To make it MCE work with the CN13000 board you need a PCI Video Graphics card, something like http://www.scorptec.com.au/product/19290, it works well enough but the board has limited interrupt lines so I had to play a lot to get ensure the video card and turner weren’t sharing the same interrupts to get it stable.
There are reports of Windows Media Center working well on the Via EPIA SP13000 (ie not the CN13000) using the onboard graphics – check out http://deliverator.silverfir.net/?p=271, http://www.pcpro.co.uk/reviews/70410/tranquil-t2esp13000.html and check out the discussions on http://www.epiacenter.com/forums/ on Windows Media Center running on Via EPIA boards and here’s a thread on decoding perf http://www.epiacenter.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=1675.
Hope that helps Jack!! Cheers, Dave

Hey Matt of http://mdavey.wordpress.com/2006/08/09/wcf-and-wpf/ fame, this was not intended to be a benchmark or any projection of perf, just a bit of fun to see what the system was capable of processing.

The messages I send over TCP are attributed oneway WCF messages to the service, about 40 bytes payload, no security on messages or transport, just going over my home networking kit, through a couple of 100Mbps switches etc, nothing special and very little network load. The client was running on my laptop.

I dont do anything to the messages other than write to console. Actually the writing to the console was the main gating factor, if you minimise the console service app then it really takes off.

The demo is just the code I posted at http://blogs.msdn.com/dglover/archive/2006/08/07/690411.aspx and I just ran the debug version on the server.

Cheers Dave
