Back in 2011, SolidRun unveiled the CuBox, a miniature open source development platform based on Marvell Armada 510 SoC (88AP510) and aimed at applications such as multimedia, set-top-box, network attached storage (NAS), thin client, digital signage, automation… SolidRun has now announced an upgraded version called CuBox Pro based on the same platform but with 2 GB RAM, and a redesigned casing.

You spelled XBMC wrong, as it should be XBMC, not “XMBC”.

The only Cubox systems available anywhere I’ve seen currently, 2015, are based on the Freescale Imx6, not a Marvell SOC. I’ve not seen any Marvell systems at all, but have several of the Imx6 systems which work quite well.
