In the first part of our tutorial we built OpenELEC for Raspberry Pi from sources. Now it’s time to create a bootable SD card and get OpenELEC and XBMC running!

The first Rasperry Pi's boards have been shipped to their new owners and in response to high demand for an OpenELEC/XBMC image we have merged our RPi development work into our public github repository. The OpenELEC RPi project code that you can download has already been run by the XBMC team on pre-production Raspberry Pi boards so we know it can be used to build a working system; although we also know there are some issues that need solving and the complete package needs optimising.
We are happy to announce our first ARM port and support for RaspBerry Pi. Many thanks to the XBMC Team member Edgar (gimli) Hucek and the whole XBMC dev team for supporting us with this!
This is our first ARM build and is early days but it spells yet another suite of current and future hardware that OpenELEC will support. In the future you can expect to see more and more capable ARM based hardware at low cost coming onto the market and OpenELEC will be with you all the way to integrate these devices into your home.
From today the Njoy Live TV application is available in the official XBMC add-on repository from version Eden Beta 3 and up. The add-on makes it possible to watch directly live digital SD and HD payTV from your TV subscription into XBMC.
We are happy to announce that from today we start a new partnership with Njoy Digital, Netherlands.

Njoy handles the European Distribution and R&D Centre of the Anysee product line and are manufacturer of streaming products and media players.
Next Generation Platforms: CedarTrail D2700 + Nvidia GT520M - We are optimized already!
We are happy to announce OpenELEC runs on the nextgen CedarTrail + Nvidia GT520M plattforms.
The development version of OpenELEC now includes work from the libaacs project on videolan.org
In our latest development builds we have included some patches which should improve our Fusion builds but will also affect all other builds. We have included the latest work from FernetMenta and others.
We are pleased to announce that we have a new partner - Xtreamer and more specifically, their Ultra platform which is an ideal partner for OpenELEC.
Xtreamer have just released a custom SSD for the Ultra platform which includes OpenELEC pre-installed along with Xtreamer's own Ultra OS. It's a 16GB module that runs in a tiny mini-PCIe slot, so it's very small but still super fast. The installation of OpenELEC is the version specifically built for the Xtreamer, so all features of the machine will run out-of-the-box.
