I also will be very curious to see such a receipe

the reason why I bought an A20 with its mali component was to be able to see it running XBM (with HDMI CEC) faster than the one which works on my RaspBerry.

So far I havent seen any way to to it. On Debian XBMC can be install and lauchn but it is deseperatly slow, completely unusable because there is no proper use of hardware acceleration (while it is usable on a basic RaspBerry with low cost components).

So, I would say, for now as far as I know it is not ready

I will be happy when I will be wrong here but XBMC cannot be used on an Olinuxino A20

And that information is : XBMC for linux on Allwinner devices is NOT READY FOR USE!

so if you buy an OlinuxIno becaue you want to use it for XBMC, you're done (at least for now). It seems a CubiBox is a better choice
