Peter Steenbergen's personal blog at j1nx.nl covers hardware and systems. Since 2012, 3 different Hacker News readers have linked it 4 times. The last post was in 2019, but the archive is still widely read.
Too few sampled comments (3) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
HN commenters link Peter Steenbergen's blog as a running list of cheap ARM set-top boxes and Android TV hardware, covering Allwinner and Amlogic devices and their Linux and XBMC support. The comments cite it without judging the writing.

According to what XBMC devs say - it doesnt work at this point, and there is some online drama going on ;-) Although i would be super happy to see progress on this. One of the links you gave me: "Allwinner officially only supports the Mali GPU driver on the Android platform only." :(
