As far as I know sigma is mips based, right?. Check www.mipsandroid.com. Used this to run it on an LCD TV system that uses pnx8xxx SoC's which has a mips4k inside. Initial port of the kernel is not a big thing to do but using OpenCore might need more work.

Hi, Sen.
It seems that Sigma Design has done this for their turnkey business. But, I am afraid it may not be very stable because few of STB vendor are using it. You can find more details on their homepage.

tommy; yes, android ported to mips based systems. Current release is donut and it has a mips "optimized" dalvik vm. I run it on a mips4kec with 128MB ddr using a 1366x768 lcd panel.
if you have a kernel running on the sigma based system it is not that difficult to get the basic stuff running. but it will
take more time (depends on the system design ) to audio and video running.

I don't have anything specifics on sigma designs android but I have android running on a MIPS based lcd tv (PNX8543 SoC).
I replied on the "[android-porting] Android port to MIPS arch" mail thread, also added a patch file containing the android specifics
I used on a MIPS4Kec.
Hope it provides and intial step. Give it a try, let me know what happend.
