While we're on the (off-)topic, how much RAM does the HDR Fox T2 have anyway? I'm gonna guess something low like 64MB or 128MB without cheating and looking at a spec sheet.

According to https://wiki.hummy.tv/w/images/4/4f/HDR_FOX_T2_Board.png there is 2x128MB + 64MB on-board.. the OS only sees 128MB, but that's specifically done via a boot parameter from the boot loader.
Code:
humax# cat /proc/cmdline
root=/dev/mtdblock0 ro mem=128M macaddr=DC:D3:21:xx:xx:xx console=ttyS0,115200 bcmsata2=1Would the 64MB would be fitted if it wasn't used? I doubt it.
In this Preliminary Hardware Data Module for BCM7405 (obvs they meant "Preliminary Hardware Module Data"), we read in the section "Memory Controller", where I take UMA as "uniform memory access", ie a single linearly addressable block:

So it seems that the 128MB is available to the general-purpose OS while the 64MB might be separately addressable and perhaps assigned to the co-processor modules in the BCM7405 for DVB demux and video processor buffering.
