Maybe the shortest path here is to to a tv build of b2gdroid if you care mostly about front-end contribution.

I agree that b2gdroid is enough for front-end contribution. However we are thinking about using Nexus Player for Gecko-related test / CI as well.

Don't we want to use the reference dev board for that instead?

The dev board we have in hand is still part of partner's product, which makes it much harder to distribute. And the cost of making a product like flame for TV/media stick is high (money/time/distribution channel). We think enable Nexus player will be the easiest way to distribute our work to community.

According to the conversation on IRC, we should leverage the port from cyanogenmod to b2g first.

Nexus ports should *not* be cyanogenmod based, unless for some reason Google hasn't released a port.

According to android website(https://source.android.com/source/build-numbers.html#source-code-tags-and-builds), 5.1.1_r15 is the latest Lollipop version to support Nexus Player.
I think it should be more stable.

PR still contains devices.json. Please make sure the resulting blobfree is workable with all the releases you are listing.

[Farmer Tseng[:fatseng](inactive)]

I remove devices.json and add back atv_base.mk from PR.
