Kodi Wiki on Odroid

The best option for Kodi is to use the LibreELEC distribution made by user wrxtasy at the Hardkernel Forums. However the official Ubuntu image from HardKernel also includes a modified version of Kodi (though often outdated and can not be easily updated).

LibreELEC Home Page

LibreELEC runs Kodi, an award-winning free and open source (GPL) software media player and entertainment hub for digital media. For more info see http://kodi.tv.

The base system has been designed and built from the ground up to be as efficient as possible – consuming only tiny disk and memory footprints, and providing cutting edge hardware support to deliver a set-top box experience.

LibreELEC supports many of the popular HTPC hardware solutions, from Raspberry Pi 0/1/2/3 to Wetek, Odroid C2 and iMX6 (both via community support), and Intel based machines using Nvidia, AMD and Intel graphics solutions.
