Basic requirements

It is highly recommended for users to not make any hardware purchases in anticipation of running Kodi on Android without first researching the device you want to buy. Before you do buy, make sure multiple people have verified that it works! If in doubt, do not buy any hardware!

• Kodi v17 and later requires Android 5.0 or higher.
• x86 (Intel) or a NEON-compatible ARM-processor, (for example: Nvidia Tegra 3 and newer are fully supported by Kodi, while Tegra 2 and older are not).
• The main aim for the Android port of Kodi is to foremost target media-players/set-top-boxes/sticks that connect to a large screen television and uses a standard remote control as its main interface device, (that is the same market as for HTPC).
• If your device is listed as not working try a non-neon (Tegra 2) unofficial build. These are not supported by Team XBMC:

				SD	720	1080
Various	Various	Allwinner A10	No	SW	No	No	Will choke even on some SD videos with software decoding. Generally seen as "avoid" due to development complications with Allwinner.

G-box	various	AMLogic	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	[It will playback video that is 1080, but seems to be having issues outputting a 1080 signal. http://forum.xbmc.org/showthread.php?tid=140327]
Geniatech	ATV1200	AMLogic	Yes	Yes	Yes	Yes	It will playback video that is 1080, but seems to be having issues outputting a 1080 signal. [1]
Hardkernel	ODROID: U, U2, X, X2	Exynos4412	In progress	SW	SW	SW (see note)	Hardware decoding is being worked on, but even without it can software decode 1080 on U2 and X2 if overclocked with heatsink. Not sure about U and X. This is a VERY powerful ARM device.

SW = Works with software decoding. For many devices this will often be as good as hardware decoding.
