1 Basic requirements
- XBMC for Android is still too early in development to have firm hardware requirements. As such, this is subject to major changes. A conservative estimate would be:
- Something similar in spec to the Pivos XIOS (the development target for the initial Android port)
- A NEON compatible ARM processor (for example: Tegra 1/2 probably won't be supported. Tegra 3 is okay.)
- Android 4.0 or newer (might work on older versions such as 2.3, but this is a conservative estimate after all)
- Hardware decoding support in XBMC is likely a must for HD video playback (720+). Don't expect this to work on any device until someone has specifically tested it and can confirm hardware decoding support for that device.
- Avoid hardware that uses the Allwinner series of chips (such as the Allwinner A10). Development is not going well for these devices.
