For more info and help, check out the XBMC Raspberry Pi support forum |
The Raspberry Pi is an ARM powered, credit card sized computer developed in the UK by the Raspberry Pi Foundation for educational and hobbyist purposes. The low power computer is mass produced at very low prices and the high number of units sold gives it massive community support. As an XBMC HTPC, the Pi supports full 1080P video playback, supports most major codecs, most if not all XBMC add-ons, and a reasonably responsive GUI.
Installing XBMC
The easiest way to install XBMC on an R-Pi is to use one of these pre-made OS/XBMC packages:
- OpenELEC - [ Installing ] - [ FAQ ] - [ Help forum ]
- Raspbmc - [ Installing: Windows, Mac OS X, Linux ] - [ FAQ ] - [ User guide ] - [ Help forum ]
- XBian - [ Why XBian? ] - [ Installing ] - [ FAQ ] - [ Starters guide ] - [ Forum ]
You can also install XBMC on Raspbian:
- Raspbian - http://www.raspbian.org/RaspbianXBMC
For increased speed, you can also install OpenElec on a USB stick:
History
Team-XBMC developers ported XBMC to the Raspberry Pi using beta boards supplied by the RPi Foundation, and its development and performance continues to improve and evolve.

Notes
- ↑ Though the Model A doesn't have an RJ45 Ethernet port, it can connect to a network by using a user supplied USB Ethernet or Wi-Fi adapter.
