The basic hardware you will need is <br />
* the R-Pi board itself<br />
* a power supply (Micro-USB, 5V, 1200 mA)<br />
* a SDHC memory card to install the software. (Because video decoding is more resource-intensive than many other operations, it may be more important to have a fast/high quality memory card for Kodi than for other uses.)<br />
