MK808B Plus (not to be confused with the very different MK808 or MK808B), is a small inexpensive ARM-based Android "stick" hardware that uses an Amlogic S805 SoC chipset. MK808B Plus is also able to run Kodi on Linux using unofficial third-party firmware images of example OpenELEC.
While the integrated WiFi support in it is not great, for about $35 USD, the MK808B Plus is a fairly good value as a decent 1080p set-top box device that can decode most popular used video codecs today, including HEVC (H.265).
Installing Kodi for Android
Most users can simply install the normal Android version of Kodi onto the MK808B Plus.
Installing OpenELEC with Kodi for Linux
MK808B Plus is also able to run Kodi on Linux using unofficial third-party firmware images of example OpenELEC.

Notes
- HEVC (H.265) hardware decoding requires a nightly development build of Kodi.
