The basic hardware you will need is

  • the R-Pi board itself
  • a power supply (Micro-USB, 5V, 1200 mA)
  • 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.)
