How To Install Kodi on a Raspberry Pi 2

I currently using Kodi (XBMC) on AppleTV2,  MacBook Pro and Android Samsung a5. Next step is switching to Raspberry Pi 2. First generation was not so interesting cause processing power and the RAM was not enough for ATV2 exchanging. Second is perfect – specs of the Raspberry Pi model 2 are five times better in processing power and twice the RAM.

List of hardware for set up:

• Raspberry Pi 2 Model B Project Board if you need some design toy – put in on some case.
• 2A Power Supply (in my case not needed cause I’m using USB hub with Power Adapter)
• High-Speed HDMI Cable
• microUSB cable
• 8GB (or more) class 10 MicroSD Card
• SD Card / MicroSD Card USB Reader
• Wireless / USB keyboard or mouse

It is enough for start.

OpenELEC only system:

1. Download and install SDFormatter.
2. Plug Card in CardReader and Quick Format it.
3. Download the current OpenELEC release image and UnZip it.
4. Create Card in Terminal.app:

   diskutil list | grep -v disk0 | tail +2

   /dev/disk1
     #:                       TYPE NAME                    SIZE       IDENTIFIER
      0:               FDisk_partition_scheme              *8.0 GB     disk1
      1:                 DOS_FAT_32 UNTITLED                8.0 GB     disk1s1

   diskutil unmountDisk /dev/diskX

   sudo dd if=OpenELEC-Generic.x86_64-6.0.0.img of=/dev/rdiskX bs=4m
   
   diskX - replace with your disk number (in my case it is disk1)

   sync

5. Unplug card and put it on Raspberry Pi 2. Then – plug all wires in. Last one is – power cable.
6. Wait for 5 to 10 mins for finishing setup. A welcome screen will come up with some simple steps to follow.

P.S. I don’t using keyboard or mouse. Just Kore.
