Archlinux image used is the one found on wandboard.org/download community release arch linux.

I expanded the sd card to 30 gigs booting is not a problem.

However, after installing kodi through pacman (i.e. pacman -S kodi) installs without a problem

The issue is when running kodi I get the below crash log:

thanks for the help

[moonman]

you've got a generic kernel with something missing or most likely newer vivante api in it. Nobody patched kodi for that yet.

[trunkz]

Thanks for your reply moonman - i also posted the same thread on kodi's forum and got this response:

You lack permissions to start kodi via the framebuffer device -> head over to arch forum and ask them how that's meant to be.

Any ideas?

Thank you so much!

[WarheadsSE]

So i tried running kodi as root and got the crash log below:

I'll try building an earlier version of kodi and try running that...
