This is a guide on how I setup Kodi on a Raspberry Pi 2 running Arch Linux.
h2. Prepare the Environment
* Install Arch Linux on the Raspberry Pi, see issue #682
* Make sure the system is up to date:
<pre>
pacman -Syu
</pre>
* Install wget:
<pre>
pacman -S wget
</pre>
* Install yaourt to build packages from the AUR, see issue #509
* Edit the boot config file:
<pre>
sudo nano /boot/config.txt
</pre>
#* And increase the amount of GPU memory:
<pre>
gpu_mem=128
</pre>
h2. Install Kodi
* Install the kodi package for the raspberry pi:
<pre>
sudo pacman -S kodi-rbp xorg-xrefresh xorg-xset
</pre>
* Install omxplayer-git from the AUR:
<pre>
yaourt omxplayer-git
</pre>
* Edit the raspberry pi udev rules file:
<pre>
sudo nano /etc/udev/rules.d/raspberrypi.rules
</pre>
#* And add the udev rule to enable typing with a physical keyboard.:
<pre>
SUBSYSTEM=="tty", KERNEL=="tty0", GROUP="tty", MODE="0666"
</pre>
* Enable Kodi at boot:
<pre>
sudo systemctl enable kodi
</pre>
