Raspberry Pi 2B for Android TV?

Sun Apr 12, 2020 9:26 pm

Hi everybody!

I got my Raspberry Pi 2B some years ago to run RetroPi, but I've never done anything else with it since. The other day I was wondering if I could use my Pi as a kind of Anroid TV box, and I was happy to find a bunch of videos explaining how to do it. All the videos I've seen are with models 3 and 4, so I wanted to check to see if this project is doable on a 2B. Anyone know?

Thanks!

There is no Official version of AndroidTV released by Google suitable for the Raspberry Pi SBC.

There are two version of the Raspberry Pi 2B SBC, which one do you have ?
