After a huge update over the last 2 weekend, Kodi 17.0 is now capable of running on the HD51................ depending on the Image.
The EMMC has been reworked to contain room for 4 images plus a Kodi swap file.
From comments, it runs apparently faster than the Vu+ Ultimo 4K Kodi implementation........ so something to look forward to....................
I have just run an image build, so will let you know what I think later!!!
For those daring people that run the HD51 multiboot (not the multiboot plugin frig) you will have to clean flash the receiver, due to the reflash of the EMMC.
There will also be changes necessary to ViX to support this change.
As other receivers update their drivers it is likely (eg Octagon) will also support this change
