If Rockchip RK3288 chip runs Android,why can't this device run Android/Kodi?

just because the underlying SoC is capable of running Android, doesn't mean every device based on that SoC is able to run Android. There's firmware/bootloader considerations at the very least.

Maybe it can be done with chroot

being ARM-based, this will likely run ChromeOS and nothing else - certainly not OpenELEC/Kodi. So unless the Kodi Android app works under ChromeOS (which I don't believe it does), this is completely useless.

See a related discussion here about running the native Kodi for Android app on Chrome OS using ARC (Android Runtime for Chrome) in the future:

If what's discussed there is true then it will be possible run Kodi for Android on any Chromebit, Chromebox, and Chromebook running Chrome OS.

We can actually run kodi inside of ChromeOS using crouton. The patch for the kodi target went live today
