Not sure about if there are builds available for that arm board, but with Ubuntu on x86 hardware you need to install the Kodi PPA to get the latest Kodi releases.

You'd be better with a raspberry pi in terms of Kodi support.

And if it shipped it would not work either. The above hardware uses a proprietary blob that has no support in any OSS programm that is not heavily patched ...
First decide what functions / features you expect from a system. Then decide for the hardware. Don't waste your money on crap.
