        @e-neuling if you can install ubuntu and its an x86 machine you should be able to get it to work but as you didn't post any useful details of your system its hard to know.

            @e-neuling lakka has better support for random boards but less systems. Looks like your board has even less specs than the raspberry pi. The raspberry pi is the most supported board, but if you know what you're doing you can probably get it working on your board if you can get Ubuntu on it. Otherwise you may be better off with lakka
