Scanned the documentation, it looks like all GPIO's are set to input on power-on of the SoC, a few are pulled high (first eight and some others) but most pulled low via the internal resistors. But I'll use an external pull down resistor anyway to prevent random behaviour until that GPIO is changed from input to output mode. It also makes the design more robust for possible change in behaviour with newer SoC's. I still need to verify on a proto board that the choosen GPIO wil not flipflop between various states and output voltage levels from power-on, booting until Squeezelite takes control of the GPIO. But we are getting off topic concerning the purpose of this thread.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 8.0.0
Hi, Question about the GPIO Power On/Off setting on the squeezelite settings page. 36366 I understand that it toggles the GPIO when the powerbutton for that player is pressed in LMS. But how does it behave when I boot the RPI and squeezelite starts. Does it toggle the GPIO to the actual power state (in LMS for that player) too? Background: I'm building a (headless) player (Zero 2W + DAC + Headphone amp) and want to add a status LED to show that the system has booted and Squeezelite has contacted LMS and is ready to go.

One has to pick the "HifiBerry DAC+ (and Pro, AMP2)". As both mention 'Pro' that might me confusing, maybe change "HiFiBerry DAC2HD (and Pro)" to "HiFiBerry DAC2HD" and "HifiBerry DAC+ (and Pro, AMP2)" to "HifiBerry DAC +Pro, 2Pro, AMP2" Regards, HS. +---+ |Filename: DAClist.jpg | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=36171| +---+ does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB? hsmeets's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=114828 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] New RPi Zero 2 W
No Joy yet with a Zero 2 either. Stupidly I don't have a small HDMI connector at hand so can't see what's going on. Hoped on a similar painless headless setup of PcP as with my other RPI's. Will go out and get a small HDMI connector soon. What I did: 0) flashed the PCP8 32b image on a 16Gb sdcard 1) edited the config.txt and added the PI02 section (with same kernel as PI3) 2) created a wpa_supplicant.conf for my wireless network (same as with my other RPI's) 3) added the bcm2710-rpi-zero-2.dtb to the boot folder 4) wget the firmware from the repo.picore etc etc. 5) replaced the firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz in the tce/optional folder Questions: Does it matter were the PI02 section is inserted between PI0 en PI4 into config.txt? Does the firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz.md5.txt also need to be updated as firmware-rpi-wifi.tcz has changed or is it ignored? Does file ownership matter? On the root partition the Ubuntu that I used to access the root partition did show owner "1001" and after replacing the firmware it was 'root'. I did chmod the file to be read by all, owner, group and others. When I power the Zero the small LED lights up, flashes once then is steady for another second or so, flashes once more and then it stays on.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: piCorePlayer 3.00
A strange issue for the developers of picoreplayer (or iPeng). Until today I had LMS running on a Mac mini, the older 7.7.5 version, I use LMS only as an intermediair to a streaming service. I had this RPI 2 B on the shelf so why not use it for that and do away with Mac mini. So the other day i installed PcP 3.02 and did the necessary setup and all was fine. Then I switched PcP to a fixed IP address, still everything okay. Next I picked up my tablet and used iPeng to control change the music and than it happened: About every 2 minutes iPeng updated it screen and for a brief moment it looked like the SB Touch disappeared and a few seconds later it appeared again and the track that was playing restarted from the beginning. I downloaded the PcP image again and installed all again, set PcP to a fixed IP, all was fine again: music played without problems, I used the classic web interface to navigate and played a few albums. Later that evening i picked up the tablet and as soon as I used iPeng the whole disappear/appear and track restart nonsense started over again. I re-installed iPeng but still the same problem. Even after iPeng was de-installed the whole disappear/appear and track restart continued. As last resort I switched back to the default to get an IP via DHCP from my router/switch and lo and behold: no issues anymore from the last few hours. Strange issue. Either something in PcP of iOS/iPeng.

Thanks for 2.04! Looks like my LMS will be moving from a Mac Mini to a RPI in one of the next weeks. One thing I noticed, I could be wrong though, I activated/installed the ALSA equalizer but after disabling it (and a reboot) I had no sound, enabling the equalizer again restored the sound.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] piCorePlayer = Squeezelite on Microcore linux. .An embedded OS in RAM with Squeezelit
Steen, Greg, Ralphy, Got myself the RPi 7" touchscreen recently to play around with and gave it a spin with pricoreplayer/jivelite: Briljant! Well Done! Some idea's/suggestions to improve the joggler skin (or fork it to make it a PcP skin) - improve the onscreen keyboard to make more use of the screen real-estate - enlarge the small album art and menu icon's in the lists, thus also less lines per screen (from 9 back to 6 or 7?) that would make it easier to read and to select via a finger touch - optionally display playlist and menu's as list but as table of larger icons (as e.q. iPeng can do). - Add some native 'screensavers' other then 'now playing' and the blank screen. Also check out this video I made, it possibly is not a jivelite bug but related to the Qobuz plugin but at 2:40 in the video I try to select Handel's Watermusic but it selects 2 or 3 lines belowgoing out the list and returning fixed the issue. https://youtu.be/wlo9XE4Oec0 Cheers and keep up the good work!

Greg, Steen, FWIW: I didn't look at the jivelite version and lua code you include with PCP, the one I toy around with on my laptop had no wallpaper for the 800x480/Joggler skin which I assume that is also used for the RPI touch screen. I took the wallpapers from the fab4_xx range and scaled them to 800x480 and saved them as PCP_ I made a small tweak to the wallpaperchooser lua code so that it picks up the PCP_ prefixed files for the 800x480 screen Code: if screenWidth == 320 and screenHeight == 240 then pattern = 'BB_' elseif screenWidth == 240 and screenHeight == 320 then pattern = 'JIVE_' elseif screenWidth == 480 and screenHeight == 272 then pattern = 'FAB4_' elseif screenWidth == 800 and screenHeight == 480 then pattern = 'PCP_' else pattern = 'HD_' end Regards, Huib does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB? hsmeets's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Have you tried what happened after the calibration but in Mouse mode instead of Digitizer mode? I see some youtube vid's where moving and pressing can be done in one action. The display you use does 480x272, did you check that the correct resolution was detected by Picore/Tinycore as the HDMI controller you use is initially set to report something else (800x480), it might also explain why the mouse moves fast because of that mismatch what it really is and what the OS thinks it is. Code: This driver is designed specifically as a small and easy to use display driver for our 40-pin TTL displays. In particular, we suggest it for use with single board computers (or desktop/laptops!) with DVI/HDMI output like the Raspberry Pi or BeagleBone Black. You can power the driver over USB and then feed it video via the HDMI port. It's a very small board so great for tucking into an enclosure. It can drive our 4.3, 5.0 or 7.0 displays but we really only recommend the 5 or 7 800x480 as some computers do not like the low resolution of the 4.3 and the TFP401 does not contain a video scaler, it will not resize/shrink video! We ship this board with an 800x480 resolution EDID so it will be auto-detected at that resolution. For advanced users, the EDID can be reprogrammed using our example Arduino code. Or, for computers that use linux, you can always just force the resolution to whatever display you have connected. does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB? hsmeets's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Hi, I (tried) to upgrade from 1.19 to 1.19I, the RPI 2 version. Following: Insitu update failed: after downloading and unpacking it failed, ended with a generic error that there was an error (but no further description) on the webpage I continued with downloaded the image and put it on the SD Card. Following was observed: newconfig.txt to connect directly with wifi: I entered my wifi data and saved the file to the SDcard. When booting it did not connect to my wifi network. After hooking up a network cable and accessing the picoreplayer webconfig I found that it copied the SSID from newconfig.txt including the surrounding quotes. After correcting this it still failed to connect. I reentered the wifi password as I suspected that here also the quotes. That solved it and the wifi connection was up and running. Squeezelite setings: 1) on the squeezelite config loglevel all=debug and logfile test8 are set 2) changes do not survive a boot I changed the output device to my HifiBerry card and removed the debug info. PcP says it activated it and saved the settings. But after a reboot the settings are back at the analog output and the debug entries have also returned. (changed wifi setting did survive the boot btw). Several attempts failed. 3) Tweaks page cannot be accessed (already reported by others). 4) judging the dmesg output: the filesystem dirty bit is no longer an issue as it was in v1.19 For now I reverted back to 1.19awaiting 1.19J :-) Thanks, Huib does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB? hsmeets's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Just an experience I want to share for those that run into the same: My hardware: RPI 2, HifiBerry AMP+, EDIMAX EW-7811UN Wifi. For the first several days it played without any hickup but I had it on wired ethernet. A few days later I removed the network cable and let it play over Wifi for half an hour before I switched it off. Last Thursday I started to listen again and all of a sudden, early in the evening the music started to stutter like mad. I restarted the RPI but no luck. I mostly stream flac from Qobuz, I tried a lower bitrate, no success, still stuttering. Mhmm, evening, just after dinner, more traffic from neighbors? I never had this issue with the Classic, Touch and Boom that also connect via Wifi. I checked what Wifi networks are in the air from my neighbors and found that many (8 out of 12), just like me use channel 11. I switched my router/accesspoint to a channel nobody was on and from then on no stuttering anymore. Seems like the EDIMAX 7811 (or the driver) is not fully stable when the channel is crowed.

So it uses a HDMI cable but isn't HDMI compliant. Have fun with this. ;) I2S signals where never intended to travel long distance, just a few inches between IC's. Somehow it has become en-voque to use I2S to interconnect over longer distances (between e.q. streamer and DAC. To make that possible the signals are converted from TTL to some form of LVDS (low-voltage-differential-signaling). UTP and HDMI cables are often used for the physical connection, but the connection is indeed nowhere near HDMI. Audio on HDMI is multiplexed with the video signal. Those that use a HDMI cable for transporting I2S have their own brand specific pin use and signal levels etc. You cannot connect the RPI HDMI to a something like a DAC that gets I2S signals via a HDMI connector. does the all-black SB sound better than the white SB? hsmeets's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97803 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Regarding the mmcblk0p1 error messages, these indicate the dirty bit is set on the FAT boot partition. I don't believe this is a problem but it is untidy.

We'll have to look further at the second partition error messages. regards Greg Hi, Thanks.

Did your changes 'survive' the boot?

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Announce: Squeezelite - a small headless squeezeplay emulator for linux (alsa only)
Hi Triode, brownnose level=severe I recently 'discovered' this effort of yours: many kudo's! this is great stuff for all obvious reasons. /brownnose Apologies that I might have not read all posts in this thread and it might be answered already. But I have a question: Triode stated that this will be and stay a headless player. But likely there are people similar to me that think of building a dedicated player and would like to have some UI on the device like a simple LCD with a few buttons/rotery encoder or maybe a full fledged UI on a TFT touchscreen. I know of Squeezepad/Ipeng (I use them), but a hardware player with LCD and a few knobs would be what I would like too. Obviously such code needed for UI does not have to go into the Squeezelite code as we can run a program in parallel to query LMS for status of Squeezelite and operate Squeezelite via LMS, just the same as Squeezepad/iPeng do. So, the questions is, has someone already looked into this? Maybe work has started to write some code to implement a UI using an 2 or 4 line LCD and a few buttons/rotary encoder linked to a Raspberry/Cubieboard/Arduino/.. or any other small system to offers some GPIO pins to hookup LCD and buttons? Would you use the CLI or the JSON interface in such case? I have myself no need for a graphical interface, the 2 or 4 line interface of the Classic or Transporter would suffice. My coding techniques are rusty to say the least to start such endeavor from scratch, don't even want to think about writing multithreaded code in C :-) Regards, Huib hsmeets's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=97046 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] SB3 suddenly lost connection with SS
Problem solved. Somehow the network adapter in the server had a problem. I couldn't ping the SB from the server but the SB was pingable from other computers in the network. And I could also reach these computers from the server. Just the SB was not reachable. Rebooted the server but still no succes, but then I thought: i haven't powered it really off so maybe the network card itself is at fault. Succes! after a real power-off and power-on the SB and the Server talk to each other again! Sigh of releave.

[SlimDevices: Unix] SB3 suddenly lost connection with SS
Wanted to listen to some music tonight but after running months without any hitch all of a sudden the SB3 doesn't connect to the SS anymore. I haven't changed anything to my network (routers,dhcp,...) setup. After a 'factory reset': it sees the network SSID, it recognizes the WEP (i know) encryption, it gets correct IP/Gateway/DNS thru DHCP from my router and it gives a signal strength reading. It doesnot find the SS on the network as it did when I initially installed the SB3. I have to enter manually the IP adress of the box running SS. It failes to connect to SS. Softsqueeze however does connect to the SS and plays music. I'm running Ubuntu 6.10, SS version 6.5.2, and SB3 firmware 81. Even after upgrading from 6.5.1 to 6.5.2 it ran all those weeks without any trouble. The only thing was that the previous evening I pulled the latest ubuntu updates (apt-get update/upgrade). Could that be the problem? I haven't yet tried to hook up the SB3 thru ethernet. I'm stumped, even after the SB3 factory reset and following setup and rebooting the box that runs the SS it still does not connect Anybody a clue?
