My biggest gripe with these other boards is that there is no continued kernel support. Getting the OS to boot isn't much of a challenge, where all of the work comes into play is getting a minimal module set to make the install "tiny". But good luck. What I would worry about first is porting piCore to orange. You will get much more OS support over at tinycore. Once the OS is running, then we can continue a conversation here about the audio related stuff. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107273 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Starting a oPi (Orange Pi) / Armbian Port?
Hi Steen, first of all: For the fun of it. And for educational purposes. And the second reason: I like fruit salad... I think raspberries and oranges can taste good together :) Although I have two rPis from the very first batch, I am not very fond of the shortage of the newer smaller rPis, which at last include all features we once had to add via usb, and for a reasonable price. Most shops have a "you get only one" policy, if they even have them in stock. I have 5 C.H.I.P.S. lying around, some oPis, all were very easy to source (those CHIPS not any longer). Whereas the rPis are often out of stock, or being paired with ridiculous shopping costs, or bundled with (for me) unecessary options. So I would simply like to try out some alternatives. Those CHIPS would be very well suited, as well, and they are open source hardware, like the rPi. But I don't want to argue, I want to try it simply for the sake of it.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Starting a oPi (Orange Pi) / Armbian Port?
Hi Arndt. I have no experience with the orange pi. So I'm interested in knowing why you want to port pCP to this device? The Rpi community is huge and the kernel is actively developed and finally there are many commercial Audio DAC's so it is well supported. I don't know if the orange pi have similar Audio DAC's or you can use the DAC's developed for RPi? The most important task for you is to get piCore (tinycore) running on your orange pi. Then pCP is only a collection of scripts that form the piCoreplayer interface. Regards Steen piCorePlayer a small player for the Raspberry Pi in RAM.

(i.e. kernel commandline, boot configuration) For #1, I'll give you a link. http://forum.tinycorelinux.net/index.php/topic,17895.0.html You will also need to get very familiar with how piCore works, there are books and wikis over there to read. Once you have a booting OS, then you can figure out what modifications are needed for pCP. paul-'s Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=58858 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107273 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
[SlimDevices: Unix] Starting a oPi (Orange Pi) / Armbian Port?
Hello! I have just started using piCorePlayer, since one of my Logitech Devices (Radio) broke down. First use for an old (first batch!) rPi I have had lying around for ages... However, I am also experimenting with orange Pi devices quite a lot, and yould be very interested to port this effort over to those devices (and also get into linux development again, which I have neglected for about ten years). I hope this post reaches the original guys behind piCorePlayer - and I hope this is not an "offensive" idea... Helpful would be some information about your build process. Hope to hear from you, kind regards, Arndt Cradle's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=66794 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=107273 ___ unix mailing list unix@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
