Ah, I now realize that I need to use the buildme.sh in vendor, a whole
different ball of wax. I've got that built now. Is there any way to
unravel this so that it uses the dependencies from the OS rather than
compiling from source? Maybe the new versions of these libraries don't
need the
Me three. I've built it before and journeyed down the rabbit hole of
dependencies, not too excited about doing it again. Maybe I'll setup a
virtual machine so I can use it to build it the next time.

So I ran the buildme.pl script, and it was successful but I still get
the Perl errors upon startup. It looks like there are binaries in
/usr/share/squeezeboxserver/CPAN/arch/5.18/x86_64-linux-thread-muti/auto
and there is no corresponding 5.20 folder. These binaries are in the

Hi rpress,
Sorry, I'm not fit with compiling. Could you describe how to build the
driver?
I'm not sure whether it builds just a module or a full blown kernel.
Thanks a lot!
It can be built either way. To build as a module you need the exact
kernel headers and config
The driver you need is on my github, you shouldn't need anything else.
It should work with Raspberrry PI as it was designed for this in the
first place.
With the power sequence, I did not do anything special. But now that
you mention it I see the SSD1322 datasheet mentions the sequence. The

I'm certainly tempted to go that route, but I already made three

the large VFD.
Anyone who wants to use the OLED display can also buy it here:

To run it as SPI a jumper wire must be installed but otherwise it looks

I received the Noritake display, unfortunately the grayscale one is

attention, it's about 10mm too wide. It's big and beautiful, there is

That seems like a big screen too. Which of those displays you tested has

Yes the size is good, it would look good in a 2U case; that's what I'm

I've updated my repos with the code necessary to get it all working.

Thanks guys! Here is the display I am using now. I had to modify the
parts on the board a bit, it had some crosstalk problems; it looks
pretty good now, though. I don't know if this is the best solution for
everyone, due to the changes needed. Noritake has always had very good
quality so

Sorry, I meant the parts on the circuit board that is attached to the

pixels in a row caused other pixels to be darker. I fixed this
I do like the OLED, but VFD would be nice too!

This is nice and big (6.7 diagonal), I might get one of these to play
with too. The electrical interface is different than mine, but there is
a USB option. Or an adapter to SPI (like my OLED) is not so
The viewing area is 136x34mm (5.35x1.34) or 5.5 diagonal.

Well I have the OLED display working in Jivelite. You can see that the
skin is way too big! :)

So I've decided for now to make a new skin rather than try to use the
old Boom interface. Hopefully the UI will work nicely with this aspect
ratio. The font rendering looks pretty nice with

Yeah, when I did the empeg I saw that it uses one 32 bit word for the

With a few more minor changes I have RetroBrowser working on Jivelite.
I modified the resolution to that of the display I plan to use at

Very nice! I will be working on an interface soon for the Wandboard.
You can see my thread below. Maybe you can answer with your opinion?
Okay I think I have them both fixed now.

Yeah try the packages I built and see how they work. I had to change a
bunch of stuff so it would compile right, the biggest problem being that
there was no audio.

Here's a deb package I've build with Squeezeplay 7.8.0~9704, for amd64
(64-bit). It's working on my Ubuntu 12.10 with alsa audio, no changes

run it from Unity with no problems. Let me know how it works for you!
