Community Squeeze OS is designed to work with commerically available hardware. In advance of the Community Squeeze hardware player, this is the Wandboard (http://www.wandboard.org/) which is available via a number of resellers linked from their web page.
If you want to use this as a Squeezebox compatible player using the internal analog or spdif output of the wandboard then this is all you need. If you wish to use an external USB Dac, then the Wandboard has been tested with both UAC1 and UAC2 usb dacs and is able to reproduce good quality audio with this configuration. You should note that for UAC1 dacs an external high speed hub is required between the DAC and Wandboard. This is because the Wandboard hardware has the same limitation as the Squeezebox Touch in terms of it's USB output port. With a hub it performs exactly as the SBT does with the EDO addon. Community Squeeze also includes a controller appliction which uses the HDMI output to display a squeezebox like discplay on a high definition monitor or TV. At present this is designed for 1080p resolution screens, although it is possible to make it work on 720p screens and future releases will simplify the configuration to achieve this. The controller application is intended to be driven by a flirc IR receiver (http://flirc.tv/) which allows an IR remote to emulate a USB keyboard. This may be connected directly to the Wandboard or via a USB hub (if you have a usb dac). I'm sure users will find the best configuration for Flirc, but for the moment I've attached my configuration file here: 14707 +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ |Filename: CommunitySqueeze Flirc Configuration.zip | |Download: http://forums.slimdevices.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=14707| +-------------------------------------------------------------------+ ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Triode's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=17 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=98521 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
