OK, that's great. Those command line args look a little different than
those that PowerCenter expects to use, but at least the serial port &
firecracker are working.

It's a permissions problem. Try
Code:
--------------------
sudo chmod a+rw /dev/ttyS0
--------------------
If that fixes it, then it's just permissions. If it doesn't, I'd also
try changing the 'br' command to
"/usr/share/squeezecenter/Plugins/PowerCenter/bin/br" (or whatever the
path is on your system).
A better fix than that 'chmod a+rw' is probably something like I did in
my /etc/rc.local, so the device perms are set properly after every
reboot:
Code:
--------------------
# give Firecracker device to SlimServer
/bin/chown slimserver /dev/ttyS0
--------------------
Double-check that username; for SC7 it might be something like
'squeezecenter'.
