I've managed to build the radio firmware using a workaround for the private babydsp sources with 'these steps' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?98835-Compile-SqueezeOS-for-quot-Baby-quot-missing-babydsp-so-(BB-Poky-recipe-Private_SVN)&p=963718&viewfull=1#post963718). Keep in mind that the squeezeplay in this firmware does not support the aac and wma decoders or the old spotify applet, as those are part of the private sources as well. Now I need to decide if I'm brave enough to load it on my radio! Perhaps a qemu test run first.
