Great to see some work on the firmware :).

Has anyone ever looked at moving the base (well meta-squeezeos mainly)
to a newer base of OpenEmbedded as a metadata/build system?

I looked at this a few years back, while I did not make much progress it
seemed very do'able while keeping the older kernel and supporting
firmware blobs. The main concern was firmware recovery without having to
resort to jTAG and the state of the bootloader should it all go
sideways, that put me off at the time but happy to start looking into
that again if there is a critical mass of people wanting to mess with
this as it might have tangible value.

For background, while I have not contributed to the Squeezebox scene
much (other than being an active user for many many years) I do have a
background with OpenEmbedded and general embedded Linux and helped
create the OpenPandora console years ago as the firmware lead
(OpenEmbedded based firmware, much like SqueezeOS) so I have so exposure
to that area.
