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. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ DJWillis's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=65126 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111663 _______________________________________________ Radio mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/radio
