Hi All,
I'm just wondering has anyone had success loading riv on to the rpi? If so, how did you achieve this. Keen to try the gpios out on it.

It basically would be Arduino based, just on a board that is more purpose-made, and without some of the extra stuff on the Arduino. But you raise a good point... may as well just use an Arduino directly and save the time and trouble unless this project would bring something new and novel. As for ethernet, Yes I certainly could do that. Along the same lines, probably simplest to just use an Arduino Ethernet. But the question of how to interface still remains. Need documentation for the relevant protocols etc to interface with Rivendell. The one minor annoyance is that Arduino Ethernet units don't have proper MAC addresses. You have to supply or derive one on your own. And if I recall, the DHCP implementation isn't particularly reliable or robust. Probably best to look at the RasPi or a BeagleBone instead at this point, as they're cheaper than the Arduino Ethernet anyway. The only thing I can think of that would actually make a project like this worthwhile, after further consideration, is if it can yield a trouble free, almost zero-setup, appliance-type box that interfaces super easily with Rivendell, requires no maintenance, and is in an extra-convenient form factor (1U Rackmount?) Nevertheless, I'm still curious about how to interface with Rivendell's GPIO support, if nothing else than for tinkering with hardware, learning, and getting something working. Brian
