Thanks for this Ronnie. I haven't bought a pi 4 yet I thought I would
leave it a month or so and then upgrade.

If IQAudio haven't come up with a case by then I may buy something like
the Pimoroni case with GPIO exposed and some sort of mechanical support
of the external DAC and SSD drive.

Incidentally I noticed your .DSF test tracks which play on the DAC+ as
you know.

I had a couple of the 2L Test tracks too including the Hoff Ensemble.
I've now got into SACD ripping through a second hand Sony Blu Ray
(£30.00) and some of the results are quite brilliant. The Analogue
Productions SACD's of Nat King Cole are excellent if not almighty
expensive and illusive.

Cheers
Ian

It's a soekris dam 1021. It would be awesome if you could add minicom to
the repo. 

I don't need to connect every time. In theory I could boot into
raspbian, connect, set it up and then boot back into pcp. But the serial
connection is required for things like changing the iir filters etc. So
if I want to test a new filter, it gets rather cumbersome.

[SlimDevices: Unix] PiCorePlayer and pi 1B

2019-11-07 Thread Marsupial


I cannot seem to figure out this tidbit of information...

Can piCorePlayer properly run as a squeeze player on a first gen (single
core) raspberry pi 1b?

Ian, I loaded up an IQAudio DAC+ onto a rpi4b (4gb).

It has pcp installed (running the default 32 bit kernel)


Code:

piCorePlayer v6.0.0-b6 | linux 4.19.80-pcpCore_v7l | piCore v10.2pCP | 
Squeezelite v1.9.6-1198-pCP



I started playing "Stones in the Road".

I turned the pi on its long edge, with the audio outputs on the top. 

The temperature bumped along at 51/52C.

At halfway through the album playback I returned it to the horizontal
position

The temperature averaged 55/56C


Added a gpio extender between the board and the dac.

I repeated the test with another album (Fat City).

The recorded temeratures were much the same.

Hope this is helpful

ronnie

That's interesting.  What DAC is that?  I should be able to rebuild the
minicom extension later today, and upload to our repo.

Do they need to be accessed on each boot?
If not then could you boot Raspbian and make your settings changes and
save them to the card?

The Pi is connected to a DAC. The DAC firmware settings are accessed
over a serial connection.
