Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Wireless access point on piCorePlayer?

Layer 2 was possibly not the correct statement.  I used a proxy arp
bridge.   The benefit of this is that the wifi adapter doesn't have to
support monitor mode.

You don't provide a log from squeezelite but it's likely that you need
to move the metadata atoms to the beginning of the alac file.

I will try that AP mode with pleasure when you release it.
Yes I was thinking of L3 bridging with the AP; either with eth0 or a USB
adapter (or VLAN but I don't think that option would be too popular).

I don't know how I can interpret your last sentence; if you've done it
in the AP that is being tested, then that's great. If you mean it is
feasible and it works, I certainly concur with that.

Adding stuff to bootlocal.sh looks like a good option, it is flexible.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Wireless access point on piCorePlayer?

2017-12-11 Thread paul-

I have the AP mode done, I have a couple of folks testing.

epoch,  What are you bridging?  two ethernet devices?   Anyway to do
what you want, you will need to remaster the initrd.   I've heard of
succuss just building CPIO initrd with just the one file you want to
change, and then concatenating it to the end of the current initrd.  
But that seems to be a headache.   

What I would do is set nodhcp bootcode on the command line,  then setup
your network in bootlocal.sh

I have also done layer2 and layer3 bridging with pCP wifi to ethernet.

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Wireless access point on piCorePlayer?

2017-12-11 Thread epoch1970

I'm looking into this, progress isn't fast :)
I want to have bridging as an option. 

After looking at the boot process and the various bits activating dhcp,
static, wifi, I'm thinking what is needed first is a stable naming
scheme for the interfaces.

The current PCP uses udev v.174, so something like
"70-persistent-net.rules" should be working.
My rule is in a "netdevs.tcz" that is listed at the very end of
onboot.lst.

It doesn't work; I've tried naming the file to "10-persistent-net.rules"
but that doesn't help.
When the boot process ends, if I shut all interfaces down, reload rules
and trigger them, this time I get my interfaces renamed.

With TCL/PCP as it is, do I stand a chance of getting a custom rule
taken into account at boot, or shall I wait for "normal" boot to end,
nuke all networking and rename/restart it? (this option would work,
obviously, but I find it messy.)

Thanks for the reply.  I probably tried the thicker cable/no "Y"  option
in my trial and error, but I'll give it another shot with some different
PSUs

I am assuming from the tone of the question you know this is an
undervoltage warning.
I think that th Pi warning is a little sensitive as I've had this
warning on my Rpi running Kodi and experienced no problems or crashes

I regularly get the warning running from USB ports or USB PSU's although
the official Pi PSU seems OK (No warning)
The Pi PSU has thicker cable than most (0.5mm^2 I think) most "Genuine"
USB cables IE Samsung etc seem OK but lots have much thinner wire adding
voltage drop.
Most of the Pi's I use now have 3A Psu's with a DC Barrel connector to
Micro USB adaptor these all work OK even powering a USB HDD as well.

It sound like the PSU/Cable combination you have is just marginal as the
flash only appears when you create load by actually asking the Pi to do
something "extra" by making a selection etc.

Try using a thicker cable and without the "Y", Run the Pi Screen from
the headers with the wires supplied it might make the difference

Re: [SlimDevices: Unix] Jivelite for piCorePlayer

2017-12-11 Thread stereoptic

I am using Jivelite with piCoreplayer on a Raspberry pi B 3.  For the
power supply I am using CanaKit Raspberry Pi 3 with 2.5A Micro USB Power
Supply using a Amzer Convert Micro USB to Dual Micro USB Twin Y Splitter
Charging Handy Data Cable, powering both the pi and the display.  I
notice the yellow lightning bolt pop up when rebooting, and also
whenever I make a selection and the display changes.  It stays on for a
second or so and then turns off.
I've tried various combinations for powering the units, including using
the CPIO pins and also disconnecting the pins.  
I have the exact setup at another location and I don't get the lightning
bolt on that one.

Any suggestions as for troubleshooting?  I'll re-seat the ribbon cables
and see if that makes a difference and I may also have another 2.5A
power supply that I can switch with another device and see if that makes
any difference.
