Hi thanks for testing. I see that curl and wiringpi already have been ported to microcore linux, so it will be simple to add theese to picoreplayer. At the command promt you write: tce this will start the package manager, then press s (for search) next write curl enter and you will be promted to answer what to do. Use "I" for install, this means that it will start after every reboot. Do the same for wiringpi. The special thing with microcore linux is that every package you add is stored in a special directory "TCE" so if you delete this you will have an untouched microcore to start with again. So there is no risk of corruption. It is also important to know that if you change any files or add your own script etc, you need to make a "backup", in order for these changes to survive a reboot. You do that by: sudo filetool.sh -b I'm not a programmer, but this is my understanding of how it works. If I can be of further help. please ask.
