AFAIK SOA on the wandboard is still viable, but there as several gothcas now that Triode has not been around to maintain the project for six months. The worst being the move to perl 5.22 for those who wish to run the LMS server on their ARM device. I still have SOA running on my Raspberry Pi - Rev B+ which is used as a player only, and I don't bother to keep updating the software. What you use as an alternative to SOA for your Wandboard will depend on your Linux skills and the time and effort you're are prepared to expend in order to get something working. Possible choices that come to mind are: 1. Stick with SOA, but be prepared to employ some workarounds. 2. Stick with ARCH linux but be prepared to install, configure and troubleshoot everything from scratch. 3. Move to Fedora 22, use their basic Wandboard image ( https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Architectures/ARM/F22/Installation ) and additionally make use of the armhfp repo at http://www.squeezecommunity.org/repo/fedora/22/ 4. Move to Debian 8, there may be some usable pre-built images here: http://wiki.wandboard.org/index.php/Sdcard-images#DEBIAN 5. Use an official Ubuntu WB image - http://wandboard.org/index.php/downloads - install any additional software ( See WB forums for any problems with official image) 6. Sell the Wandboard, invest in a RPi2 quad core and get a hifiberry DIG+ card to use the optical inputs of your DAC. ( Assuming your DAC is not USB only and coax input is better than USB input of your DAC). Note: For 3 above, see JackOfAll's thread "Fedora LMS RPM packages, call for testers... " and ask if it's a workable solution. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Krisbee's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=59080 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=101624 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
