I am using this: piCorePlayer v3.11 | linux 4.4.39-pcpCore_v7+ | piCore v8.0 | Squeezelite v1.8.6-830. I got piCore to tftboot once I had merged the contents of mmcblk01 with the one from the /boot directory of an up-to-date Rasbpian image, except for initramfs, kernel and cmdline/config.txt. In raspbian the kernel is 4.4.50 AFAIK, so I am not too surprised the SQ currently is not too great (clips and drifts a lot), but it boots. I guess piCore will get updated in due time. I got pCP to work, by and large, simply by adding "nfsmount=172.17.71.10:/export/12345abc/TCE" to cmdline.txt. /export/12345abc/TCE contains all files from "/dev/mmcblk0p2". 12345abc is the Pi's serial number. I see that filetool.sh does what it takes, mydata.tgz is saved over /mnt/nfs just fine. What doesn't work yet is changes done to "/dev/mmcblk0p1" by pCP. I have surmised a server setup where I export "/export/12345abc/BOOT", and the contents of that directory are bind-mounted to /tftp/12345abc. So normally you could update the boot partition from the client, and reboot to the new config without further intervention on the server. This works with Raspbian. Do you have a suggestion as the best way to export the boot partition? After that, I've seen plenty of instances of "mmcblk0" within the scripts contained in mydata.tgz, I guess a number of modifications will be needed? 3 SB 3 Libratone Loop, Zipp Mini iPeng (iPhone + iPad) LMS 7.9 (linux) with plugins: CD Player, WaveInput, Triode's BBC iPlayer by bpa IRBlaster by Gwendesign (Felix) Server Power Control by Gordon Harris Smart Mix, Music Walk With Me, What Was That Tune? by Michael Herger PowerSave by Jason Holtzapple Song Info, Song Lyrics by Erland Isaksson AirPlay Bridge by philippe_44 WeatherTime by Martin Rehfeld Auto Dim Display, SaverSwitcher, ContextMenu by Peter Watkins. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ epoch1970's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=16711 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=106755
