Have you decided against an overlay? What you have suggested makes sense, and having an automated way to make use of all the features of the board (display, buttons, and maybe audio) will undoubtedly be convenient. I feel that the configuration of the buttons is a separate task from the display setup, and is no different from configuring your own buttons with any other DIY build, but I appreciate that not everyone will want to have to deal with that, so having a default setup as part of a single extension will be great. Will the extension be able to configure Squeezelite to use the HiFiBerry driver as well? To contribute to the 'thinking out loud', for the display part, I did buy a similar unit to the one used on the Pirate Audio board, and found that it worked with very similar 'modprobe' commands. I only had to modify the 'modprobe fbtft_device' command (see 'this post' (https://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?111502-Jivelite-on-a-Pirate-Audio-240x240-screen&p=962631&viewfull=1#post962631)). So I wonder if it's feasible for ST7789 displays like this to use any part of the automated process for the Pirate Audio boards. Is it feasible to allow the user to specify, or at least edit after installation, some of the fbtft_device parameters, such as 'speed', 'cs', 'gpios'? A preset configuration for this board is not needed, since the GPIO connections are flexible, but a way to match the fbtft_device setup to the chosen pins could be useful. I think it would be sufficient if the Pirate Audio extension could be applied, but then the user could tweak the resulting setup to suit. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ chill's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=10839 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=111502 _______________________________________________ unix mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/unix
