[QUOTE="lanties, post: 350995, member: 13832"] Just a quick update. I have this desire to have a minimalistic Ubuntu distro on Wandboard for pure playback via squeezelite. The current distro's tries and cater to configure the wandboard for everybody's needs. Simply too much unnecessary stuff for my requirements. I have managed to put together my own Ubuntu distro based on [url=https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Core] Ubuntu 13.04 Core RFS [/url] I have added network and ALSA support, as well as all packages required by squeezelite. The Kernel 3.035 and u-boot was downloaded from the wandboard site (SDK) and x-compiled. I then added squeezelite including autostart on startup with default parameters (o = default:CARD=sgtl5000audio ) for the Wandboard. It instantly detected my HiFiMedia DAC as well. Unfortunately the Vivere is doing the rounds but I know it will also work. All working perfect, new player instantly registered with my LMS server and all done from original sources without the need for 3rd party patches etc. Next I will write a little web-based configuration program and add into the distro. Again lightweight an no need for Apache or Tomcat etc. I will make the image available to forum members once done and 100% sure all is working perfectly. Everything is currently based on the Wand-Dual. I will look at the Wand-Quad at a much later stage. I have no interest at present to add LMS to my distro. Again I will look at this at a much later stage when I look at the Wand-Quad. For those patient enough I should be able to release this within the next four weeks. [/QUOTE]
