Debian Bookworm for OpenFrame

Post by **roobarb!** » Mon Jun 19, 2023 11:26 am

________________________________________________________________

Debian Bookworm for OpenFrame (Kernel 6.1)
Operating System Patches / Kernel Patches / Build Log
________________________________________________________________

It's happened again! We've hit another LTS milestone!

Both Bullseye and Bookworm are now being built on a new little server dedicated just to making these images and serving them up. Bookworm isn't replacing Bullseye, I'll keep building fresh images of both until at least Bullseye's estimated end-of-life, which is June 2026. Probably for longer.

Installation and Setup

No different to other releases. Easiest way is to chuck it on a USB stick using the Raspberry Pi imager, plug it in, turn OpenFrame on.

More complete instructions on birdslikewires.net.

Enjoy!

I'm aiming for this release to be pretty vanilla - just the necessary little bits and bobs for you to build your own systems with.

Thanks Boss

I have been playing with the Release Candidates for a while.

Apparently there will be a point release in a month or; it was pushed out with over a 100 bugs still to be squashed!

Anyway, I had already built the Binaries for LMS, so here is O2 Joggler running LMS v8.4.0, Squeezelite on the internal speaker, and Jivelite for control.

I have been playing with this for some time

https://forums.slimdevices.com/forum/us ... e-melodeon

With varying success

It builds in the 32 bit, so I might have another player later in the year

Awesome! I love seeing OpenFrames still doing cool stuff.

I've edited the opening post because audio is now working just fine. Minor tweak to asound.conf was all that was required. mpg123 seems to still try to use PulseAudio first (which is not present) but running with "-o alsa" or using mpg123-alsa works perfectly. Confirmed that hotplugging on the audio jack still works with kernel 6.1 as well, so no changes required there.

The fact that the Beeb have turned off MP3 streaming of everything except World Service confused me for a bit, as I was setting all this up on the 16th June, the day they switched off those feeds. One minute everything was fine, next minute there was nothing and naturally I assumed it was something I'd done!

I now have a fresh install and running Ralphy's Squeezeplay

It's all a bit slow to load (as was my previous post) but runs OK

No album art from either local files or streaming radio stations

Start up using a @reboot Cronjob

I seem to have a default USA keyboard

That's usually a library thing, did you get art on the previous incarnation out of the box? Image conversion libraries (in fact, as many libraries as possible) aren't included by default so people have a little space to work with on the internal memory.

Hmm, I'll test for that - IIRC it's a dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration or /etc/default/keyboard thing.

I'm using a 32 gb usb stick so have plenty or room

Ralphy's Squeezeplay has no frame buffer but neither does the Jivelite version that I build (this goes back a few years working with chill).

At the moment I have only installed xinit (I have in the past installed xserver which gives the same result).

I have not yet tried a full desktop

As you well know, it takes a lot of time

From reboot to a usable touch screen is almost two minutes with this simple build.

On your build of Squeezeplay how do you do it? Would it be possible to run the build script incorporating Ralphy's Sourceforge url for Squeezeplay,
or does it require a checksum for the download?

Heh. Many, many years ago I built an MSF time signal receiver, for a novelty clock project I was making. This time signal is/was broadcast as a low frequency Radio signal from Rugby, UK. I had a kit-built RF stage, and wrote a program on an 8051 CPU to decode the signal and drive some LEDs.

After I built it I started testing in ... and absolutely nothing from the RF stage. All the constituent bits seemed to be working, but no output at all. I tried everything, couldn't get any result.

Next day ... all was fine! It turned out that on ... the afternoon of the third Tuesday in the month... they turned the signal off for maintenance. Guess when I was trying things out? Grr...

Yeah, there's a bug. This version is fine for now, just looking at it.

It's half fixed, I'll take another look tomorrow.

UPDATE: I broke it more, and much worse.

UPDATE2: Well, I completely fried that server and had to rebuild it. Be careful deleting things that look like files but are actually active mount points! That's what comes from typing too fast too late at night.

It didn't help that Debian Bookworm appears to have a loop mounting bug when using custom nodes, which end up throwing "no such device or address" errors. The build server is now back on Bullseye, but can produce both Bullseye and Bookworm images just fine.

If you can't access the server right now you probably have a cached DNS entry for the old one. You can visit by it's IP address while you wait for your local DNS to update.

Just a note to say that "sudo of-expand" still does not work on the internal ram of the Cisco Openframe

On both Bullseye and Bookworm it goes into a boot loop on rebooting

@roobarb!

Thanks for doing this, it is great you are keeping these Jogglers alive

I needed to build a new Squeezeplay Joggler and tried this build but the script to install Squeezeplay isn't included. I had a look at the package below but didn't get far due to my lack of Linux skills. I suspect there are some pre-requisites before that can be run? Any pointers (or a script

) would be appreciated.

This is Ralphy's Squeezeplay on a Joggler Bookworm image, started from PuTTY on a Windows Desktop

It's installed on a micro sd card in a usb reader, but not with an expanded file system

I added the no curser command to the squeezeplay.sh
The screen calibration is not quite right, but usable with a little care

I releaise that not every one will "au fait" with Squeezeplay configuration for playback.

This is a copy of a post made by Ralphy on the slimdevices forum

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

SQUEEZEPLAY ON JOGGLER- CONFIGURE OUTPUT

Run aplay -l to find the alsa device name. I'm using an allo dac in my example as I don't have a hifiberry dac installed ATM.

$ aplay -l | grep card
card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 0: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA]
card 0: ALSA [bcm2835 ALSA], device 1: bcm2835 ALSA [bcm2835 IEC958/HDMI]
card 1: sndallodigione [snd_allo_digione], device 0: Allo DigiOne HiFi wm8804-spdif-0 []

Then update the ALSA section in /opt/squeezeplay/bin/squeezeplay.sh to use the hifiberry. I'd also suggest setting USEALSASAMPLESIZE to zero to autodetect the sample size supported by the hifiberry dac instead of forcing default 16 bit.

# ALSA
#
# Supported sample sizes 0=autodetect, default=16
# "<0|16|24|24_3|32>"
#
export USEALSASAMPLESIZE=0
export USEALSADEVICE=hw:CARD=sndallodigione
export USEALSACAPTURE=hw:CARD=sndallodigione

Quit squeezeplay and start it again using /opt/squeezeplay/bin/squeezeplay.sh

I use the internal speaker; "aplay -L" gives
