Snakeoil 1.3.0 Alpha 1 (aarm64)

[agent_kith]

Using Pi2 Design Mercury V2 Streamer (and definitely no skips, clicks on Mpd, currently playing).

Not able to use AES/EBU digital output, and "aplay -l" only shows the outputs of the CM4, but not the Pi2 Design board which has a WM8804 SPDIF Transmitter

In their distributions of various Pi OS, all of them mention including a "HiFiBerry Digi+ Pro" driver.  Is this driver included in the generic Ubuntu kernel?  If not, it then raises the question of how many additional drivers will be required for SnakePOil to support the ARM64 platform?

Hmm. I would assume the drivers are in the kernels, and stock kernels should carry that. For ARM platforms then should we stick to Ubuntu or move to raspberry Pi as the platform then?
You might need to look at the config.txt file and add them. File location should be: /boot/firmware/config.txt

Advantage of Rasp OS is it will definitely support everything, but that's restricted to the Pi platform.

Switching to Ubuntu might open the doors to other ARM SBCs. However there is a risk that Ubuntu may drop support any time.
 
Can you try and install RaspPi Bookworm 64 bit and see how the Snakeoil installer fare? In theory everything should work well, however, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS is about a release behind Bookworm I believe.

1. Can't install upmpdcli .This is what I get:

I'll try and fix that in Alpha 2 or 3. Thanks for reporting.

2. Don't know how to add Allo Digione Signature (dtoverlay=allo digione) card to Ubuntu config.txt (don't know how to open config.txt) 

It should be in here: /boot/firmware/config.txt

 

OK. I've installed Ubuntu 64-bit LTS on my RPi 4 2GB twice now.

Installation is good, with multiple sets of downloads, updates and installations as described by @snoopy08. But the RPi doesn't reconnect to the network when I reboot as instructed.



I've done a command line reboot and a pull-the-power reboot.

Hmm.. Can you take a screenshot of your network config? Might have to connect a monitor + keyboard to do so. just run

Code:

sudo ip a

Quick update, due to the lack of Raspberry Pi and ability to emulate the latest version of Bookworm, have just wiped the old armv7l build system. Going to move that to bookworm and then prepare the build environment. Once that is done I will look into upmpdcli and see what/how I can fix this.
