[PD] OT: raspberry pi

[Pagano, Patrick]

Hi everyone and thank you for the help and links. I got wheezy up and running and installed pd-extended. I could not get audio out of the headphone jack on the Pi, but it comes out of the monitor that has HDMI on it. I then of course got greedy and over-clocked it and corrupted the file system. grrr. I picked up a mini usb audio card a Soundblaster X-fi GO! Pro and in the boot screen it sees it and it's in the drop down menu for AUDIO SETTINGS but i cannot do anything after i select it and the whole system freezes. I am wondering if jack may help with it.
I got pdp working with pdp_sdl as the window outputs, pdp_glx and pdp_xv do not work.
I am going to try to get Gedit and Supercollider working before i punt it into the Rubbish Bin. I may just use it to control DMX lighting with a USBDMXPro but as of now I am need some inspiration for it's use. :-)

cheers~ and thanks

Hey Patrick,

I guess the standard most up to date raspbian wheezy is the best place to start.

For me what's worked best is to find a super-minimal install and then build requirements on top of that.

With the project I'm working on atm I couldn't get my pmpd patch to even run with the standard install (there is quite a lot going on though).  Now the patch runs fine with a whole heap of other stuff on top of that (2 sensors, 6 channel soundcard etc).  My htop reading fills me with joy-I think there's about a dozen processes including 3 shells.

As it's a rev1 board I built a system on top of the hexxeh image (same guy who's done the 'rpi-update' program for updating the firmware.  My understanding though is that with rev2 boards don't do it.

The one that I've been keeping my eye on, and they've just released a brand new version is Mobius
http://moebiuslinux.sourceforge.net/
This is what I'll be testing out for my rev2 boards.

There's a whole host of conflicting info re RPi's out there, particularly overclocking to squeeze every last morsel of goodness out of them.  Us audio bods have specific needs -  like I want mine running flat out all the time without blowing up and there's a big difference with that to someone who very occasionally pushes their RPi and wants to tell everyone that there way is the best.

My own take has been to only use smaller cards (4gb) from reputable sources - very hit and miss though, very definitely YMMV

This has been useful for tweaks:

Indispensable resources for audio:
http://www.raspberrypi.org/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?p=286064#p286064
http://wiki.linuxaudio.org/wiki/raspberrypi

Don't do video so can't help on that front but my friend was just showing me his rpi xbmc setup which was really good so must be well-doable.

And of course there's a ton of stuff on our lovely list.

Best of luck,

Julian

hi patrick
Why don't you just use millers images with vanilla or the satellite-ccrma with pd-ext, both linked here:
https://puredata.info/docs/raspberry-pi

Both images are very close to 8GB (though much of that is empty space) ... the CCRMA one did fit my SD cards but the pd-la one was slightly too big.

The raspbian wheezy image will fit on a much smaller card, and will expand its partition to fill what you have, and is working nicely here. Clearly not all 8GB cards are quite the full 8GB.

If you try the standard debian armel it will probably work, but is compiled for a simpler CPU without hardware float (ARMv4 rather than v6), and will be slower.

Hello

i just received my first raspberry doo-hickey and i am wondering what distro people are using.
I tried the wheezy last night and it seems okay, i installed pd-extended after a few tries
I was unsuccessful with getting the CCRMA distro to load onto an 8GB chip

i basically would like to have pd with pdp working, supercollider and i assume omxplayer
