APC – Extra Ammunition… Another ARMv6 Compiler Toolchain..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on August 7, 2012 by RGAugust 7, 2012

As my APCs are being held to ransom, until I get an invoice for UK customs duty and taxes (by post!!) and am then able to pay it (online?)..  I decided to add another flavour of cross-compiler to the ones I already have installed. This one comes from the self-contained OpenELEC environment which is used to create … Continue reading →

Pi to 3.1.10..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 8, 2012 by RGMay 8, 2012

I had noticed that the OpenELEC XBMC build for the Raspberry Pi included a 3.1.10 kernel, so decided to ‘update’ my Fedora 17 card to this, using the OpenELEC kernel source, cross-compiled.. So..  Now running Fedora 17 on a 3.1.10 kernel: $ uname -a Linux rgpi 3.1.10 #1 Tue May 8 13:41:06 BST 2012 armv6l armv6l armv6l … Continue reading →

Playback Time…

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 5, 2012 by RGMay 5, 2012

Some initial experiences with video playback, using the OpenELEC XBMC installation on the Raspberry Pi…. Recorded HD TV Programmes (m2t..  UK..  BBC HD etc..) – playback bad.   Jerky and stop/start.    This is not a great surprise, as the format is (to put it politely..) a bit of a hybrid sound / video combination.. 720p camera recordings (mpeg4), … Continue reading →

XBMC on the PI!

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 4, 2012 by RGMay 4, 2012

I decided to revert to the cross-compile option, which was a) much, much faster to compile! and b) completed successfully.. Then I followed the instructions to install the results on an 8GB SD Card…      It is worth mentioning, that this is a case where RTFM is absolutely required, as the whole process is different from what you … Continue reading →

Two Days, and Counting…Fail..!

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on May 1, 2012 by RGMay 1, 2012

The Raspberry Pi is still chugging away, compiling the entire OpenELEC XBMC stack…     Hopefully – as absolutely everything is compiled from source – the performance will be (relatively) good… After running for over 3 days, the compilation failed when compiling /lib/libsquish/libsquish-native.so: g++: error:  unrecognized command line option ‘-msse2’ This may possibly be an error caused by Fedora … Continue reading →

Self-Compiled XMBC, on the Pi..

Adventures With Linux ™ Posted on April 27, 2012 by RGApril 27, 2012

Now that I have Fedora 17 running OK, I will try the XBMC stuff…    There doesn’t seem to be a complete ‘image’ available yet, so I have got the git repository code from OpenELEC, and (just for fun) am actually compiling it all on the Pi..    Seems to be (roughly) as quick to compile as an old … Continue reading →
