Over the last couple of days I've been working a port of squeezelite/jivelite and a web control application to install on arch linux. This is intended to allow relatively easy installation of the application software on top of a the arch linux distribution which is well supported across multiple devices - including the wandboard.
This is very much a developer version at present. If you don't know what ssh is and don't like the linux command line then it is not for you. However it should allow users with wandboards (and potentially other devices) to install the squeeze playback and control applications and use the device as a squeezebox replacement...
If you would like to try and have a wandboard please try the following:
1) install arch linux on an sdcard for your device, for example for a wandboard:
http://archlinuxarm.org/platforms/ar...cale/wandboard
(go to the install tab for instructions of how to download and flash an image)
At present you need an existing linux machine for this. However if you use a wandboard then you can use the second microsd slot as the target card and perform the above instructions while running another linux image on the main microsd slot. The second slot is /dev/mmcblk1 (use in place of /dev/sdX in the arch install instructions) If you have a fresh wandboard then you can load the standard ubuntu image to enable you to do this.
2) boot the device from the arch linux image and ssh to the device using the username root and password root
3) follow the instructions at https://github.com/SqueezeOnArch/soa-aur which explain how to build and install squeeze on arch applications. This requires several minutes, but should be self explanatory for people used to the command line.
4) reboot the device and attach to it using the web interface from a browser.
5) if you are using a wandboard, to set up wifi networking at present you need to do this manually - see: http://blog.lemoneerlabs.com/post/wandboard-wifi
This is very much a development in progress - so please post here if you manage to try it out and have success or have any issues with it. The intention is that future versions improve the scripting of creating the initial image to simplify installation and also add web configuration of network interfaces etc.
I'm also interested of reports of this on other arm devices running arch linux. I've made the packages so they should build on armv6 as well as armv7 and intel so its is possible that it builds and runs on other devices...
