meta-lms
========
This layer provides recipes for slimserver and its perl module dependencies,
as well as recipes for squeezelite and jivelite. The recipes had been tested
on Raspberry Pi 3 B+ with the official 7" touch display.
Dependencies
============
This layer depends on below repositories:
URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/poky
branch: thud
URI: git://git.yoctoproject.org/meta-raspberrypi
branch: thud
URI: git://git.openembedded.org/meta-openembedded
branch: thud
The BBLAYERS in bblayers.conf on my build machine looks like below:
BBLAYERS ?= " \
${BSPDIR}/poky/meta \
${BSPDIR}/poky/meta-poky \
${BSPDIR}/meta-openembedded/meta-oe \
${BSPDIR}/meta-openembedded/meta-multimedia \
${BSPDIR}/meta-openembedded/meta-perl \
${BSPDIR}/meta-raspberrypi \
${BSPDIR}/meta-lms \
${BSPDIR}/meta-rpi-home \
"
How to build
============
Following DISTRO_FEATURES and IMAGE_FEATURES may need to add to your build
depends on what specified in IMAGE_INSTALL:
- DISTRO_FEATURES
systemd (for slimserver, squeezelite, jivelite)
alsa (for squeezelite)
x11 (for jivelite)
- IMAGE_FEATURES
x11-base (for jivelite)
For enabling audio support on raspberry pi, we need to add below to conf file:
RPI_EXTRA_CONFIG = ' \n \
# Enable audio (loads snd_bcm2835) \n \
dtparam=audio=on \n \
'
You may build all 3 into one image to run both server and player in one place,
or just build slimserver to run as server, and build squeezelite with/without
jivelite to run as player. Add the image(s) to IMAGE_INSTALL and then bitbake.
How to run
==========
All 3 should be started automatically as systemd service after boot.
For first time use:
- slimserver is delayed until an active network is configured. In my case,
wpa_supplicant is used to connect WIFI due to I do not have direct Internet
access via Ethernet cable. The reason to add Internet constraints are:
1. Login to www.mysqueezebox.com
2. Listen to online radio (my new entertainment now. :))
- jivelite needs to select a skin, where "Joggler Skin" fits the official 7"
touch display well.

This tiny layer started as a personal side project for learning Yocto, special
thanks to Mark Jonas, who inspired, guided and encouraged me to solve a lot of
puzzles and thus I'm able to put every pieces together. Thanks, Mark! :)
