Has anyone got a working .tgz file of squeezeboxserver-7.6 to install in ffp? I'd like to avoid manual installation or installing a complete new ffp with squeezebox installed, because mine is heavily configged at this point.

There's 7.6.0 in my experimental packages for 0.6. Doesn't work on the 323, but works fine at least on 343 and 325.

Hermessor · 2011-07-03 19:52:50

Will it ever work on the 323? I have a 323, so sadly I need the support on the 323.

fonz · 2011-07-03 20:58:54

no

Hermessor · 2011-07-03 21:06:50

Okay, so the best thing I can do, is get a new 325 and try to sell the 323.

Thanks for the work, fonz! I have made good use of your fun_plug.

This is a bit off-topic, but I see on the ffp-0.6 page that it uses uClibc 0.9.32.
Would it be possible to update ffp-0.5 to that version as well?
I'd also be interested in an updated version of gcc.
I'm able and willing to attempt it myself, but I'm not sure if any of the newer packages need to be patched in order to work on the NAS.

Thanks in advance!

I'm not going to update ffp 0.5 with all that. The new packages should run on all/most EABI firmwares. That includes CH3SNAS, etc. I think it's only the 323 that still uses OABI.

No. All ZyXEL NASses (220, 210, 221, 320 and 310) also use OABI.

fonz · 2011-07-04 16:22:19

I see. Thanks for the reminder.

Would flashing the Alt-F firmware work around this?
I have no knowledge at all about OABI or EABI and it's implications.
Wikipedia wasn't helpful about these subjects.

Mijzelf · 2011-07-06 16:35:57

That is perfectly possible. The kernel configuration file (.config) set if the kernel will support EABI and/or OABI. EABI is newer (duh! OABI stands for Old ABI) and more efficient, especially at handling floating points, so it's the preferred choice.
Since Alt-F has it's own (newer) kernel, I suppose the developer has choosen for EABI.

KyleK · 2011-07-06 16:39:38

Is there a way to test whether one's system uses EABI or OABI?

Mijzelf · 2011-07-06 16:52:00

Yes. If you have access to the .config file (GPL sources, or /proc/config.gz):
CONFIG_AEABI=y means EABI,
CONFIG_AEABI=n or not set means OABI,
CONFIG_AEABI=y and CONFIG_OABI_COMPAT=y means both.
When you don't have .config, you can try to chroot (or install) FFP 0.5, if it works =>OABI, and FFP 0.6 => EABI.
(And when both work, both are supported)

I suppose there should be an easier way to test it, maybe two executables with libc (EABI or OABI) statically linked.

Code:

# readelf -h /bin/busybox | grep Flags
  Flags:                             0x5000002, has entry point, Version5 EABI

I think it needs to show at least Version4 EABI.

EABI is faster in many cases, and running OABI programs (ffp 0.5) on EABI kernels isn't 100% reliable.
Afaik, Alt-F has EABI kernels. So, yes, the packages should work on Alt-F.

KyleK · 2011-07-06 19:12:32

Code:

KyleK@CH3SNAS ~$ readelf -h /bin/busybox | grep Flags
14:  Flags:                             0x2, has entry point, GNU EABI

Hehe, I knew something like this would come up :) (This is the CH3SNAS)

I'll try out ffp-0.6 as soon as I have some free time.

EDIT: Nope, doesn't seem to work. The logfile shows 2 segmentation faults after the .tar has been extracted. Too bad :/

I think you are mistaken. On my NSA-220:

Code:

root@nsa220:~# readelf -h /bin/busybox | grep Flags
  Flags:                             0x4000002, has entry point, Version4 EABI
root@nsa220:~# cat .config | grep EABI
# CONFIG_AEABI is not set

Isn't this about the communication between libs and binaries, while the kernel EABI is about communication between libc and the kernel?

Holidays coming up in two weeks. Time to schedule a day or two for testing.

i've installed fun_plug 0.6 and installation works. (It was nessasary to deinstall german-language package from dlink and deactivate all services (UPNP,Itunes-Server,...)
I've done the tasks to activate SSH-login und have copied the packages form the testing-directory.
then I've installed squeezeboxserver . on port 9000 is nothing.
after this I've upadated and installed all packages with funpkg -u *.txz and funpkg -- i *.txz.
same: no squeezeboxserver at 9000.

Does I have something miss? Where can I get help/tutorial for install packages and activate squeezeboxserver?

thanks

PS: Sorry for bad english

For info
Installed SBS 7.6.0 on dns323 debian squeeze from deb package. But it doesnt run.

it doesn't start automatically. one way to start squeezebox server is:

Code:

cd /ffp/var/log/fp
nohup fp.master &
fpc r sbs

Run "fpc" to check if it's still running. Output of squeezeboxserver is redirected to /ffp/var/run/fp/sbs.log and sbs.err.
