This guide should work for your A26 too. just sed "s/R26/A26/g" and it's perfect!
- Will to practice witchcraft
- Patience (R26's CPU is really slow)
- Linux knowledge
- Windows 10/11 with WSL 2 (updated to latest Windows Store version) or Linux
- Go to Gustard official site and download latest firmware.
- Do update but don't disconnect USB-C after flashing and continue to next step.
- If you're going to Windows WSL route, follow this to mount Gustard R26 to your WSL. Otherwise, just mount your R26 using
mounton Linux. - Generate SSH key with
ssh-keygen -t ed25519if you don't have one. - Run
cat ~/.ssh/id_ed25519.pub > authorized_keys && mkdir (your R26 mount path)/root/.ssh && cp authorized_keys (your R26 mount path)/root/.sshbut replace(your R26 mount path)to actually mounted directory. If you have other type of SSH key, replaceid_ed25519.pubwith appropriate file. - Unmount and power cycle (not standby) your R26.
- SSH into your R26 with
ssh root@(your R26's IP)but replace(your R26's IP)with your R26's IP address. - Change mirrorlist to use mirror that is close to you.
- Install fdisk with
apt install fdisk - Run
fdisk /dev/mmcblk0and typed<Enter>n<Enter><Enter><Enter><Enter><Enter>n<Enter>w<Enter>exactly. - Run
partx /dev/mmcblk0 && resize2fs /dev/mmcblk0p1 - Run
apt update && apt upgradeto fully upgrade the system.
- Run
echo "deb https://deb.debian.org/debian stretch main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list && echo "deb https://security.debian.org/debian-security stretch/updates main" >> /etc/apt/sources.list - Run
apt update && apt install -y multiarch-support libavformat57 libidn11 git libportaudio2* libflac++6v5* libavahi-common3 libavahi-client3 alsa-utils - Run these lines:
curl -O http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/o/openssl/libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u12_armhf.deb
dpkg -i ./libssl1.0.0_1.0.1t-1+deb8u12_armhf.deb
curl -O http://security.debian.org/debian-security/pool/updates/main/c/curl/libcurl3_7.38.0-4+deb8u16_armhf.deb
apt remove -y curl libcurl4
dpkg -i ./libcurl3_7.38.0-4+deb8u16_armhf.deb
apt install libidn11
- Finally, run these lines:
mkdir /usr/ifi
cd /usr/ifi
git clone https://github.com/shawaj/ifi-tidal-release
chmod +x /usr/ifi/ifi-tidal-release/play
chmod +x /usr/ifi/ifi-tidal-release/bin/tidal_connect_application
chmod +x /usr/ifi/ifi-tidal-release/pa_devs/run.sh
./ifi-tidal-release/file-deploy.sh
sed -i 's/passthrough false/passthrough true/g' /lib/systemd/system/ifi-streamer-tidal-connect.service
sed -i 's/mqa false/mqa true/g' /lib/systemd/system/ifi-streamer-tidal-connect.service
sed -i 's/HiTide RasPi Streamer/Gustard R26/g' /lib/systemd/system/ifi-streamer-tidal-connect.service
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl start ifi-streamer-tidal-connect.service
systemctl status ifi-streamer-tidal-connect.service
- All done!
Theoretically, the streamer should be the same. I think it'll work.
There is one more change to the instructions. You can also update upmpdcli which is UPnP Media Renderer. Since the www.lesbonscomptes.com repository key has expired, run the following lines before ssh into R26:
Then proceed to: SSHing into your R26 and expanding storage
Additionally:
If you are not using Roon, you can save 50MB of RAM by disabling Roon Bridge.
Temporarily:
systemctl stop roonbridge.serviceCompletely disable:
systemctl disable roonbridge.service
