My own notes, hints, etc.
We need:
– Raspberry Pi
– notebook with SD card port for cards that fit into RasPi
– hdmi cable + monitor
– usb keyboard and mouse
How to:
– flash the card, load it with image you decided best for you
– login to shell (ssh pi@IP.address), default pwd is raspberry
– configure RPI by sudo raspi-config, change pwd to pi / Radio5678
– sudo apt-get update
– install cmdpad (scripts bound to keyboard hits), should be replaced by preinstalled thd – trigger happy daemon
– install mpd (music player with server, accessible remotely) + mpc (client for it)
Installer
that sets up the radio on Raspberry Pi, just unpack it and run „sudo make install“

I’m using:
* before: http://www.linuxsystems.it/2012/06/debian-wheezy-raspberry-pi-minimal-image
* now: 2014-06-20-wheezy-raspbian.zip (2_8gb)
* Installed .img on card using the sourceforge.net/projects/win32diskimager
* Does not boot (leds dead), have to update firmware because I have 512mb (stated in comments on page)
* Upgrading firmware:
* https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/tree/master/boot
* download all single files
* copy them to existing sd card boot folder in windows, overwrite existing files
* bootable, leds are on
* requested IP from DHCP
* ssh to the IP
* login: root / raspberry
* logged in

Sprav makefile
/etc/modules – add ipv6
For Ubuntu users, if your directories and files are on other devices, like /dev/hda1, you must add mpd user to „plugdev“ group.
