Audio player and renderer fo 8000 r Raspberry Pi
- For all Raspberry Pis: Zero, 1, 2, 3 and 4
- Create RuneAudio+R from latest releases of Arch Linux Arm
- Interactive interface by only 2 command lines:
#1
wget -qO create-alarm.sh https://github.com/rern/RuneOS/raw/master/usr/local/bin/create-alarm.sh; chmod +x create-alarm.sh; ./create-alarm.sh
#2
create-rune.sh- Options:
- Run
ROOTpartition on USB drive - Run on USB only - no SD card (boot from USB)
- Pre-configure Wi-Fi connection (headless mode)
- Exclude features (can be as light as possible in terms of build time and disk space)
- Run
- More details: Forum
Procedure
- Prepare partitions
- Create Arch Linux Arm

- Optional - pre-configure Wi-Fi (For reliable connection, use wired LAN if possible)
- Download and verify
- Write
BOOTandROOTpartitions - Connect PC to Raspberry Pi
- Create RuneAudio
- Select features
- Upgrade kernel and default packages
- Install feature packages (from official and RR repo)
- Install web interface
- Configure
- Set default settings
- Optionals
- Setup Wi-Fi auto-connect
- Create image file
Need
- PC - Linux - any distro
- or on USB e.g., Manjaro - Arch Linux
- or on Raspberry Pi itself (If no GUI,
fdiskandmountskills needed.) - or on VirtualBox on Windows (with network set as
Bridge Adapter) - Slowest
- Raspberry Pi
- Network connection to Raspberry Pi
- Wired LAN
- Optional: Wi-Fi (if necessary)
- Media:
- Option 1: Micro SD card: 4GB+ for
BOOT+ROOTpartitions - Option 2: Micro SD card + USB drive (
ROOTpartition on USB drive)- Micro SD card: 100MB+ for
BOOTpartition only - USB drive: 4GB+ for
ROOTpartition (or USB hard drive with existing data)
- Micro SD card: 100MB+ for
- Option 3: USB drive only - no SD card (Boot from USB drive)
- Raspberry Pi 3 and 2 v1.2 only (4 not yet supported)
- USB drive: 4GB+ for
BOOT+ROOTpartition
- Note for USB drive:
- Suitable for hard drives or faster-than-SD-card thumb drives.
- It takes less than 20 minutes for the whole process with a decent download speed.
- Boot from USB drive:
- Suitable for solid state drives.
- Normal hard drive needs external power, e.g., powered USB hub, to have it spin up 5+ seconds before boot.
- Boot takes 10+ seconds longer (detect no sd card > read boot loader into memory > boot)
- Option 1: Micro SD card: 4GB+ for
- On Linux PC
- Open GParted app (Manjaro root password:
manjaro) - 3 Alternatives:
- Micro SD card only
- Micro SD card + USB drive
- USB drive only
Alternative 1: Micro SD card only

- or USB drive - with existing data:
- No need to reformat or change format of existing partition
- Resize the existing to get 3500MiB unallocated space (anywhere - at the end, middle or start of the disk)
- Create a partition in the space:
| No. | Size | Type | Format | Label |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| (any) | (existing) | primary | (any) | (any) |
| (any) | 3500MiB | primary | ext4 | ROOT |
Alternative 3: USB drive only
- Enable boot from USB: Set boot bit (Micro SD card can still be used as usual if inserted.)
- Create partitions: (Drive with existing data must be resized and rearranged respectively.)

Setup Wi-Fi auto-connect for headless/no screen (if not set during build)
- On Linux or Windows
- Insert micro SD card
- 3 alternatives:
- From existing
- Backup the profile file from
/etc/netctl/PROFILE - Rename it to
wifithen copy it toBOOTbefore power on.
- Backup the profile file from
- Edit template file - name and password
- Open
wifi0in BOOT with text editor - Edit SSID and Key
- Save as
wifi
- Open
- Generate a complex profile - static IP, hidden SSID
- With Pre-configure Wi-Fi connection
- Save it in BOOT
- From existing
- Move micro SD card to Raspberry Pi
- Power on
Create image file
- Once started RuneAudio+R successfully
- Reset for image
ssh root@<RPI IP>
wget https://github.com/rern/RuneOS/raw/master/resetforimage.sh -O - | sh-
Power off
-
Move micro SD card (and the USB drive, if
ROOTpartition is in USB drive) to PC -
Resize
ROOTpartition to smallest size possible with GParted app (smaller the size = smaller image file and less time to flash SD card)- menu: GParted > Devices > /dev/sd?
- right-click
ROOTpartiton > Unmount - right-click
ROOTpartiton > Resize/Move - drag rigth triangle to fit minimum size
- menu: Edit > Apply all operations
-
Create image - SD card mode
- on Windows (much faster): Win32 Disk Imager > Read only allocated partitions
