Satellite image for RasPi 3

[Greg O'Drobinak]

Greetings!

Is there a Satellite CCRMA image available for the Raspberry Pi model 3?

Is it optimized for best performance on this platform?

Thanks in advance!

BTW, Edgar, have you looked at the BeagleBoard-X15 for a possible image for Satellite?

This would be quite a powerhouse, especially with the twin floating-point DSPs.

I know it is not yet available, but perhaps you could wrangle a test board out of them.   :>}

Kind regards,

Greg

Hi,

Right now the image only works for Raspberry Pi 2 (that I've tested). I find that it will run about eight times as many filters as the Raspberry Pi 1 generation boards.

Regarding Raspberry Pi 3, I'm not sure how much more powerful it would be yet, but I'm planning to wait before investigating possibly making an image for it anyway. I'll let you know if I do benchmark it. The last time they changed architectures, it took a very long time for the code repos to get cleaned up. The same thing is happening this time — it will be a long time before they get the 64-bit repos working well, so I don't see a good reason to remake the image right now.

In my opinion, the actual board BeagleBoard-X15 is quite large compared to some of these other boards, so I'm not likely to create an image for it ever. Also, I'm currently interested in being able to run general-purpose code rather than writing custom code for specialized hardware.

Best!

Edgar, thanks for the info!

I can see your point about the distros, but benchmarks suggest a 50% speed boost over the Pi2, so maybe 12 times the filters available on a Pi1 may be realizable.

Couple that with the on-board WiFi & Bluetooth and you have a very nice platform that could integrate with other wireless computers/tablets, without having to spend more money for wireless connectivity. So it could be a good step forward.for Satellite.

As for the X15, I see your point about custom coding.

Also, that board may be quite expensive when it is released and I would expect the power consumption to be higher.

Kind regards,

Greg

I’ve been working with Next Thing Co on the CHIP computer. While the processor isn’t as powerful as the Pi, it has built-in bluetooth, wifi, decent built-in audio, comes with an OS (no fussy SD card), runs mainline linux, and is super cheap. I’d definitely be interested in learning more about kernel tweaks that improve audio performance, and see about getting a satellite distro running on this thing. I’ve been working with PD on it, and getting some good results.

Hi, Greg, I managed to make an image that runs on the RPi 3 based on the last Satellite 1.05 image.

It is not fully tested, nor benchmarked, and the process was quite painful, but if you want to try it let me know, I will tell you how I did it.

Cheers

[Greg O'Drobinak]

Hi, Leo! 

I would like to try that load.
Please send me the info to obtain it.

Thanks very much!

Which benchmarks?

[Edgar J. Berdahl]

I'm not planning to support that board because it is physically so large.

Hey Leo, I would like to try your version for Raspberry 3! Please send me info for obtaining it!
Thank you all for your work.

[Jacob C]

i'd really love to obtain an image like that myself. if i could get the info for that too it'd be much appreciated

[Troy Witherow]

Is there a way I could get your rpi 3 version?

[Sam Roberts]

Hello,

Is there any more information about this for rpi3?

[Leon Trimble]

+1 on that. Also has anyone tried it on pi zero?

Bump! : ) 

I agree * ^

Dear all,

Sorry for the delay in preparing the image for RPi 3. Here is the version of the image that I handed out in class yesterday for the current term--I will post it on the website after a few more days of testing it with the students.

http://ccrma.stanford.edu/~eberdahl/Satellite/SatelliteCCRMA_Rpi_v1.06.dd.gz

It is quite similar to the last image except that it is built from the ground up off of a more recent version of the Raspbian image so that it works on RPi 3.

Best,

Edgar

I'm super excited about this, thanks! Downloading the card image now.. 

I was not able to get the card image for Pi 2 to work, but I was using a Pi 2 Model B so maybe it's not the correct model? 

I also have a Pi 3 Model B so I'm hoping this new version will work. 

Question about the uncompression process - I used 7-Zip to uncompress in the past (because for some reason the command lines will not work on Windows 10) and attempted to write the card image to a 16gb card by drag-dropping the unzipped folder contents onto the card (formatted to exFat) 

I'm probably missing some very key steps in this process, but I am somewhat new to the world of Pi and could use some advice. 

Any and all help is greatly appreciated. 

[0hm_Mic_0dd]

Update: nothing will work using Windows 10 (or any version of Windows for that matter). 

I'm now using a Mac mini to build which seems to work, but I was trying to build the card image for RPi 2 on RPi 2 Model B but will that even work? 

I have two Pi's: a 2 and a 3, both are Model B's. Will any of the available card images work on these or do I need to acquire new Pi's? 

[Dave]

It sounds like you are trying to just drag and drop the image to the sd card using the file manager, but that won’t work. You need to use a tool that writes the image to the sd card correctly. See the instructions for “Etcher”

No I followed the tutorial using Terminal on Mac. Here's a screenshot: 

[0hm_Mic_0dd]

And here's a screenshot of the Pi 2 trying to boot up: 

One thing I forgot to do was unplug all USB connections while booting so I might try rebuilding the card image again and boot with nothing plugged in. Unless anyone has other ideas? 

[0hm_Mic_0dd]

I tried a second time, this time with no peripherals connected and got the same result. It asks me for a satellite login as well (?) .. 

If anyone knows the mystery answer here, I'd love to find out. Is it because this is a Pi 2 Model B and I'm using the image for Pi 2 regular? 

[0hm_Mic_0dd]

I think it actually WAS working, just wasn't seeing the page with the login info but I found it. I was able to remote-in to the pi and access PD, Arduino, etc. I have a lot to learn, but I'm gonna check out some of the projects. 

Thanks very much!!
