Hi Folks,
I'm happy to announce the first Odroid U3 image for SqueezePlug.
This image is based on a xubuntu-13.10-Hard-Float based Version. The image will fit on a minimum 8 GB SD card or eMMC card coming with Odroid.

Login to SqueezePlug as always with user "root" and password "nosoup4u". After login start the configuration with "setup". First thing you should do after the initial setups is to expand the Root Filesystem from the Basic Configuration Menu. Choose <Expand_RootFS> from here.

The graphic desktop is disabled by default, if you like to enable it, choose <Odroid-Config> from the Basic Configuration Menu and choose option <4>. After a restart, the graphical desktop will be started if you are connection directly with an attached HDMI monitor. You can switch between the graphic desktop and a terminal by pressing <strg> <alt> <F1> together. with <strg> <alt> <F7> you will reach the graphic desktop again. If you like to configure your network settings, do it from Xcfe, the graphic desktop. There is a confortable network-manager included, you can even configure your WLAN settings from here.

You will be impressed about the performance of SqueezePlug for Odriod, even if you use eMMC. I think it's a great alternative to Raspberry Pi for Server, I like Raspberry Pi more as a player, because the multiple options for I2C soundcards.

This is the first version of SqueezePlug for Odroid, so don't blame me if something goes wrong. Please inform me and I'll find a solution. Some functions you know and love from SqueezePlug for Raspberry Pi are not included jet, maybe i'll implement them in future.


You will find the image on my download section of www.squeezeplug.de

Have fun,
Thomas

P.S.: I think the image will also work on Odroid U2 but I can't test it.
