Hi there,
I've installed RaspyFi onto an SD card and got it up and running with my Raspberry Pi and it has worked great for an old sound system that was lying around.
I was a bit curious to look at how things work, so basically looked at the /etc/rc.local script and followed on from there. I would like to mess around with some of these scripts and was wondering how best to do this. My first thought was to run the distribution using VirtualBox, but I was unable to do this for reasons I've not yet uncovered.
I'm wondering if any of you guys developing this might share how you've set up a development environment for this project? I can see you've got code up on github at https://github.com/Tsunamp/RaspyFi. I'm not sure how I can use this… (sorry if this is obvious but I'm no expert:))
Thanks,
Ivad
Running a ARM ditribution on virtualbox that runs on x86/64 wont work out of the box.
Before the R-pi came out there were people already testing the Raspbian distribution using virtualization it needs a few tricks to get it running youll need to google that yourselve if you want to do it.
But i woudnt say its nessesary to run raspyfi in a virtualbox envirenoment, you can just copy the original files and name them [defaultname.extension].backup and place them back if you destroyed something or reflash the SD card when debian doesnt run at all.
Its just some config files if you keep a backup of those at hand you shoudnt have to much trouble testing/tweaking/tinkering on the configuration files
about github, i dont know never really used it

Thanks for the pointer – it's not something that would have dawned on me. It was enough for me to figure out I would need something like qemu. I managed to get Raspian running with qemu (using http://xecdesign.com/qemu-emul…..-easy-way/), but not yet RaspyFi. But perhaps you're right that I might not need to.
