If you have raspberry pi 3 then here is
an version of fatdog arm to try.
There's a good assortment of apps in the fatdogarm repository.
http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/arm/packages/beta/
I use my board to play music (headless i.e. no monitor and keyboard)
Dropbear is used (SSH clone)
Samba and OMX player is now included.
This is targeted to Raspberry pi3 users who want a general purpose
operating system that is reasonably fast and it can be used as a music player.

Installation is easy.

Note that config.txt file uses hdmi_safe=1 at first boot
Should give the same results as:
hdmi_force_hotplug=1
config_hdmi_boost=4
hdmi_group=2
hdmi_mode=4
disable_overscan=0
Change if you want.
Put music files in /Music folder. These will be played at startup.

2) You can install using Windows or a Linux computer
Format your micro SD card as fat32 using a windows or linux formatter.
In linux I recommend you zero out the card first...
If you are using Windows to format the SD card then I recommendjust do "dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/<flash-drive-device-name> bs=1M count=1". After doing this Gparted will regard you flash drive as completely empty and will offer to create a new MS-DOS partition table - which you should accept.

A quick formating to fat32 is all that is needed.
Open up fatdogarm-pi3-06-14-2018.zip. Inside the folder you will see some files and folders .
Drag the contents of the folder to a freshly formatted (fat32) micro SD card.
3) Take out the card from its adaptor and insert in your raspberry pi3
computer. Plug in the power cable. If you wish, you can plug in your
ethernet cable and a wireless adapter.
4)If you have savefile=direct:local in cmdline.txt file
While booting ---> the OS will find a default named save file (fdsave.ext4) and automatically
go to desktop.
If you have savefile=ask
While booting ---> the OS asks for a save file , just press the <ENTER> key.
The operating system will automatically find the fatdog save file.
Note that user's documents and config files are in that save file.
5) You will soon see the desktop with a giant clock on it.

Set your wlan with the tray app.
Check if your ethernet device has been recognized
Tip: Type 'ifconfig' in terminal to check if a network address has been assigned.
___________________________________________________________
The built-in wireless should be easy to set up using the control panel app.
An externel wireless adapter requires some work. Here is how I made the connection...
I first checked that the wireless driver had loaded properly...
Code: Select all
dmesg | more
I saw...
Code: Select all
usbcore: registered new interface driver carl9170
Next I connected my adapter to a wifi network
Control panel > network > Network Setup
(or type 'network-setup.sh' in terminal)
SSID (the router's network name) and wireless password for my Cisco router is entered .
See network setup here....
http://distro.ibiblio.org/fatdog/web/fa ... rking.html
Activate wlan0 now with Network Setup
_____________________________________________
To check the activation....
Type 'ifconfig' in terminal and wlan0 will have a network address assigned to it now.
It is different than ethernet address.
I could find a windows server with fatdog_connect.sh
Network > Fatdog connect
Fill in the address of server and the Share name.
Click 'Connect'
