Hi Everyone!
How can I shutdown my Raspberry Pi 3 RoonBridge? Just unplug from the power cable? Doesnt compromise the SD card?
Thanks!

There’s an iOS app called SimplePi that lets you do that, amongst other things.
iOS app as above, or if youre happy command line, ssh in and execute:
sudo shutdown -h now
That said when I need to I just flip the switch. Naughty, but been ok so far and life’s too short (generally) for grabbing a machine to ssh with (it ain’t a nuclear reactor control system after all).
Cool! I’ll give it a try in the app Stephen!
Lol Steve, I was doing that very often, but scary about my SD card
Thanks for the answers!

I use an app called Cathode on my iPad that lets me ssh into my NUC automatically once set up.
It also has a retro CRT monitor look that probably takes more programming than the actual sshing itself.
I started using DietPi a few weeks ago: a very minimal Raspbian distro with low process count and an easy installer/configurator. By default, DietPi’s logging is entirely into RAM, so during normal operation nothing is written to SD card. This makes your Pi rather resilient to ‘yanking the cord’.

Thanks for the update, I think I’ll have a play (As someone who hardly ever shuts down their Pis properly)
Got my first serving of Pi today, with a digi+ on top. Thanks to this guide I have it now up and running, though I managed to fry a sd card in the process
Thanks again @rbm for this great guide.
Hello, after building Roon Bridge based on Raspberry Pi 3 (BTW, despite all those usb/ethernet on the same bus discussions - rasppi played extremely well; I would say better than my fanless Intel NUC6i3) decided to go Cubox route.
Today my Cubox-i4 pro arrived, I followed instructions and…
Cubox is conected to my iFi iDSD Micro (via iUSB Power). DSD is only DoP.
Can anyone help me? Should I upgrade kernel? Install extra pakages? Thanks in advance for any help.
Which distro & kernel version are you currently running on your Cubox?
If I’m not mistaken, Armbian Legacy did do native DSD with my iDSD.
I followed your tutorial. Armbian Jessie, Legacy line, server version.
I was a little bit surprised 'cause the other day I followed your tutorial for Rasp Pi - everything went smooth, with native dsd playback. Tried to install archphile but I wasn’t able to ssh after installation (via ssh). So I’m stuck at the moment.
Ok, after 2 intensive days with Google, Linux forums and about 20 my microSD formatting - I found solution.
Maybe it’s not the most elegant solution but…
Here is what I did (very short version)
sudo apt-get install linux-image-next-cubox linux-dtb-next-cubox
IMPORTANT NOTES:
Thanks Rene for inspiring me to discover beauty of Cubox. It’s perfect. Always thought that Intel NUC with all the audio scripts, Fidelizer etc. gives the best sound. I was wrong. Period.
Rene:
Just wanted to pile on the thanks for this great tutorial… all in all, it took me less than an hour and my pi 3 is now a wonderful Roon endpoint feeding my stereo.
Thanks so much for the work!

Thank you for persisting and posting the update. I’ve dabbled with a Cubox and a DSD DAC only shortly – and it is entirely possible I was running Vanilla at that time – for that purpose. Anyway – new users wanting to play native DSD now know what to do.
There is an extra step needed since the November 2016 update to Jessie Lite:
You now need to create a file with no extension called ssh in the root of the boot image.
If you don’t, you won’t be able to ssh into the Pi.
Help needed - Linux newbie here so I’m following Rene’s instructions word for word.
Basically I can’t connect to the Pi through PUTTY (on my Windows 10 laptop); I get the error message ‘Network Error; Connection Refused’.
Googling the topic most people say it’s because of an IP address conflict. I’ve had problems with IP addresses through my powerline adapters so moved the Pi and connected it directly to the router. still no connection.
I’ve also gone through my McAfee firewall settings and added in a Port 22 as there wasn’t one in place. This made no difference (should there have been one defined in the firewall settings?)
So I’m stuck, any suggestions?
Thanks, Phil
Always helps if you read the post immediately before yours.
This would seem to be the problem. How do I ‘create a file with no extension called ssh in the root of the boot image.’
Raspbian has made an important change since the last release: SSH is now disabled by default.
It can be enabled at boot:
For headless setup, SSH can be enabled by placing a file named ‘ssh’, without any extension, onto the boot partition of the SD card.
Since you’re on Windows, you could save an empty text document without extension to your boot image, I guess.
Rene - how do you do that - the instructions you reference don’t go into any more detail.
Thanks
