Hello All,
I’ve received last week by mail Allo’s USBridge https://allo.com/sparky-eu/usbridge.html , it was easy to set up using the Allo Gui and got Roon singing really quick.
That same day, going through the admin page I saw that an update was pending and clicked for it. I don’t know what happened, it took forever and when I rebooted it did not work anymore.
USBridge does boot to Debian/DietPi but no trace of the Allo GUI. All the directories Allo/DietPi appeared to be empty.
I’m not literate in Linux, haven’t used it for too many years, and I don’t know how to recover the unit.
I had been using the Allo GUI with USBridge, but always used Dietpi-update for new releases. After the last Dietpi update, my USBridge would no longer drive my Pro-Ject Pre Box S2 Digital DAC. I wound up flashing the MMC card with the non GUI Dietpi image and things work OK now. I have had no problems with the GUI on my two Raspberry Pi devices using DigiOne and Boss DAC.
Thank You for the help.
Yesterday I tried 2 approaches using Etcher:
Flash a Thumb drive with the DietPi_SparkySBC-ARMv7-Stretch_AlloGUI image and insert it on the SBC. Remove the eMMC card and reboot. SBC did not boot.
Make an image of the eMMC and keep it safe in my Mac, flash the eMMC with the same DietPi_Sparky_AlloGUI, re-install the eMMC and reboot. SBC did not boot.
Do you have a link to an “Allo” copy of DietPi+AlloGUI that I can flash? Maybe I’m using the wrong one.
Any ideas on other solutions?
Hi Dan, many thanks for your reply
I managed to flash plain DietPi (w/out Allo) to the eMMC. I configured it and then installed package 159 (Allo GUI). After the package install it entered in an endless loop.
I re-installed DietPi, configured it with just Roon Bridge and it is up and running
Forget the Allo GUI
Thanks
