Raspberry Pi Zero W with Infineon Merus

[Michael_Hoban]

@Spockfish I would like to use a RPi Zero W with a Merus HAT to make a few WiFi speakers. Is the Zero W going to be approved for Roon-Ropieee in the future?

No Roon Bridge for Pi Zero W

Least expensive / cheapest Roon Bridge with analog out?

Thanks for this. I didn’t start using Pis until the 4 was almost released. Did some digging and Zero is 3 generations back. It’s not because its 32-bit (as I don’t believe 64 bit is required) but the architecture is: For reference: Pi Zero W ARM1176JZF-S. This is ARMv6 architecture. ARMv6 was introduced into the Raspberry Pi range on the Raspberry Pi B SBC in 2012. Pi 2 Cortex-A7. This is ARMv7-A architecture (32-bit). This architecture and the CPU on the 2… more details at the end*. …

This was confirmed by Roon in another thread but its easier to find my own right now.

Thank you for the very lucid explanation.

You can use piCorePlayer on Pi Zero W and enable Squeezelite support in ROON.
The drawback is you can not group Squeezelite and RAAT zones together.
