you can use usb and have your source code on it, then just run it from there

good job

i think restart is mandatory, try adding:
restart()
{
stop
start
}

at the end of the file, chmod it you didn't already, enable and reboot

You should be able to connect to wireless as soon as it has power, but if i've seen right on your video wifi module isn't blinking when you power it, strange...

no problem

@Boken-Lin sorry, this is new to me, so what can I do with USB-to-serial? I thought i could use micro USB like normal usb and connect my old mp3 player as a data source, but i guess i can use it now to power arduino and communicate with it?

There is a micro usb on omega, is it possible to use it as second usb and not just power source?

i'm writing my own lightweight server for audio streaming, currently i've made frontend client which decodes mp3 file and send buffer to server, now i'm trying to write that buffer to a file and stream it with madplay on omega. Some future plan is to add sd card or some other data storage so i can queue more files or save songs which finish streaming and add them to some playlist

yes, and i have been struggling with this for days now, installed a bunch of crap and now i have to figure out how to clean it all up so i can run my node server with mp3 player, you have no idea how good it felt to hear the sound after days of googling, compiling, installing and removing modules.
I just hope I'll be able to return the favour some day

Thomas you are my hero, i love you

finally some hope
do you know why i get these errors or how to load these modules, can you also upload kmod-input-core?

@Thomas-Jones I get this:

did you have success with usb sound card audio? I mean, can you play sound with omega

using --force-depends now throws this:

how do i set the right kernel? I have no idea why 4.1 is used

i'm planning to cross-compile kmod-usb-audio, it's just taking forever for initial build to finish, i have no idea how many hours have already passed. Hopefully I'll be able to compile it in next few hours.
I've tried with ignore-depends and even some other kmods from other repos but nothing works

thanks, i'm compiling it now, do you have a repository where we can upload packages for omega or should i just upload it on my server and post a link?
also how do you add package that is not listed in menuconfig? for example i would like to add alsa package, i found few on other openwrt repos but can't use them. Do i download source and if i do, where do i put it?

so let's say i want to compile some package, i need alsa sound drivers, when i run madplay some.mp3 i get
MPEG Audio Decoder 0.15.2 (beta) - Copyright (C) 2000-2004 Robert Leslie et al.
audio: /dev/dsp: No such device or address

or to compile libasound2-dev or for start any other package, what's the process to compile step by step?
teach me how to do this and i'll host or contribute all packages i compile

it's never easy
but to be honest this is a lot easier than arduino and c programming, now I'm using nodejs instead of c but there is a whole other pack of problems like cross-compiling sound lib so i can use usb sound card.
So comparing this to other stuff out there... this IS easy

can someone help me out with cross-compile guide?
i have followed the guide and read some topics here about it, and not sure if I even want to flash it now (someone bricked onion and the other guy had no default wifi setup and web interface or something like that)
I want to compile libasound2-dev for omega and install sound drivers, i've tried installing kmod-usb-audio but i didn't get any sound devices after that.

Currently I have selected kmod-usb-audio and other audio modules, and not sure if i flash it will cause the same problem like to that other guy who lost wifi support and web interface.

What do you advise?

Also an example how to cross-compile some package ("for dummies") would be nice

maybe this can help: http://fibasile.github.io/new-node-modules.html
