Kxstudio and Armbian

[Broomy]

Is it possible to enable the KXstudio Repo's when using Armbian?

AFAIK the ARM architecture doesn't support the SSE2 instruction set, which is a minimum requirement for most today's kxstudio audio applications.
So you might be out of luck.
You can check by entering
cat /proc/cpuinfo
in a terminal on your ARM device and look for the line beginning with "Features".
But maybe others can comment more.
(Running a Raspberry Pi3 Model B).

Ok thanks.
My mean goal is to setup guitarix, but I can build this from source as well (although using the KX-repo's would be the easy way... )

Do you use your RPI for audio application?
And if so what kind of tweaking did you do?

Hello/Hallo/Hey Hans,

I also would have chosen "the easy way" first, using kxstudio repos, welcome to the club
Alas, no I don't use my RPi for audio.
I wish you best efforts, may the open source be with you

I've got Guitarix up and running. So the goal is achieved. Processing audio with this board doable with reasonable specs: 48k, 512 en 3.
So, I'm happy with the results.

I would love to take it a step further and use these (newer) boards for recording audio. One big advantage is the absence of a ventilator when recording voice or acoustic guitar.

I've my eye on the new Orange Pi PC2 Orange Pi PC2, but I don't know if this is allready KXstudio-repo compatible. I think that when this is so, it might be a turning point for these boards, because then it would be very interesting for the everyday user.
