recalbox-rasplex

NOOBS distribution with Recalbox and Rasplex

Presentation

The aim of recalbox-rasplex is to produce a NOOBS distribution able to automatically install and configure at least Recalbox-OS (http://www.recalbox.com/) and RasPlex (http://www.rasplex.com/) systems on the same RaspberryPi SD card. (https://www.raspberrypi.org/)

Recalbox-rasplex is a hack of Buildroot (https://buildroot.org/) using its scripts to download, expand and configure existing system images for your hardware configuration. Unlike BuildRoot it does not build any system from sources, but get released images from NOOBS, Recalbox-OS and Rasplex update sites.

Current version

Noobs Lite v2.1
Recalbox-OS (one of following)
- v4.0.1 (default)
- v4.0.x last unstable build
- v4.1.x last unstable build
Rasplex (one of following)
- v1.6.2 (default)
- v1.8.0 Pre-release

System requirements

Because recalbox-rasplex is made on Buildroot, it is designed to run on Linux Systems. If you are using an other system (Windows, Macosx) configuring a Linux Virtual Machine could be a good option. (https://www.virtualbox.org/)

make

10 - Format a SD-Card with a unique Fat-32 bits partition in a msdos partition table

11 - Copy the content of the ./output/target directory into your SD-Card

12 - Insert the SD-Card into the Raspberry Pi

13 - Boot and select NOOBS options.

How it works

If you selected both Rasplex and Recalbox-OS and you choose a customized skin (Plex Black Edition or Aeon Nox 5) :

On Rasplex, you will have a new button (section) to reboot on Recalbox-OS
On Recalbox-OS to reboot on Rasplex, just reboot. (If Recalbox updates are downloaded, it will reboot on Recalbox-OS to finish the update)

If you selected both Rasplex and Recalbox-OS and you choose the standard skin (OpenPHT) you will have the noobs main menu to select which partittion you want to boot.
