Instructions for how to create my own build (Raspberry Pi Zero 2 on Freeplay Zero)? - barleyguy - 11-03-2021
Greetings. This is directly relevant to the two threads about the Pi Zero 2, but also in general. Are there directions posted somewhere about how to create our own software builds for your products? For example, which drivers are needed for the screen, controls, and sound?
There is a new recalbox beta for the Pi Zero 2. I'd like to download it and adapt it for the Freeplay Zero. Also, in tye future I would like the option to keep up to date even if you haven't posted a new build.
So, if possible, can you point me to directions for how to build for the Freeplay Zero?
Thanks.

====== UPDATE ======
Check the "SD Image Files" link at https://www.freeplaytech.com/build/
The test image should be there, now.

There isn't a specific list of directions, but there is a couple places with enough info to do it.
This document is now more notes on what things to add/change to the base RetroPie image.

This repository has scripts to do some of the important steps that are discussed in the notes above. The Readme has a one-line command to start the install.

I'd also recommend reading the script at https://github.com/TheFlav/Freeplay-Support/blob/master/Full_Install.sh
I expect my Pi Zero 2 to arrive today (may be in my mailbox at the moment), and I will be working on it.
I will likely build a new SD image for the Pi Zero 2 (and maybe it will also work with the CM3). It would be released under the "SD Image Files" link at

Thanks much, for the directions and the possible new image. I'll keep an eye out for it. You'll probably have it posted before I get the headers on my Pi Zero 2.
Mine came in the mail about an hour ago. I should be testing it standalone today. :-)

Mine was here after lunch. I worked yesterday setting it up using a Pi3 and a CM3 for testing. I think it's working fine on the Zero2 also. I'm imaging the SD card. Then, I have to do some other things with the image file before it's ready to upload. Maybe it'll be up in an hour or so.
