Setup Digital Dreamtime Akkordion Music Player
This project is to install piCorePlayer onto a Digital Dreamtime Akkordion Music Player which has a DAC based on the OEM IQAudIO DAC+ or DAC Zero module.
This Akkordion is a rare example of an early Raspberry Pi based music streamer. It uses a Raspberry Pi 2B and a pre-HAT specification i2s DAC added to the GPIO port. This means the sound card overlay is not automatically loaded and requires a correctly configured config.txt. This Akkordion is routinely used as a test bed for piCorePlayer, so putting together these few notes will serve as a test procedure and maybe help others setup similar old hardware.
