RAM Impact

[Miss Sissy Princess]

Code:

S Y S T E M   P A R A M E T E R S

moOde release = 7.3.0 2021-06-25
RaspiOS = 10.6
Linux kernel = 5.4.77-v7l+ #1371
Platform = Pi-4B 1.2 4GB
...
Memory free = 3534 MB
Memory used = 91 MB
SoC temperature = 39.4°C

As you can see from the excerpt above, spending $20 extra to get 4GB RAM instead of 2GB RAM was a real genius move on my part {/sarcasm}. Idling, moOde is using less than 100MB.  Playing a 24/96 ALAC track, it's using less than 200MB.

Mine is pretty barebones.  The local display is disabled.  Airplay, Spotify, and Squeezelite renderers are disabled, as is WiFi (it's hardwired Ethernet).  Basically, it's the web serving of the moOde interface, reading from a USB disk, and feeding samples out to a USB DAC.  That's it.

I'm sure that I could find ways to make moOde use some more RAM, but I'm probably going to downsize to a 2GB Pi-4B for moOde and repurpose the 4GB Pi-4B for a public-facing web server (that I am currently running on a Pi-3B+).
