I have a Raspberry Pi 3B, 1GB or RAM and I understand that the picore is loaded entirely in RAM but what's happening that it only shows 1/10th of what's available?

What is being reported in dmesg?

Is it piCore or piCorePlayer? Which version? What is print out of the free command?

Hi bmarkus,

We don't use "dropbear" in piCorePlayer and squeezelite process is not being displayed, so I suspect piCore.

regards
Greg

Thanks Greg. Lets see details of version, etc.

You need to edit the config.txt file to get max ram memory, instead of using memory for the gpu. I think the lowest is 16mb like this gpu_mem=16. If you don't want to use the gpu, like some headless linux box.

Take a look at this page.
