What is Manic Moose?
Manic Moose will be the third major firmware release for Bryston's digital player line up (BDP-1 & BDP-2). The first was Canadian Beaver (S0) and the second being Loony Loon (S1). This new iteration will be based on a minimal build of the Debian Wheezy Linux distribution and will contain a number of enhancements based on what worked in the previous major releases and what didn't work.
Why is this post?
To keep BDP customers informed on the status of the project and to get customer input.
How do I get Manic Moose?
These instructions should provide you with everything to install manic moose without taking your BDP apart.
In the event the update fails you'll want to make sure your able to take the top off of your unit, to do this you'll need a torx 8 screw driver and some patients/muscles as those screws are really on there. You'll also need a compact flash card reader to reflash the CF card inside of the BDP that contains the firmware, instructions on how to do this can be found from this link:
(Pages 3 & 4)
Once you have manic moose installed you'll likely want to upgrade to the latest build, the link below explains how to do this
