Create is an explorative movement within Bang & Olufsen. Our mission is to inspire and be inspired by the global creative community.
Beocreate 2 is the software suite for Beocreate 4-Channel Amplifier. It replaces the old setup tool and system software shipped with the ReCreate project in 2018. It has been redesigned from the ground up to be more flexible, more reliable and future-proof.
Beocreate Connect is a new companion application (for Mac + Windows) that automatically and instantly discovers all Beocreate 2 sound systems on the network, without typing a single IP address.
Beocreate 2 is bundled with HiFiBerryOS as its official user interface. On systems that use other HiFiBerry sound cards, the user interface carries HiFiBerry branding.
As Beocreate 2 is part of HiFiBerryOS, the recommended way is to download the latest image of HiFiBerryOS for your Raspberry Pi generation and write it to a microSD card. Get HiFiBerryOS
Alternatively, you can use the Buildroot system to build HiFiBerryOS yourself. Building HiFiBerryOS

(No current issues)
The original code for the project (SigmaTCPDaemon, SigmaClientTool Beocreate Server and the bang-olufsen.com-based setup tool) has been archived under the beocreate1 branch.
The old DSP programs are in the Speakers directory, but please note that these aren't fully compatible with Beocreate 2. Beocreate 2 comes built in with the speaker presets for these models.
