Updating raspbmc (and similar distributions)

As the HiFiBerry DAC+ drivers are not included in all distributions yet, you might need to update the kernel.

Here is a short guide how to update rasbmc to the latest official kernel:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y git-core curl binutils
sudo apt-get install -y ca-certificates
sudo wget https://raw.github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-update/master/rpi-update -O /usr/bin/rpi-update && sudo chmod +x /usr/bin/rpi-update
sudo reboot

You still might need to configure /etc/modules as described here:
