- an ARM SoC board with an ethernet connection like Raspberry, Cubieboard, BeagleBord, etc - depending on the board, an USB audio device (class 2 audio device) or I2S to SP/DIF converter - Linux - Squeezeslave A *possible* Open Source Squeeze player scenario: Once released to the public get a cubieboard. This board has ethernet, has an IR receiver and has an SP/DIF on the GPIO header. Connect an USB audio device that is supported in the linux kernel if you need line/analog output. Connect also an LCD/VFD module and write code to do some basic setup/usage as selecting the server to use, volume, next, previous via the IR remote. >From here you can take it anyware maybe add a touch/tft screen for a richer UI (develop a touch and small screen optimized skin for the Mediaserver and just use a http browser fullscreen on the player to control the player (instead of writing a lot of code). As the cubieboard will be fully open: extend the schematics and PCB design to include something like a onboard DAC...etc etc ------------------------------------------------------------------------ hsmeets's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=9716 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=96191 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/mailman/listinfo/discuss
