[looks around the room] Me? I thought you knew. ;-) I assume it's the CPLD which is sometimes mentioned. See here: http://www.slimdevices.com/photos/inside_squeezebox2/, last photo. I believe it contains the SlimDSP - all the codecs. At any rate, it appears to be the chip after the CPU but before the DAC, which does a good portion of the audio decoding and processing. CPLD stands for "complex programmable logic device" - I would assume it contains the SlimDSP which can be rewritten by changing the firmware. Which is why the SB2/SBv3/Transporter is so flexible, there's no hard-wired codec chip, it can be reprogrammed. Unlike the SB1 and SliMP3. > I googled it and it seems to be a chip manufacturer - is it the chip > which sits in the squeezebox and does the digital signal processing? Yeah, let's go with that. ;-) > And so this is something separate from the reset achieved by repluging > in the power whilst holding down the + button which is mentioned in the > user handbook? I would assume the Xilinx gets reprogrammed with a reset as well, but the advantage of reprogramming the Xilinx only is that it clears any audio aberrations while preserving your networking settings - it's a pain to re-enter that 63-character WPA passphrase! If you try it you will literally see "Reprogramming Xilinx" on bootup. -- Mark Lanctot ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Mark Lanctot's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2071 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=31692 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
