Super Advanced audio / media system using Beaglebone Black

[bstro...@gmail.com]

Its been a long time in development, and well we can always use more help in getting this project off the ground.

We have created an advanced audio system that can use wireless wifi speakers, can record to built in hard drive, and uses a maxim 98089 codec. This system has in testing even send video streams to chrome cast devices. It uses Rest http technology to control it from Iphones, Windows, and Android.   The development was long and arduous.   We have a starter web stie up.  I will be making more posts as to the actual technical details of it all, we appreciate any input.  Golang, Delphi  and Beagle specific help is even more appreciated. You can find a link from our project page that shows the incredible power of this system.

My work has taken me away from this project.   Help us save this idea!

Thanks Jay

Thanks Robert,  we have already set up a preliminary indiegogo page, unfortunatly one must get a project to 'trend' in order to be successful.   Hence thats part of the reason we are here and on other forums, to get a group of followers who care to give financial, technica supportl, and of course encouragement and advice!  

heres the link, for the page...  its not live yet, but hopefully will be soon.

Hey Jason,

I am working on a release.  Initially I will just supply a image for sd card, it has compiled system and source both on it.   Due to fact some may not want to pay for the Maxim evaluation board,   http://www.digikey.com/product-detail/en/maxim-integrated/MAX98089EVKIT%23WLP/MAX98089EVKIT%23WLP-ND/2708761

 I'm going to work on a release that simply makes use of  linux alsa amixer oriented audio so usb and other generic alsa devices can play music. 

It will be  a few days. Before I can do this.    The alsa-soc platform / machine source code will be in a different package.   This code is a bit revolutionary as it doesnt care about I2C communications with codec.   The I2C or if codec has USB FTDI capability, volume, eq controls are handled from user space code.   What that means is one may very well be able to use any codec that meets our devices ( the beagle/codec)  I2S clocks and pin usage assignments.   This code works great, perhaps with some extra capabilities added in,  gone will be the days of needing custom devicetree  alsa-soc platform/machine code for each particular codec.  At least on the am335x thats our goal.

We have added some additional info on software topology, the codec and other things at the project page.   I'm still trying to figure out how to get 15 gigabytes of our sd card image onto the web  :/

Hey Robert,  I have the alsa-soc / Device Tree source for the maxim 98089 codec on the BBB if you want to add it to the beagle source tree.   I'm giving it to the BBB community.  This is a I2S only device driver. User must use a userspace I2C routine or our FTDI over usb routine to send it commands. The chip / development board may be around for a while as its the codec used in many Google Chrome books.    Let me know if you want it.

We have now added info for hooking up the CODEC to the Beaglebone,  its pretty easy.  But one must use our linux software thats soon to be provided to the BBB comunity by us.
