Sanyo's CCB (Computer Control Bus) protocol

[Lyos Gemini Norezel]

Greetings Everyone,

It's been awhile since I was last able to write... life's been putting
me through hell lately.

Anyway... I've been trying to finish my MP3 player, and I came across a
problem.
One of the interface gadgets I wish to use uses a bus protocol I've
never even heard of: Sanyo's Computer Control Bus (CCB).

The datasheet for the specific chip I have is here:
http://www.datasheetarchive.com/dl/Datasheets-29/DSA-579749.pdf
and the datasheet for the CCB protocol itself is here:
http://www.datasheetarchive.com/indexdl/Datasheet-071/DSA00349009.pdf
This abstract from Wolfson may also be useful:
http://www.datasheetarchive.com/indexdl/Datasheet-0103/DSA009335.pdf

There's also a forum post on dangerousprototypes, in their Bus Pirate
support forum, that appears to indicate that SPI and CCB are, at least
somewhat, compatible. Link here:
http://dangerousprototypes.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=823

Is anyone here good enough to create a driver for this bus protocol from
the datasheets?

Also, there's another IC chip I wish to use that uses a serial bus I am
unfamiliar with... and have been unable to identify.
The chip is OKI's MSC1215-01, datasheet here:
http://www.htmldatasheet.com/pdf/oki/msc121501.pdf

Can anyone here identify the protocol used? Can this chip be used with a
PIC/Jallib?

Thanks for the help.

P.S. - Sebastien Lelong - I'm very impressed with the MinixFS driver you
created. I plan on testing it as soon as I finish the hardware side of
my mp3 player.

Thanks but... be aware of some limitations :) 

- you cannot create files, nor delete them, they have to exist on medium (inode bitmap isn't dealt with at all)

- files can only grow (zone allocation is properly done, but not deallocation)

Current implementation may suit your needs, since it seems to be only readings. I may give an extra time to put this development a little further, particularly file creation, since it's mostly the same logic as zone allocation. Deallocation (zone or bitmap) would requite an extra effort...

Cheers
