Hello all, Long time lurker, first time poster. It's good to get an Opencores Audio DSP board up and running, and however I can help, I will. I've got experience coding in VHDL, as well as dedicated audio systems design from a few pro hardware manufacturers. I've been spending my spare time working on my AudioSpartan project located at http://proteus.ugwarehouse.org/projects/AudioSpartan/ and have a lot of periphery developed so far. The one difference (and it's a big one) between my AudioSpartan project and the one proposed for OC is that the AudioSpartan was designed as a stand-alone development platform, instead of being used with PCI. So, let me know how I can help, and what's on the tasklist, and I will be more than happy to contribute in whatever manner possible! Best Regards, Joe Grisso

Hello Joe,


Thank you!

I've got experience coding in VHDL, as well as


Features looks great, have you some pictures?

The one difference (and it's a big one)
It's not that big difference anymore :) fac2222m project new feature (not documented yet at project page) is stand-alone function also, with FireWire interface for notebooks... Where to put FW connector? I don't know. I must find some place behind... This is A. Bonello suggestion http://www.opencores.org/forums.cgi/cores/2004/05/000745

On the tasklist? .... yes! We need more suggestions :)
Later it will be to late for new features... this is hardware project :)

Best regards,

Hello It's very good idea - audio card. I can write some tiny components in VHDL. I should refresh my DSP knowlege from my study times :) I can be in. Greetings.

Hello,

Agree! :)


No problem, at least it will be good enough to have courage and to be
hardware and FPGA skilled a bit ...
All other things are writen in books... :)

some good starting points for refreshing theoretical things are: http://www.analog.com/processors/processors/sharc/technicalLibrary/data_word_size.html http://www.analog.com/UploadedFiles/Application_Notes/44311363022792059121065L_Audio_Tutorial.pdf ftp://ftp.analog.com/pub/www/library/applicationNotes/dsp/32_Processors/65LI2S.zip http://www.analog.com/ in general... At this point it be very useful to think about reasonable modifications about project rather than it will be finished, and this is one and only way to build good hardware. Yes, thinking rather than it will be finished!
Ok, thanks for support. You are in :)
We need your suggestions about overall conception.


Best regards,
