Quote from: Avid on May 09, 2007, 07:55:38 PMSo there would be little or no modifacation to the actual gigabeat?I assume No work can be started on this until we have metioned connectors?I would see no reason to modify the gigabeat. If we want to create a standardized product then we should establish exactly which connections we want this docking station to present.Although, if we really want to discuss this issue I would suggest starting a new topic as this one claims to be about Mpegplayer.

What connections seem worthwhile for such a dock? We have no access to line in -- which, according to my understanding, is what prevents recording on the Gigabeats. We can connect to line-out and provide a connection to the USB port for the Gigabeat to act as a device (not host). Power, obviously. . . But this just starts to sound like the stock cradle that came with the device. What other functionality can we gain?
I'm pretty sure that we have almost fully digital connections to the CPU and DAC, so we can pretty much do anything we want with the right hardware in the dock.
MadQuote I'm pretty sure that we have almost fully digital connections to the CPU and DAC, so we can pretty much do anything we want with the right hardware in the dock.You are right, we just need the good hardware to do itOnce again check the pinout of the connector therehttp://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatPortPinsand the custom dock project there :http://www.rockbox.org/twiki/bin/view/Main/GigabeatCustomdockand welcome if you want help us
I can stuff a circuit board, but I'm missing some key pieces in understanding how to get all of the info that we want into separate lines from the pins presented to us in the dock. How do we get access to the other "Ports" listed on that PortPins page? Do we have to demux signals that come out of the dock?
Unless you need to reclock or something, you shouldn't need a processor. A gate array should be able to do the trick more cheaply and simply.
