ANNOUNCE: Linux driver for vs1053 and vs1063

[thehog]

Hi,

I recently uploaded a Linux driver on Sourceforge for vs1053. If you are interested, you're welcome to check it out.

You will need some skills in embedded Linux development. The driver assumes that a SPI configuration is created in the board support. I have included an example, based on a MMnet1002 board (Atmel AT91SAM9260, ARM9 200Mhz). It should be easily portable to other boards.

The driver is capable of playing multiple files simultaneously. Playing a file can be done by eg.:

cat 'some song' > /dev/vs1053-1
madplay -o wav:/dev/vs1053-2 'some song'

Regards,
Richard.

As far as I know this is the only public driver for vs1053 on Linux (?). I got email from a company that uses the driver (4x vs1053 on a arm9 board) with good performance. It's opensource so you're welcome to join development
