Wolfson Pi Audio Card

MichaelL65
MichaelL65 over 12 years ago

This looks like a really good addition to the RPi. Just a few questions:

 

1. When will it be available?

2. What will it cost?

3. When will we get a technical data sheet?

 

I may be able to make it into a guitar pedal board now...

    Hi Michael,

     

    After a minor glitch with the hardware we've now got boards turning up at the warehouse in their thousands. Main focus now is on getting the software drivers to a level we're happy with before releasing. We're working closely with the Raspbian team as well as the team at Element14 and we'll keep you posted as soon as we have a firmer date.

    Hi,

     

    Time really is rolling by!

     

    When are you going to sell the Audio Card?  2013,  2014,  2015 ??

     

    If it is  too difficult to program?      Other people appear to have had some success with SPI audio cards on the Rasperry  ---- See  HiFiBerry Mini  by Crazy Audio.

     

    regards

    Hi Patrick,

     

    thanks for your post. Please see my reply to Michael, hopefully this goes some way to explain the delay.

     

    Cheers,
    Eddie

    Hi all, OK lots of work over the holidays as well as last week and we're almost there.

     

    What we've got left to do is release the new Kernel, finish testing the software image and get the documentation completed.

     

    Beyond that we need to get the usual support and PR elements in place and we should be good to go.

     

    Again I'm loathe to commit a date too early but we're on track to start shipping before the end of Feb.

     

    Cheers,
    Eddie

    Hi Michael,

     

    At the heart of the WM5102 Audio Hub is a 50MHz proprietary Wolfson Audio DSP (ADSP). It is a key element defining the unique functionality of the part and differentiation vs other audio solutions. It was designed for ultra-low power processing of audio functions such as voice trigger, noise cancellation (transmit, receive and ambient), audio playback products, speakerphone enhancement and many more audio and other sensor processing. As well as running Wolfson algorithms, we open the core up to 3rd Parties to port and develop solutions to it via the Wolfson Partner Programme.

     

    We are working hard to make ADSP open to all of our customers by putting in place high quality hardware and software tools as well as the documentation and engineering support required of such a high performance core. It's going to take some time to get this into shape and won't happen overnight. We will keep the community informed of progress in this area. The reason we’ve chosen this chip for the board as opposed to a standalone Codec is to provide the latest in ultra-low power audio DAC & ADC technology with multiple audio inputs/outputs to suit portable as well as mains powered applications and to give us a platform to grow in the future.
