Did anyone have a good reason for not including
support for a
usb-1.0/2.0/3.0 interface seeing as we can write the driver ourselves
and adhere to the standard?
The usual open source reasons, time and interest, and maybe money.
If someone provides the usb-knowledge (or firewire, adat, ... etc.)
I'd be happy to have it included, and I assume others would not mind.
Or, others might include it. I encourage people do their own versions.
Most chipsets these days have support for both port
types. It would be
very useful if the schematic provided tracks for both ootb.
It should be doable, please tell us what components to inlucde.
BTW, I will be able to contribute development funds
towards this project
if required once we have a BoM.
I think the most valueable contributions would be
. a good set of specs to aim at (I cannot provide that)
. hw and sw knowledge
. testing and evaluation, and equipment for that
. prototype boards for testers
. components, chips and mundane things like that
. cummunication, git-repo, webserver, mailing list, ...
If someone wish to contract me to work on this, I'd be happy, but
that is not a requirement.
