Hi all,

after long struggles with a wrong #define in the atmel provided header
file, I've finally made the SSC DMA handshaking working.  After some
more struggles, the samples are now arriving on the host PC and I can
record data with arecord.

I will be claning up things later today/tonight and should be able to
publish some sample capture files as well as some documentation on the
current state of the firwmare.

Maintech/SR-Systems will then be doing some measurements on the captured
spectrum, after which we hopefully can go into production.  I would love
to get the first production batch in time for OsmoDevCon2012.

Regards,
	Harald

FYI:

The firmware status has improved significantly,  It is now 'fully
functional' in that it can tune, receive and stream digital spectrum via
USB high-speed isochronuos transfers into a PC, where alsa happily
receives them even at speeds in the range of 1MS/s.

In contrast to earlier versions, SSC/DMA start and stop is now fully
automatic with opening/closing the audio device on the USB host (Linux
PC).

Tuning cnanot yet be done via USB but has to be done on the UART.

Commands like

> tuner.init!

and

> tuner.freq=88300000

can be used interactively on a mini embedded command line.

For some more info on usage, check
	https://sdr.osmocom.org/trac/wiki/GettingStarted

The RF guys should now be able to validate that the spectrum of the
device is clean and thus authorize the production of the first batch of
100 units.  With some luck, they will be available at OsmoDevCon !

Regards,
	Harald
