Reciva project

The goal of this wiki is to gather information about the 'Barracuda' Reciva radio module, in order to understand enough of the hardware to be able to provide alternative firmware.

Alternative firmware wishlish

  • No dependancies on Reciva's database and servers
  • Support for additional codecs and protocols

Roadmap

This list describes the things that would be needed to create a platform on which an alternative firmware implementation could be provided, roughly in the right order.

  • Creating an inventory of the components on the Barracuda board and their functions, and gathering technical information about these componentes where available.
  • Find out what the testpads on the Barracuda PCB do - Identifying JTAG and UART would be really helpful here.
  • Get a linux (console) shell to work on the current firmware to be able to get info about how the official software connects to the hardware
  • Figure out which pieces are missing to drive the hardware - Does Reciva provide drivers to all hardware ?
  • Try to put as much pieces of the provided GPL code together to get a basic OS up and running.
