Sharpfin project

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

I'm an embedded firmware engineer, and I'm planning to spend some time on this project to see how hard it would be to get my own software up and running on the Barracuda hardware. If you think you can add anything to this project, feel free to use this wiki to share your information: add and edit!

Questions

Some questions that come to mind when gathering the info

  • There seems to be LIRC support in the kernel, reciva also provides lirc sources. How hard would it be to add a remote to existing radios ?
  • What is the purpose of the libgpg-error package Recive provides ? Is this just used as a generic error reporting framework ?
  • Does the Barracude use special co-processors or dedicated hardware for audio codecs ?
