[DSP-10] DSP-10 Linux software project announcement

Hi John,

A suggestion.   Why not do the audio interface first.   DSP-10 has two
components.     1) Audio 2) two meter hardware interface  The 2181 can
run the audio without the two meter hardware.    Consider making the DSP
work without the two meter hardware then add the hardware control.  

Regards, Stan ak0b

Subject: [DSP-10] DSP-10 Linux software project announcement

Hi all,

I've started a Project to write/port software for the DSP-10 to Linux at
http://sourceforge.net/projects/linux-dsp-10/.  The project homepage is
at
http://dsp-10.leftfish.com.  The homepage is not complete yet but the
framework is up.

The initial plan is to port the existing program UHFA to the Linux
console.
I have a BGI library for Linux that may aid in this. The serial port I/O
routines would need to be rewritten for sure.  I also have various Linux
tools to support ADSP-21xx development on Linux.

The long-term plan is to make use of hamlib,
http://hamlib.sourceforge.net/.
Hamlib is a development effort to provide a consistent interface for
programmers wanting to incorporate radio control in their programs.  A
"skeleton" driver has been written for the DSP-10 but that's it.  Once
hamlib support has been implemented "front-end" applications for both
console and X-Windows could be written to support this radio.

If anyone would like to assist please let me know.  Any experienced
Linux
programmers are most welcome, however any help is welcome!

Presenently I am looking for the source for the latest version of UHFA.
On
the DSP-10 site only version 2.02 source code exists.  I also, any
documentation on the serial control API would be great.  I've emailed
Bob
Larken but never got a reply.

My kit just shipped from TAPR so I'll be very busy over the next several
weeks!

Thanks

John Scherer,  KC0OIE
