Re: FM Radio FOR CDMA TP2 - NEED HELP FROM GSM ROM CHEFS

It might be possible to easily rule out FM Radio for CDMA:

1. If you ID the bluetooth chip, then you might be able to find its spec sheet. If so, you can look at the pin outs for the chip, and possibly identify which pins are associated with FM Radio.

2. If a single FM required pin out is NOT connected, the answer is NO FM RADIO. But I suspect either all the pins are connected, or we won't be able to check between the package and PCB.

Anyhow, I'd bet $20 that the firmware flashed to that bluetooth chip doesn't utilize the FM components of the chip. I've just recently dealt in this industry, so I've seen how things normally operate. Well, my best guess is that NOBODY is going to dump that chip without specialized equipment! The damn read-only bit has been flipped, I'd bet a billion dollars on it! So unless we get a leaked bin for the chip, reverse engineer/mod/recompile, figure out the port & protocol for accessing that chip, code up a front-end to flash that chip (the manufacturer probably won't be handing it out for free), reflash the chip, mod our OS, and certainly one or more additional sub-steps I haven't mentioned, then we've got NO FM RADIO!

Now lemme throw some mp3s on my sd card...
