Re: FM Radio Discussion

Yes there is an I2S for digital FM audio, but it is unused. Look at the Diamond or GSM Touch Pro, you will find references to I2C but not a single one to I2S.

I want to emphasize this as much as possible because it doesn't seem to be understood by anyone other than me and kb9nate:

The FM chip on the CDMA Touch Pro is working

What does this mean? It is 99.9% NOT an SPL disable.

The chip is working!

What is not working?

1. Picking up a signal (other than an incredibly strong one)
2. Audio output

It is possible that (2) could be an SPL disable. (1) is absolutely not possible to disable in SPL.

I am 99.9% sure this is a hardware disable. Though as I said before, I would truly love to be proven wrong.

I also said before that Version 1 may not suffer from the same hardware disconnect. So if you want to put your effort into something that actually has half a chance of working, try to get the radio working on a V1 device.
