Re: FM Radio Discussion

Ok. As you all can see. This is my first post. I really don't contribute unless I have something to contribute.

As I see it they have disabled this three ways.

First, software. As this is not my forte, I will digress to the ones specialized in it.

Second, hardware. I have looked at the pictures of the Touch Pro in detail as well as my own here. I have also looked at the simple diagram available on TI.com. Both indicate a separate "analog audio output". On the board on my own Touch Pro, I did notice two sets of contact points that are not connected to each other. My thoughts are they have removed these in hopes of permanently disabling the radio feature.

Third, firmware. As per the simple diagram on the TI.com website there are two "codec interfaces". These are most likely held in an external ROM and pulled as needed. I believe these to have been removed from the ROM.

So, to get this "simple" feature working seems like it will be a daunting task. The hardware will be the easy part. I wish you guys with the software and firmware knowledge much luck and cunning. You will need it.

PS: I will gladly test your solutions on my own Touch Pro.
