#### Composite CDC + UAC2 on Pico
|
|
|
|
This example provides a composite CDC + UAC2 device on top of a Raspberry Pi
|
|
Pico board.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Use Cases
|
|
|
|
- The CDC + UAC2 composite device happens to be important, especially in the
|
|
amateur radio community.
|
|
|
|
Modern radios (`rigs`) like Icom IC-7300 + IC-705 expose a sound card and a
|
|
serial device (`composite device`) to the computer over a single USB cable.
|
|
This allows for Audio I/O and CAT control over a single USB cable which is
|
|
very convenient.
|
|
|
|
By including and maintaining this example in TinyUSB repository, we enable
|
|
the amateur radio community to build (`homebrew`) radios with similar
|
|
functionality as the (expensive) commercial rigs.
|
|
|
|
This PR is important in bridging this specific gap between the commercial
|
|
rigs and homebrew equipment.
|
|
|
|
- https://digirig.net/digirig-mobile-rev-1-9/ is a digital interface for
|
|
interfacing radios (that lack an inbuilt digital interface) with computers.
|
|
Digirig Mobile works brilliantly (is OSS!) and is a big improvement over
|
|
traditional digital interfaces (like the SignaLink USB Interface). By using a
|
|
Raspberry Pi Pico powered CDC + UAC2 composite device, we can simplify the
|
|
Digirig Mobile schematic, drastically reduce the manufacturing cost, and
|
|
(again) enable the homebrewers community to homebrew a modern digital interface
|
|
with ease themselves.
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Build Steps
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
cd examples/device/cdc_uac2
|
|
|
|
export PICO_SDK_PATH=$HOME/pico-sdk
|
|
|
|
cmake -DFAMILY=rp2040 pico .
|
|
|
|
cmake -DFAMILY=rp2040 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug # use this for debugging
|
|
|
|
make BOARD=raspberry_pi_pico all
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
|
|
#### Development Notes
|
|
|
|
Please try to keep this code synchronized with the `uac2_headset` example
|
|
included in this repository.
