USB host/gadget, CFUSB host/gadget, CFPosted May 19, 2005 17:15 UTC (Thu) by dmarti (subscriber, #11625)Parent article: A call for an open media gadget
OK, I want both host and gadget, so I can either mount as USB storage and copy stuff to it, or hook it up to a USB Audio device to listen or record.
CF slot, please, so I can upgrade as CF gets bigger and cheaper.

Just CF! Posted May 20, 2005 2:13 UTC (Fri) by ncm (subscriber, #165) [Link] It doesn't even need any onboard flash. It can boot *and* play from the CF card. It doesn't need USB. It doesn't really need a display. (A single row of LEDs can be a display, if you are willing to swing it back and forth. :-) All else it needs is a battery holder, a few buttons, and a phone jack. On board, a DSP whose clock starts up again when the output fifo gets near empty, a regular processor to feed it Vorbis once in a while (and shut itself off, too, the rest of the time), and a pair of D/A converters. It ought to cost about $5 to make, and sell for $25. I'd buy lots of them.
CF bad Posted Jun 2, 2005 21:59 UTC (Thu) by yem (guest, #1138) [Link] Having just paid for an expensive repair of a digital camera due to a bent pin in the CF slot, I hope CF dies a quick death. Would much prefer SD which does not use pins as such. Yeah I know CF is superior in some ways, but its form factor is a dead end IMO.
