Neuros Audio Firmware Goes Open Source

Posted by timothy on from the audio-jack-knife dept.

PDA_Monkey writes "The Neuros Audio team has just released the Firmware code for the Neuros Digital Audio Computer as Open Source! Along with the release comes a message regarding Open Source from Joe Born, President of Neuros Audio, LLC, asking the community of developers to help fully realize the vision of the digital audio computer by aiding in the process to create a GCC target to the TI DSP used in the Neuros and in developing a program loader."

    They'll also be releasing hardware documentation soon...

    This is really a great company that truly does listen to its customers. This wouldn't have happened if they didn't.

    European radio (even frequency) support is coming soon, too! :)

    ...that thing is HUGE! ...why would anyone want to carry that around?

    You go ahead and buy your iPod and your iTrip, and I'll be happily spending my saved $150 elsewhere. Oh yeah, and I'll also get regular firmware updates for free, and a guaranteed hardware upgrade path for a reasonable amount of money (not "You'll just have to buy the new one").

    My Neuros, and the excellent customer support both through Neuros Audio LLC and the user forums, blow away anything you got...

      I've never played around with an iPod but I have had my Neuros since they first came out and I can tell you it is a great product. They constantly update the firmware and add new features. I can't tell you how many times I've said "Ok, that's it! My Neuros now does everything I need it to" just to have the next firmware update have some new feature I never even thought of. In short, I highly recommend this product.

    I have been waiting, doubting, comparing etc to buy an mp3 player for AGES. I have just placed an order for the Neuros, let this be a proof that open sourcing can indeed boost your business
