Hi.

While reading about the plans of an open source player software, I wondered if someone from empeg/SonicBlue could leak the commands that bring the tuner module to life and things. In other words: The serial port commands that are used to control the tuner and to read back the RDS data and stuff.
I mean we know how to generate sound, how to access the display, the IR interface etc. what we do not know yet is how to access the tuner and we don't know too much about the equalizer, which will probably be a major drawback of such an open source player software, because the equalizer info is covered under a NDA as far as I know.

I'll try to document the serial commands for the tuner sometime, they're not very interesting (tune to, read config eeprom, and antenna power on/off mainly). RDS doesn't come from the tuner, it comes from the DSP - see the kernel source for more info.
