From the project
Passive MOST25 listener: Tang Nano 20K FPGA, ESP32 host, stereo I2S out with the head unit's volume, balance and tone
A passive listener for the MOST25 optical ring in a car. It sits in the fibre as an invisible repeater - physically present, never a node: no address, never a word on the control channel - and turns what the ring carries into audio and data the owner can use:
- J3: what the factory amplifier would play, as stereo I2S and, the same stream, as S/PDIF on TOSLINK and coax: the main source with the head unit's volume, mute, balance, bass, treble and loudness applied, and up to three more of the amplifier's sinks - navigation and phone, the parking sensors, the chimes, where the car sends them as…
