clockBlock in USB audio 2.0

[Unchyu2]

Hello,
I am trying to implement SPDIF_RX and clockGen into the USB-Audio-2.0-Device-Reference-Design-Software(6.6.0).
I am using the XMOS U16 sliceKit and I have some external hardware to input the SPDIF signal.
I have successfully implemented the SPDIF_RX block but I have a hard time of understanding how the clockGen block works, although I have managed to output on a port a 300Hz square wave signal using that block (after I connected it to the spdif_rx channel).

1. Is that wave output supposed to be normal? (it doesn't change in frequency if I change the sampling frequency from my wave generator)

2. Why isn't SPDIF_RX and clockGen supported in the current release of the software design and what should I do to make them work properly?

Thank you in advance,
Ilie

The code outputs a 300Hz signal to an external clock multiplied - this 300Hz signal is synced to the incoming digital stream.

2. Why isn't SPDIF_RX and clockGen supported in the current release of the software design and what should I do to make them work properly?

Maintenance was temporarily dropped in favour of adding more feature. I have just recently rectified this and S/PDIF input will be in the next release.

Thank you for the clarification Ross.
Do you have an estimate for when this new release is going live?

An alpha is out the field a the moment. Send me a PM if you would like to test.
