Hi,

does the A10-OLinuXino-LIME have I2S interface available on a pin header?  If yes, what are the capabilities of this interface (16, 24 bits and 44.1 kHz up to 192Khz?). So it would be possible to connect a DAC and do something like http://www.hifiberry.com/

Does it need kernel module and is it already available?

was this question ever answered? I'd like to buy a a10 but it hinges on this question. I already have an a20 and a13 but have been unable to get digital audio out of either.

Hi all!
as stated in https://github.com/OLIMEX/OLINUXINO/blob/master/HARDWARE/A10-OLinuXino-LIME/A10_Lime_GPIOs.pdf?raw=true, there is an I2S port populated in GPIO3 connector. Theorically, it is enabled by default (https://github.com/linux-sunxi/sunxi-boards/blob/master/sys_config/a10/a10-olinuxino-lime.fex), and appears in /sys/bus/. But, maybe, you would need to reconfigure and recompile the kernel. Changes should be made in the FEX file (http://linux-sunxi.org/Fex_Guide#i2s_configuration)
