[arm-allstar] CM108 USB sound FOB

Mon Aug 22 10:59:05 EST 2016

Daniel,

Yes, that chip definitely has less and different pinouts but I think Dave's point was that it would support audio I/O as long as the vendor and product codes are included in our code which they now are in beta.  GPIO would have to be handled externally which would be possible with a scheme using the Arduino Nano that we are coming out with shortly.

Thats why I said don't throw them out you might be able to use them in the future!
