Hello,
I'm making my own minimalist embedded linux board, and I want to run festival speech synthesis program on the board. Of course, there is no sound card on the board, just CPU, RAM, and Flash so far.
I was wondering if anybody knows what kind of minimal hardware I need to add so that I can hear the synthesized speech?
Do I simply need D/A converter connected to a GPIO port, then amplifier, then speaker?
I guess I would have to write some kind of linux driver also that festival can send digital speech samples to it, then the driver would simply write that byte to the GPIO port to be converter by the D/A, then amplified and then to the speaker.
Will that work? Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks Dread_Locks
