Microchip rolled out the PIC32 Harmony Software Decoder Framework and Microsoft Windows Media Audio (WMA) decoder library for 32-bit PIC32 microcontroller (MCU)-based consumer audio application development within the MPLAB Harmony integrated software framework.
The Audio Decoder Framework allows for audio software codecs to be easily added to a PIC32 design project. Rather than having to rewrite large sections of application code, it allows for easier integration into an existing customer application after the corresponding decoder library has been purchased. The WMA decoder increases the depth of the library for PIC32 MCU-supported audio decoders, in addition to MP3 and AAC. This increases the range of audio formats that designers can choose to support.
Building upon existing USB and Bluetooth streaming audio solutions, the WMA decoder library is targeted for low-cost applications in the consumer markets, such as audio docks, home audio receivers and automotive head units. It gives developers added flexibility in decoder options that play back from internal or removable media. The library is supported by Microchip’s free MPLAB Harmony integrated software framework and the PIC32 Bluetooth audio development kit (DV320032).
