 ===== Proposal =====
-The overall project goal of the ALSA System on Chip (ASoC) layer is to provide better ALSA support for embedded system-on-chip processors and portable audio codecs.
+The overall project goal of the ALSA System on Chip (ASoC) layer is to provide better ALSA support for embedded system-on-chip processors and portable audio codecs. To achieve all this, ASoC basically splits an embedded audio system into multiple re-usable component drivers:
+  - codec drivers, the chip that actually does the ADC/DAC conversion.
+  - digital audio interface drivers (e.g: I2S)
+  - platform drivers (DMA)
+  - machine drivers, connects the other component drivers together.
+The goal of this project is to write a driver for [[https://cdn-learn.adafruit.com/downloads/pdf/adafruit-i2s-stereo-decoder-uda1334a.pdf | I2S Stereo Decoder - UDA1334A ]]
+Code license: GPL
+The project is considered successful if the code is accepted into Linux kernel ASoC maintainer's tree.
+===== Where to start? =====
+Have a look at:
+   * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb1yAt9d2k8 | ASoC: Supporting audio on an embedded board]]
+   * [[https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/v5.0/sound/soc/overview.html|ASoC Overview]]
+===== Things to consider =====
+   * Send at least one patch to Linux kernel. See [[https://kernelnewbies.org/FirstKernelPatch | First kernel patch]].
+   * Investigate ways to test your driver. Look for boards who can connect codecs on I2S interface.
