[sdiy] STM32 (or other) audio DSP learning recommendations

[ulfur hansson]

me and my buddy just recently managed to get a custom STM32F7 board to blink an LED (!) it’s my first digital design project, and a little blinking light has never made me this happy before.

we have a WM8731 DAC on board, but alas setting up the code properly for use with the STM seems a little tricky.

does anyone have a boilerplate setup/lesrning resource for this particular DAC? the best resource we’ve found so far seems to be a mutable instrument design that has the same chip but for an M4 - we would love to find more detailed info on how to properly implement it into out code on the F7 - no need to reinvent the wheel here i reckon ;)

any help/direction towards further resources would be immensely helpful and well appreciated!!

all the best,
