Using bela as an AVB interface?

PaulELong

I'd like to use digital ethernet over cat5 to distribute a signal using AVB and create a receiver that breaks out channels as XLR channels. Would Bela make sense for this kind of project as a receiver? Anybody do anything similar?

there's this project from a few years back that allegedly had AVB working on the BBB https://github.com/induarun9086/avbtest/wiki

We never tested it, but in principle if you follow the instructions there and it does work you should end up with a virtual ALSA interface, then you could use something like this(which currently only supports audio channels) to connect the non-realtime I/O from the network to Bela's audio, analog, digital I/Os.

Both projects linked above are unsupported afaik
