VS1005g has hardware support for a great number of different devices and interfaces. However, supporting all these devices and interfaces in a consistent way so that users can combine functionality of them at will does require some time.
This page shows the current VS1005g firmware's and applications' development status for VSOS3, as well as a simple roadmap for future development.
The page is divided into three sections:
- Existing: This code exists and has been released already
- Next in Queue: Development is already going on and these will be released soon
- To Do: Still need lots of work to be viable code
Note that these priorities are not cast in stone. If you have a viable project that would require reprioritizing, please contact sales.

Next In Queue
These pieces of firmware are already well under development.
To Do
These pieces of firmware still need lots of work: they are very complex, or have not yet been written or ported to VS1005.
- Codecs
- Acoustic Echo Cancellation
- Drivers
- Other
- Software protection
- JTAG debug support
- Etc etc etc
