Overview

The AudioworX Starter Kit is intended as a simple and quick-setup tool to fully experience the design and development workflows of audio processing pipelines with AudioworX. It is comprised of commonly available hardware components to ease their sourcing across geographical locations and enable simple assembly, interfacing and usage world-over. Although the Starter Kit is still only available to users in its fully-packaged form on request (write to AudioworXSupport@harman.com), the Starter Kit is designed in a modular fashion to enable interested users even with little to no embedded-system experience to source the hardware components on their own, interface the components and configure the software to prepare the Starter Kit.

The Starter Kit also caters to more advanced users like audio DSP and algorithm engineers with developer options* enabling users to create custom audio objects for use in the AudioworX framework. The software package of the Starter Kit includes the source code for an example custom audio object, and VS Code workspace files for debugging. Additionally, the Starter Kit Utility Tool (SKUtility) is also built with developer options to streamline development and testing.

*The developer features of the AudioworX Starter Kit require a special license. Write to AudioworXSupport@harman.com for details on how to avail the license.

This document provides instructions on assembling a Starter Kit from scratch, setting up the developer environment for building and testing custom Audio Objects, building the custom executable to be run on the Starter Kit hardware, and finally running a debug session to step-through code remotely on the Starter Kit.
