Sparkfun Mp3 Player Shield

Anyone know if this work with ezb? I cant find any documentation on it and confused about how it hooks into ezb or if it even works!

No dice! I hear a small pop like it wants to play but nothing. I tried changing baud rates,ports and even tried the serial command still nothing

Not really a solution but I don't have a ez-b or this shield to test with.

Looking at the documentation:

Based on the products description it uses SPI to talk to the chip on the board.

Not sure what built in functionality there is in ARC for SPI communication. (Perhaps DJ or Rich or someone else can chime in)

Documentation also states:

It sends the MP3 to the VS1053 32 bytes at a time. When the VS1053 has decoded the 32 bytes in its buffer, it requests more data by sending its DREQ pin high. (This makes me think that whatever code is controlling this would have to be able to accept and respond to this pin high request with more data.

Thanks
