Android things: Chromecast 'built-in'

markschuck — Fri, 17 Nov 2017 20:10:04 GMT

According to this press release. NXP will be providing chromecast built in support for their android things ports.

Is this available yet? I can't find anything about using an android things SOM to be an endpoint (say, receive audio from a phone)

Thanks,

I’ve already seen those links. In fact we have the two pico boards listed there. They work great, and we’re already working on new products built around them, however my question is specifically about using the android things HW as a chromecast receiver. My OP has a link to an NXP announcement that they will be porting chromecast and google assistant.

I’d like to include support for audio streaming (receiver) using chromecast in our design. Has there been any update on the progress since that announcement?
