The protocol is mostly embedded in software, so access method is not
too bad. BUT, the latest price I have from TI for their chip-set is
$200+ in large volumes. This places a lower bound on a finished board
of about $300 (even using free labor). If you are interested ask TI
about their TMS380 chips. Their documentation covers the protocols,
access methods, and hardware requirements.
