I'm not thinking going further than audi/video streaming/control but may be you have other ideas ?

Any progress on this?

Finding info on the MOST bus was difficult at first, but here is some info I dug up:

This could be useful for developing an interface, though it probably will require reprogramming of the MOST controller in order to add it to the sequence.

NIC that is in spy mode. Probably more useful as a monitoring tool than what we need.

This is an expensive ($560 US) device which hops on the MOST bus. It adds support for a usb connected device in Mass Storage Device mode, has an RCA input for audio and video, and can add bluetooth.

This seems closest to what we would need, at least initially. No indication of pricing, which generally means $$$$$.


The info on MOST is super interesting once you get down to it. MOST150 is like the current most system, but seems to add a 100BaseT Ethernet channel allongside the regular data.
