Can you get a dump of the SGTL5000 codec registers?

IanCraig — Tue, 16 Jun 2015 15:55:51 GMT

On my new iMX6Quad board I'm having issues getting the SGTL5000 audio codec to work. What is happening is the codec is getting initialised and the I2S clock is getting turned on at the end of initialisation but the clock turns off a few milliseconds later. I want to try and get a dump of the code registers after this point to see if the chip has been reset for some reason (supplies are fine),

I have taken a trace of the I2C traffic and this looks ok. The only thing I have noticed is if you run aplay once the system is up the top two bits of register CHIP_ADCDAC_CTRL are set. These indicate "Volume Busy DAC Right & Left". I have a reference working system and these bits are never set.

I have tried "cat /sys/devices/soc0/sound.17/HiFi/codec_reg" but get nothing back. I have also tried this via debugFS with the same result. Is there any other way to dump these registers?

Thanks

Hi,

You can use the -f option in i2cdump, i2cset to bypass the check on whether the device is in use by the kernel if you are running with root permissions. For example:

'i2cdump -f -y -r 0-0xff 0 {your_device_address}'

Best Regards,

Alejandro

Ian,

You can use regmap for such purpose.

These are the commands I do on a mx53qsb running kernel 4.0:

root@freescale /$ mount -t debugfs none /sys/kernel/debug/

root@freescale /$ cat /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/1-000a/registers

Hi guys

Thanks fro the help. Managed to get the registers using regmap. Now to see if this helps in debugging my problem.

cheers

Hi,

I am at a similar problem and want to modify the I2C registers of SGTL.

I have seen the initialized values using the registers file in regmap, but I want to change the value of one of the register.

The Linux OS, I am working on, does not have i2c-tools, hence no command like i2cset which can do this job. Any alternative way of setting the registers of SGTL5000?

Best,

Abhijeet
