Porting Audio in 3.10 Kernel

[MuhammadhSalih]

Hi all,

I am using i.Mx6 processor and trying to port audio with the latest kernel (Linux-3.10.17).

I am trying to port my audio codec using SSI AC97 interface.

I am seeing there is no AC97 support in the SSI driver file (fsl_ssi.c). But the support is added in one more driver file (imx-ssi.c).

Since we are using DTS, it is accessing fsl_ssi and not the imx-ssi. I want to know how to add AC97 mode in fsl_ssi and in DTS.

Please provide the solution for the same.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Salih

Here are the pieces from my .dts:

----

         sound {

                 compatible = "fsl,imx6-emx6-wm9712";

                 model = "imx6-emx6-wm9712";

                 ssi-controller = <&ssi1>;

                 audio-routing =

                         "Headphone", "HPOUTL",

                         "Headphone", "HPOUTR",

                         "LineIn", "LINEINL",

                         "LineIn", "LINEINR",

                         "Mic", "MIC1";

                 mux-int-port = <1>;

                 mux-ext-port = <4>;

         };

…

                  pinctrl_audmux: audmuxgrp {

                         fsl,pins = <

                                 MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT0__AUD4_RXD   0x130b0

                                 MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT1__AUD4_TXFS  0x130b0

                                 MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT2__AUD4_TXD   0x110b0

                                 MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT3__AUD4_TXC   0x130b0

                                 >;

                 };

                 ac97link_reset: audmuxgrp_reset {

                         fsl,pins = <

                                 MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT1__GPIO1_IO14 0x1b0b0

                                 MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT2__GPIO1_IO13 0x1b0b0

                                 >;

                 };

                 ac97link_warm_reset: audmuxgrp_warmreset {

                         fsl,pins = <

                                 MX6QDL_PAD_SD2_DAT1__GPIO1_IO14 0x1b0b0

                                 >;

                 };

…

&ssi1 {

         pinctrl-names = "default", "ac97-running", "ac97-reset",

"ac97-warm-reset";

         pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_audmux>;

         pinctrl-1 = <&pinctrl_audmux>;

         pinctrl-2 = <&ac97link_reset>;

         pinctrl-3 = <&ac97link_warm_reset>;

         /* sync, sdata, reset */

         ac97-gpios = <

                 &gpio1 14 0

                 &gpio1 13 0

                 &gpio7 13 0>;

         fsl,mode = "ac97-slave";

         fsl,fiq-stream-filter;

         fsl,ssi-asynchronous;

         status = "okay";

};

----

I cherry-picked "ASoC: fsl-ssi: Support for SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFS" and set in fsl_ssi_probe() to

         ssi_private->dai_fmt = SND_SOC_DAIFMT_AC97 | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_NF | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFS;

With this change I hear the codec powering up and down during playback and I see that the codec supplies the bitclock. However I see no action from the IMX nor do I see that the SSI-FIFO is beeing filled. Does someone know what needs to be done for SSI to start filling the FIFO?

Which kernel are you using? Do you have this one applied?

    ASoC: fsl-ssi: ac97-slave support

    This patch adds ac97-slave support.

    For ac97, the registers have to be setup earlier than for other ssi

    modes because there is some communication with the external device

    before streaming. So this patch introduces a fsl_ssi_setup function to

    setup the registers for different ssi operation modes seperately.

    This patch was tested with imx27-pca100.

I have never used SSI in AC97 mode, as none of the boards I have access to support this mode.

Looking at Documentation/devicetree/bindings/sound/fsl,ssi.txt it says ac97 is supported:
