SGTL5000 codec - No Audio

[mdomondon]

I have a board using MX6Q running android 7.1 but I don't have any audio.

From the dmesg, I can see that the SGTL5000 driver codec is loaded successfully and that the probe completes without errors:

.

cat /proc/asound/cards in the terminal displays:

0 [sgtl5000audio ]: sgtl5000-audio - sgtl5000-audio
sgtl5000-audio

My device tree looks ok as well... I verified that the pins to enable the clock and amplifier are enabled by using a multimeter. I verified via oscilloscope that there is a clock signal as well. 

In the android logcat, looking at the HAL code that is executed, it looks like something goes wrong (I added debug prints to look into the error). On a different MX6 based board that I got audio to work (that has sgtl5000 as well) the out_write_primary function which processes the output stream gets called repeatedly when playing audio before going to "on standby" once the audio stops playing. On my current board, however, out_write_primary gets called a few times, but suddenly stops without going back to "on standby". No audio is output. 

After out_write_primary stops getting called. It does not get called again even if a try to trigger audio again...

Hi Mike

sgtl5000 is not used in nxp boards, one cam look at BD android releases, as

their boards have this codec

Android Nougat 7.1.1 release for i.MX6 boards - Boundary Devices

Hi,

Imx6 Android 7 BSP HAL layer doesn't SGTL5000 audio device support. So you need to add sgtl5000 hal support on your code.
