Set two sound cards to the same SAI (Linux 4.9 iMX6UL)

Hi everyone,

I'm trying to update from Linux 4.1 (Yocto Krogoth) to 4.9 (Yocto Sumo) using a iMX6UL. Everything is working fine but I'm not able to use a DAC and ADC both connected to SAI1. In Linux 4.1 there was no problem. Unfortunately in 4.9 a got this message "Trying to bind component to card X but is already bound to card Y", just DAC card is declared after that and works fine using GStreamer or ALSA. Then, I patched soc-core.c to avoid launch this error and both cards finally appear in the list of declared sound cards. But now, when I try to play a sine using GStreamer, I get message "Setting pipeline to PAUSED ..." and cannot kill the process...

I was wondering if with the current kernel drivers is possible to define more than one sound card for the same sai.

Thanks

I've solved by defining a sound card with 2 codecs:

    sound-10 {
        compatible = "simple-audio-card";
        simple-audio-card,name = "10_audio";
        system-clock-direction = "out";
        system-clock-type = "mclk";
        simple-audio-card,dai-link@0{
            format = "i2s";
            cpu {
                sound-dai = <&sai1>;                
                dai-tdm-slot-num = <2>;
                system-clock-frequency = <12288000>;
            };
            codec {
                sound-dai = <&codec1>;
                system-clock-id = <2>;
                system-clock-frequency = <12288000>;
            };
        };
        simple-audio-card,dai-link@1{
            format = "i2s";
            cpu {
                sound-dai = <&sai1>;                
                dai-tdm-slot-num = <2>;
                system-clock-frequency = <12288000>;
            };
            codec {
                sound-dai = <&codec2>;
                system-clock-id = <2>;
                system-clock-frequency = <12288000>;
            };

        };
    };

Is not necessary to patch soc-core file.

Hi @stefanozuincast ,

i want btsco codec and wm8960  codec drivers to use sai2 interface.

i tried adding the dts nodes as you mentioned. its building fine and android booted up but no codec soundcards  were created.

mentioning the node :

sound-new {
compatible = "simple-audio-card";
simple-audio-card,name = "mixcard";
simple-audio-card,dai-link@0{
simple-audio-card,format = "i2s";
simple-audio-card,bitclock-master = <&dailink_master>;
simple-audio-card,frame-master = <&dailink_master>;
simple-audio-card,mclk-fs = <32>;
simple-audio-card,widgets =
"Microphone", "Mic Jack",
"Line", "Line In",
"Line", "Line Out",
"Speaker", "Speaker",
"Headphone", "Headphone Jack";
simple-audio-card,routing =
"Headphone Jack", "HP_L",
"Headphone Jack", "HP_R",
"Speaker", "SPK_LP",
"Speaker", "SPK_LN",
"LINPUT1", "Mic Jack",
"LINPUT3", "Mic Jack",
"RINPUT1", "Mic Jack",
"RINPUT2", "Mic Jack";
status = "okay";
dailink_master: simple-audio-card,cpu {
sound-dai = <&sai2>;
};
simple-audio-card,codec {
sound-dai = <&codec>;
system-clock-frequency = <12288000>;
};

};

simple-audio-card,dai-link@1{
simple-audio-card,format = "i2s";
simple-audio-card,bitclock-inversion;
simple-audio-card,frame-master = <&btcpu>;
simple-audio-card,bitclock-master = <&btcpu>;

btcpu: simple-audio-card,cpu {
sound-dai = <&sai2>;
dai-tdm-slot-num = <2>;
dai-tdm-slot-width = <16>;
};

simple-audio-card,codec {
sound-dai = <&bt_sco_codec 0>;
};
};
};

 

please help here @igorpadykov

Hi Stefano

one can try with nxp linux releases: L4.9.88 (rocko)
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx/tree/?h=imx_4.9.88_2.0.0_ga
or L4.14.78 (sumo)
https://source.codeaurora.org/external/imx/linux-imx/tree/?h=imx_4.14.78_1.0.0_ga

Best regards
igor

Hi igorpadykov,

I'm currently using Linux Kernel 4.9.88 and I get that error...

This is my audio codecs declaration:
