Hi, For AOA, there are some DMA engine programming pitfalls I wasn't aware of previously (actually, I was aware of the bug it triggered but not quite why it happened). But now we have two questions about the trigger callback. (1) When correctly using the i2s bus (aoa isn't at the moment), it is not possible to immediately stop doing DMA, the DMA engine has to finish the current period first, then go into a stop condition, and only after that we can stop the engine completely. Hence, this can take quite a while (up to the period length). Is it ok to set the stop condition and return from the trigger function without having DMA stopped? It'll be completely stopped asynchronously on the next interrupt, and we'd have to make the hw_free callback wait for that, I guess. (2) Relating to that, if a start trigger comes in before the DMA engine is stopped, it would be nice if we could just clear the stop condition and let it continue to run. Can recording start at any arbitrary period in the buffer relying only on the pointer callback? [Actually, come to think of it, isn't this required for proper 'pause' function during playback or recording? I guess aoa is wrong now then?] johannes ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Using Tomcat but need to do more? Need to support web services, security?
