Hello: Okay, so after probing the various pcm lines, I think I see that the format used for the pcm is a little bit off of what my codec likes to play nice. In my machine/codec driver, I see that I have some lines: /* set cpu DAI configuration */ ret = cpu_dai->dai_ops.set_fmt(cpu_dai, SND_SOC_DAIFMT_DSP_A | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_NF | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBS_CFS); I believe this is where it is selecting the format. In at91-ssc.c, I see that this format is given as: case SND_SOC_DAIFMT_DSP_A | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBS_CFS: /* * DSP/PCM Mode A format, SSC provides BCLK and LRC clocks. * * The SSC transmit and receive clocks are generated from the * MCK divider, and the BCLK signal is output on the SSC TK line. */ rcmr = (( ssc_p->rcmr_period << 24) & AT91_SSC_PERIOD) | (( 1 << 16) & AT91_SSC_STTDLY) | (( AT91_SSC_START_RISING_RF ) & AT91_SSC_START) | (( AT91_SSC_CK_RISING ) & AT91_SSC_CKI) | (( AT91_SSC_CKO_NONE ) & AT91_SSC_CKO) | (( AT91_SSC_CKS_DIV ) & AT91_SSC_CKS); rfmr = (( AT91_SSC_FSEDGE_POSITIVE ) & AT91_SSC_FSEDGE) | (( AT91_SSC_FSOS_POSITIVE ) & AT91_SSC_FSOS) | (( 0 << 16) & AT91_SSC_FSLEN) | (((channels - 1) << 8) & AT91_SSC_DATNB) | (( 1 << 7) & AT91_SSC_MSBF) | (( 0 << 5) & AT91_SSC_LOOP) | (((bits - 1) << 0) & AT91_SSC_DATALEN); tcmr = (( ssc_p->tcmr_period << 24) & AT91_SSC_PERIOD) | (( 1 << 16) & AT91_SSC_STTDLY) | (( AT91_SSC_START_RISING_RF ) & AT91_SSC_START) | (( AT91_SSC_CK_RISING ) & AT91_SSC_CKI) | (( AT91_SSC_CKO_CONTINUOUS ) & AT91_SSC_CKO) | (( AT91_SSC_CKS_DIV ) & AT91_SSC_CKS); tfmr = (( AT91_SSC_FSEDGE_POSITIVE ) & AT91_SSC_FSEDGE) | (( 0 << 23) & AT91_SSC_FSDEN) | (( AT91_SSC_FSOS_POSITIVE ) & AT91_SSC_FSOS) | (( 0 << 16) & AT91_SSC_FSLEN) | (((channels - 1) << 8) & AT91_SSC_DATNB) | (( 1 << 7) & AT91_SSC_MSBF) | (( 0 << 5) & AT91_SSC_DATDEF) | (((bits - 1) << 0) & AT91_SSC_DATALEN); break; I should have caught this before--I spent enough time dealing with the HW registers. The simple ssc pcm driver I wrote sets the regs a little differently to get the peak performance out of the codec, e.g. In RCMR, I have STTDLY=0, AT91_SSC_CKI_FALLING, AT91_SSC_CKS_PIN. In RFMR everything looks okay except that I have FSOS_NONE as I borrow it from TF0 In TCMR the STTDLY=0 in mine In TFMR I do nothing with the FSEDGE and FSDEN and I have FSLEN=7 and DATADEF=1. So, I left with a decision. Do I add a mode or do I modify DSP A to fit my needs? I am not sure how much coding it would take to add a mode--I *do* know it would take little time to modify DSP A, but I am reluctant to make a change to something that is probably 'standard'. Any thoughts on this?
