Now that I think about, if you are using RK0 as an input and driving it from TK0, then you should be initializing the RK0 GPIO. On our board, the RK2 GPIO pin is not used since RK2 is generated internally from the TK2 clock signal (AT91_SSC_CKS_CLOCK), so there was no need to initialize it. Also, the RF2 GPIO is not used on our board, because there is a single sync signal sent to the codec, and this is supplied by TF2. Perhaps it would be useful to see a diagram of the connections between the SSC and codec on your board, including directions. ../fam -- Frank Mandarino fmandarino(a)endrelia.com Endrelia Technologies Inc.
