I was looking at sound documentation regarding how I can properly
write the multi-lane I2S support.
And I think we made a wrong interpretation here.
TDM slot-num and slot-width are not referencing the format called PCM
or DSP_A / DSP_B.
But really the physical time division representation of a format.
For example Amlogic do the following representation for Multi-lane I2S:
dai-link-7 {
sound-dai = <&tdmif_b>;
dai-format = "i2s";
dai-tdm-slot-tx-mask-0 = <1 1>;
dai-tdm-slot-tx-mask-1 = <1 1>;
dai-tdm-slot-tx-mask-2 = <1 1>;
dai-tdm-slot-tx-mask-3 = <1 1>;
mclk-fs = <256>;
codec {
sound-dai = <&tohdmitx TOHDMITX_I2S_IN_B>;
};
};
So i think for 2 channels HDMI using the simple sound card with TDM
property is not a hack but the correct way to represent it.
Do you agree ?
If so, can I resend the simple sound card for HDMI audio ?
Thanks,
