[RFC PATCH v1 0/1] ASoC: meson: aiu: HDMI codec control questions and issues

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hello Jerome et al.,

on Amlogic Meson SoCs which use the AIU audio controller we have the
so-called "machine gun noise" (MGN) issue, reproducible for example in
Kodi. So far nobody was able to identify the cause of this issue. My
idea was to at least narrow down the issue so we can categorize it. For
that I wanted to get the SPDIF output from AIU to the HDMI controller
working.

On Amlogic Meson GXBB/GXL/GXM SoCs a DesignWare HDMI TX controller is
used. This has an SPDIF input but there's currently not driver for it.
On Meson8/8b/8m2 SoCs I am working on a HDMI driver for the TransSwitch
HDMI controller which - just like DesignWare HDMI TX - supports SPDIF
and I2S inputs.
I decided to add SPDIF support to the latter since the code from the
vendor driver is much easier.

It took me a while to figure out why I would not get any audio output
from AIU SPDIF to the HDMI controller - or from there to the sink.
The "fix" for this issue is the RFC patch which is part of this series.
Any feedback would be great as I am still new to the ASoC subsystem.

Another part I am still struggling with is the audio "routing" (due to
lack of a better term - please correct me if this is not the right word
to use for this case). I have the following description in my .dts:
	sound {
		compatible = "amlogic,gx-sound-card";
		model = "M8B-ODROID-C1";

		assigned-clocks = <&clkc CLKID_MPLL0>,
				  <&clkc CLKID_MPLL1>;
		assigned-clock-rates = <294912000>,
				       <270950400>;
		dai-link-0 {
			sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_CPU CPU_I2S_FIFO>;
		};

		dai-link-1 {
			sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_CPU CPU_SPDIF_FIFO>;
		};

		dai-link-2 {
			sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_CPU CPU_I2S_ENCODER>;
			dai-format = "i2s";
			mclk-fs = <256>;

			codec-0 {
				sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_HDMI CTRL_I2S>;
			};
		};

		dai-link-3 {
			sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_CPU CPU_SPDIF_ENCODER>;

			codec-0 {
				sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_HDMI CTRL_PCM>;
			};
		};

		dai-link-4 {
			sound-dai = <&aiu AIU_HDMI CTRL_OUT>;

			codec-0 {
				sound-dai = <&hdmi_tx>;
			};
		};
	};
The driver for &hdmi_tx defines:
	struct hdmi_codec_pdata pdata = {
		.ops			= &txc_48352_hdmi_codec_ops,
		.i2s			= 1,
		.spdif			= 1,
		.max_i2s_channels	= 8,
		.data			= priv,
	};
In hdmi_codec_ops.hw_params I always get fmt->fmt HDMI_I2S unless I
remove all I2S references from the .dts snipped above (only then
HDMI_SPDIF is detected). Based on the selection of the "HDMI Source"
enum in aiu-codec-ctrl I was expecting the format to update as well.
That unfortunately doesn't happen and I don't know how that can be
achieved.


Best regards,
Martin
