Are you sure? It seems the DAM unit in the i.MX27 has two on chip ports and
four external ports.
This I found yet (comparing mx27ads sources with mx27ads schematics):
SSI DAM ext. pins
---------------------------------------
SSI1 port_1
SSI2 port_2
port_3 ???
port_4 SSI1_* pin group <-- connected to PMIC on my board
port_5 SSI2_* pin group
port_6 ???
There are still the SSI3_* and SSI4_* pin groups, where I'm not sure about
their connection to DAM unit's ports.

SSI1 is configured as a slave, FS and clocks are inputs. Routing through the
DAM unit seems to work now, as the SSI unit shifts out the data I'm writing
into its FIFO.

This is currently my problem. The DMA does not work. If I enable the DMA it
seems to write something into the SSI FIFO. I can check it by reading the
FIFO counter. But at this point of time SSI1's dma_req is still disabled
(TDMAE is 0 in register SIER)! When I enable TDMAE after enabling the DMA
channel, next the DMA unit outputs an error: Error while transfer (DSESR bit
of the used channel goes 1). When I transfer the sound data in software it
works. I'm confused.
