Hi Nicolin,
I have sent v3 and removed this patch from the series because we
need to find a better solution.
I think we should enable TCE based on the number of available datalines
and the number of active channels. Will come with a RFC patch later.
Pasting here the reply of SAI Audio IP owner regarding to your question above,
just for anyone to have more info of our private discussion:
If all 8 datalines are enabled using TCE then the transmit FIFO for
all 8 datalines need to be serviced, otherwise a FIFO underrun will be
generated.
Each dataline has a separate transmit FIFO with a separate register to
service the FIFO, so each dataline can be serviced separately. Note
that configuring FCOMB=2 would make it look like ESAI with a common
address for all FIFOs.
When performing DMA transfers to multiple datalines, there are a
couple of options:
* Use 1 DMA channel to copy first slot for each dataline to each
FIFO and then update the destination address back to the first
register.
* Configure separate DMA channel for each dataline and trigger the
first one by the DMA request and the subsequent channels by DMA
linking or scatter/gather.
* Configure FCOMB=2 and treat it the same as the ESAI. This is
almost the same as 1, but don’t need to update the destination
address.
Thanks,
Daniel.
