[alsa-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/2] da850 mcasp playback ping-pong buffers don't work

[Ben Gardiner]

Hi All, 

I've been testing playback on the da850evm. The good news is on 2.6.39-rc7
playback works fine. The bad news is that if the patches in the series 
are applied -- playback does not work. 

The first patch copies the sram-size platform data to the dma parameters
used by davinci-pcm the same way that the existing davinci-i2s driver 
does. The second patch assigns a buffer size to the playback sram platform
data and sets the queues as per Troy's introduction of ping-pong buffers.

I was hoping this would result in playback of audio; but instead there is 
soft click and then silence. I added pointer debug and observed that the 
period_update and hwptr_update events progress; but that's as far as I 
have probed. 

Does anyone have any clues why ping-pong buffers on da850 to the McASP 
would work? Or any clues why the patches are broken?

Best Regards,
Ben Gardiner
