[alsa-devel] [PATCH 0/7] TCO fixes for RME MADI/Raydat/AIO/AES cards
by Adrian Knoth 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi! I've spent another day at IOSONO to work with them on QA patches for the RME MADI series, especially the optional TCO module (LTC synchronisation with video cameras). Here are our results, all tested for an entire week in their lab. Cheers Adrian Knoth (7): ALSA: hdspm - Refactor sample rate acquisition ALSA: hdspm - Allow the TCO and SYNC-IN to be used in slave mode ALSA: hdspm - Provide ALSA control to disable 96K frames ALSA: hdspm - Remove duplicate code from ALSA controls ALSA: hdspm - Also check for TCO sync states ALSA: hdspm - Add ALSA controls to read the TCO LTC state ALSA: hdspm - Enable new TCO ALSA controls sound/pci/rme9652/hdspm.c | 379 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 237 insertions(+), 142 deletions(-) -- 1.7.10.4

[alsa-devel] Send to stable for "ALSA: hda - Move one-time init codes from generic_hdmi_init()"?
by David Henningsson 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi Takashi, Should this patch be sent to stable? commit 8b8d654b55648561287bd8baca0f75f964a17038 Author: Takashi Iwai <tiwai(a)suse.de> Date: Wed Jun 20 16:32:22 2012 +0200 ALSA: hda - Move one-time init codes from generic_hdmi_init() I'm investigating a kernel panic under kernel 3.5, and I'm not 100% sure (still waiting for person with hw to report back), but the only reasonable explanation I can find is that there is some power management activity going while the repoll timer (for hdmi_present_sense) is running, and that generic_hdmi_init reinitializes the delayed_work struct, thus causing the panic when the timer has elapsed. -- David Henningsson, Canonical Ltd. https://launchpad.net/~diwic

I'm not aware of any sound specific limitations in that area. Just try it, and let us know how it goes. Sending the output of 'lsusb -v' for a descriptor dump is mandatory in order to understand how your device is designed. Thanks, Daniel

Please have a look at sound/usb/endpoint.c - this is where the packet logic lives in. Please read the comments in this file - the packet sending for this implicit feedback mode is implemented in queue_pending_output_urbs(). > 2) We are upgrading our Zodiac DAC to use asynchronous feedback mode. > What Async feedback mode formats > does Linux support? Where can we see it in the source? Linux supports feedback over dedicated isochronous endpoints as well. The format is auto-detected in snd_usb_handle_sync_urb(), also in sound/usb/endpoint.c, after each stream start. Internally, the driver uses Q16.16. Hope this helps. In case of more specific questions, please just let me know. Thanks, Daniel

[alsa-devel] davici-mcasp: "tx-num-evt" confusion with number of serializers
by Michal Bachraty 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hi, I'm working on multichannel version of davinci-mcasp and also davinci-pcm. I have first version running and now I want to refine code. I found one confusion in davinci-mcasp with using of DT property "tx-num-evt". In DT binding documentation "tx-num-evt" is defined as "FIFO levels", but in Mcasp src, there is code, which mixes tx-num-evt with number of serializers (i2s data lines) that are enabled for data playback and receive (dev->txnumevt * tx_ser) mcasp_mod_bits(dev->base + MCASP_VER3_WFIFOCTL, (((dev->txnumevt * tx_ser) << 8), NUMEVT_MASK); >From dacinci pcm, DMA data tranfer use txnumevt as number of serializers and also for data prefetching. I undestand definition "FIFO levels" as how many prefetched data are in FIFO. Prefetched data are for me frame data / 2 ( all left or right channels for one sampling time). This results me from AM335x FIFO documantation. What is original purpose for "tx-num-evt" parameter? Thanks, Michal

[alsa-devel] Add ALSA driver to Buildroot image or add / load it after booting the image
by Marc Schultz 11 Mar '13

11 Mar '13

Hey ALSA-Devel community, I'm successfully booting a Buildroot made Linux image on my board. This board has an Cirrus Logic CS4270 sound chip and now I want to activate the specific sound card driver for it. Is there a good way to put the CS4270 driver files into the Linux Kernel folders of Buildroot to get them compressed into the Linux image or do I have to go one of the following ways after booting the image on my target hardware? http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Matrix:Module-cs4270 http://www.alsa-project.org/main/index.php/Driver_Compilation) Do you have a good workflow for me to get this thing working? Best regards, Marc Schultz

However, __user is a non-standard extension. > The line also appears as a warning when running make coccicheck. And when you remove the __user, you get a warning when running make C=x. Both coccinelle and sparse are merely tools for finding likely bugs. When it isn't possible to make them both happy with or without the cast, that just shows that the code itself is badly designed. The driver should be redesigned to not access user and kernel space memory through the same pointer. Regards, Clemens
