Hi Morimoto-san,
I'm really confused on what exactly is Front End and Back End.
Is FE a DAI or a DAI link or part of a DAI link?
In simple-card.c there is simple_dai_link_of_dpcm function:
struct snd_soc_dai_link_component *codecs = dai_link->codecs;
» /* BE is dummy */ » » codecs->of_node»» = NULL; » » codecs->dai_name» = "snd-soc-dummy-dai"; » » codecs->name» » = "snd-soc-dummy";
» » /* FE settings */ » » dai_link->dynamic» » = 1; » » dai_link->dpcm_merged_format» = 1;
So, from here it looks like BE/FE are components being part of the same link.
Another thing is:
asoc_simple_canonicalize_platform function where it does say:
» * DPCM BE can be no platform. » * Alloced memory will be waste, but not leak. » */ » if (!dai_link->platforms->of_node) » » dai_link->num_platforms = 0;
But I do want to create a BE with a platform. So, should I try to revert the following patch:
commit 794fcee8da3c0c8a01b08ecad1c181cb0a622868 Author: Kuninori Morimoto kuninori.morimoto.gx@renesas.com Date: Wed Jul 10 17:01:12 2019 +0900
ASoC: simple-card-utils: care no Platform for DPCM commit 34614739988ad ("ASoC: soc-core: support dai_link with platforms_num != 1") supports multi Platform, and commit 9f3eb91753451 ("ASoC: simple-card-utils: consider CPU-Platform possibility") removed no Platform from simple-card. Multi Platform is now checking both Platform name/of_node are NULLcase. But in normal case, DPCM be doesn't have Platform.
Basically, what I want to do is: after the DAI link is created to call: snd_soc_fixup_dai_links_platform_name function to set a proper name for BE platform.
The problem is that above mentioned patch sets dai_link->num_platforms = 0; so even the name is set the platform component is not probed.
Hi Daniel, Have you looked into how SOF does it at the time the dai_link elem in topology is parsed? https://github.com/thesofproject/linux/blob/5edcfdf3907354de7a260a451ba611f2...
Is this what you are asking about?
Thanks, Ranjani
thanks, Daniel.
