Yes, this patch series attempts to add yet another HDMI driver to ASoC. This codec appears as HDA codec over HDA link. Although the codec reside in display we have a HDA link from audio block to this codec. The communication to codec is over HDA link
Thanks to i915 component infrastructure, we do not need to worry about keeping the codec on, this is done by i915 for us.
Based on discussion with Mark here at ELCE and other attempts by various folks on HDMI, I wanted to show on list the stuff we have done and discuss and try to see how we converge various attempts
The driver here only supports stereo and doesn't do multichannel just yet, will add later once we converge here. The support for using i915 component notification by David will be added later on.
Question/Comments welcome...
Hello Vinod,
Is this driver supposed to be working for Bay Trail and Cherry Trail as well? Right now we have an OEM product based on the Cherry Trail platform, there is no analog audio codec on it, the only audio device on the product is the HDMI audio (just like this one http://mailman.alsa-project.org/pipermail/alsa-devel/2015-August/096979.html). So could you please share some information about the support status for Cherry Trail HDMI audio, e.g. is the driver developed by your team? Is it still an out-of-tree driver right now? And do you plan to upstream it under the hdac_hdmi.c framework?
Hello Hui,
No this driver is applicable to Skylake onwards. I believe canonical already has a driver for HDMI BYT and you can use that and btw David knows about it
