Do you have any ideas what needs to be done for voice calls support?
Sure.
:-).
I can talk to the modem and start a call.
Doing an AT query is the easy part :)
Well, yes. Doing it right (ofono, etc) is not that easy.
I agree. That can be worked on independently.
Then something like this (untested!) is certainly needed. Probably more...
I intentionally left this part out. The CPCAP codec has two DAIs and not 3+. The code you just added is a hack from Motorola. Their driver is full of hacks and it's obvious its author(s) did not fully understand the ASoC APIs.
Ok.
My understanding is, that we only need to replace the audio-graph-card driver to something more complex. The VOICE DAI needs to be configured differently based on the use case:
call:
- mode=i2s
- freq=26000000
- samprate=16000 or samprate=8000
Ok, lets ignore bluetooth for now. There is "normal" mode, and then there's "call" mode, right? Where's "normal" mode configured?
mcbsp3_port: port { cpu_dai3: endpoint { dai-format = "dsp_a"; frame-master = <&cpcap_audio_codec1>; bitclock-master = <&cpcap_audio_codec1>; remote-endpoint = <&cpcap_audio_codec1>; }; };
Could we simply always configure the VOICE DAI in the call mode? Yes, it would limit samplerates to 8 or 16k, but .. that's not too important limitation for voice codec...?
I think we could configure "normal" mode to use the same settings as call mode. But ASoC will disable CPCAP, since there will be no active user without ASoC knowing about the modem.
"audio-graph-card" is not capable of doing this. I was planning to try "audio-graph-scu-card" in combination with adding codecs for the modem and BT to DT. If that does not work we need a Droid 4 specific soundcard driver.
Either way "audio-graph-card" is not the correct driver for D4. I added it nevertheless, since it gets audio working for now and there is no risk of DT breakage. Old *.dtb will continue to work with the "audio-graph-card" even after we switch to something else.
Well, you'll still cause regressions when you change the dts, as people will have wrong .config for new dts.
That's correct, the .config needs to change. I think that's ok, because the only alternative is having no audio support at all until the soundcard driver is ready. This means, that you also need to change .config once its ready (in case you want to use it).
