Hi I have a board with ti am3358 processor. it has a sound port called McASP and I've used IDT821034 as codec. The Linux kernel source package that is included by board company is 3.2.0 and I wrote a basic driver for IDT821034 codec and changed the code of davinci-mcasp.c . Now the basic functionality of system is ok and i have signals on oscilloscope. Another thing is i have to setup a specific configuration for this system. the target system must have 32 tdm slots in each frame and 32 PCM channels and each slot is 8 bits. this is also done in kernel source code. currently the problem is i want that data of channel 1 be mapped to slot 1, channel 2 be mapped to slot 2, .... and channel 32 be mapped to slot 32. but when i run aplay to send to only channel 1, data will be send to all slots! i want that all slots be 0 except slot 1. How can i do that?
I searched in source tree and found the function that i need to override this behaviour is copy that is defined in snd_pcm_ops structure. I defined a function called davinci_pcm_copy in davinci-pcm.c file and added the function to structure like below:
static struct snd_pcm_ops davinci_pcm_ops = { .... .copy = davinci_pcm_copy, };
the problem is, this copy function is not called at all by kernel pcm subsystem.
Again i searched the kernel code and found that copy function has a calling path as below:
alsa-lib -> snd_pcm_playback_ioctl -> snd_pcm_playback_ioctl1 -> snd_pcm_lib_write -> snd_pcm_lib_write1 -> snd_pcm_lib_write_transfer -> copy
but my calling path is:
alsa-lib -> snd_pcm_playback_ioctl -> snd_pcm_playback_ioctl1 -> snd_pcm_common_ioctl1 -> snd_pcm_sync_ptr
I created a wav file from a mp3 file with this command:
ffmpeg -i file.mp3 -ac 1 -ar 8000 -ab 64k -f u8 file.wav
and played with this command:
aplay -vv -c 1 file.wav
Strange thing is when i run this aplay command in my PC the first calling path is executed but when i run the same aplay with same file in my board the second calling path is executed. Is it related to software and hardware params of sound devices? if yes, what should i do to copy function being called in my board?
thanks
