Hello,
I m very new to ASoC (and not native english speaker) so be indulgent ;-) The context : am335x-boneblack. I want to drive simple I2S targets. With the ongoing developments, and recent patches posted here, this is a very simple job for the simple-audio-card machine driver even with fixed external master clock. I want to go further using a programmable external clock (si570) which is not very complicated thanks to the CCF. But now I want to use the dynamic nature of this external master clock (through CCF) to be able to generate 44.1khz AND 48 multiples of fs which is not natively possible on the BBB because of integer fs scaling only and/or no dedicated audio PLL. I know that the same could be achieved on the BBB with switching between internal clock (24mhz) and external one (24.576mhz) gated by GPIO1_27, but this is another story.
Which direction is the right one ?
- dedicated machine driver ?
- or something more generic / reusable implemented in the
simple-audio-card drivers through helpers routines ?
- or something else ?
Ok,
I did a little bit of homework and mailing list digging. If I understand the "problem" correctly, here we are: - ASoc is now completely CCF aware - McASP driver is not, but it is not a real problem in most use cases when we omit the possibilities offered by AHCLKX or if we use a static AHCLKX configuration. My use case needs two different level of ccf work on the McASP driver: First, a "basic" conversion to CCF to be able to use simple-audio-card, choosing the used clock (AHCLKX or AUXCLK) with the assigned-clocks/assigned-clock-parents standard DT properties as it seems to be the way to go (February discussion about selecting system clocks by ID ). Next, a more advanced support for the external AHCLKX case, which could be driven by a programmable clock (clk_set_rate available). Most use cases would be covered by a 24mhz and 24.576mhz AHCLKX and the correct divisors sets as need by the McASP driver. With more complexity, arbitrary I2S rate (with arbitrary AHCLKX) or better accuracy ( dynamic switching between internal AUXCLK @24mhz and external fixed AHCLKX @24.576mhz) could be achieved. And no need for a machine driver, simple-audio-card would be sufficient.
Right ?
Emmanuel.
