For [dir=playback, cmd = PCM_TRIGGER_START], fsl_sai_trigger does the following: * Enable DMA request * Enable Transmitter
Now, because DMA doesn't copy data to TDR fast enough we hit TX FIFO underrun error:
[ 37.175974] fsl-sai 308b0000.sai: isr: Transmit underrun detected
The explanation for this can be found in SAI documentation for example chapter 16.16.3.5.2 FIFO pointers of the i.MX8DXP reference manual [1]
" If the Transmit FIFO is empty, then to avoid a FIFO underrun, the Transmit Data Register must be written at least 3 bit clocks before the start of the next unmasked word. Before enabling the transmitter, the Transmit FIFO should be initialized with data (since after the transmitter is enabled, the transmitter will start a new frame, and if no data is in the FIFO, then the transmitter will immediately give an error). "
