Right. I'm not attached to the dummy dai, but looks like currently snd-soc-audio-graph-card won't work without it.
The generic cards will link up a dummy dai/codec when it is needed by DPMC.
Not sure what should be fixed here..
The ASoC core creates dummy codec and dummy dai. They can be used by machine drivers when there is a need for a dummy connection.
And we potentially do need a place to configure TDM slot specific stuff for mcbsp.
Yes, but you still have one port and one endpoint should not change the configuration which is already in used for the other endpoint.
OK so what's the fix for snd-soc-audio-graph-card expecting a separate DAI then?
If it expects separate DAI in place where you don't actually have a DAI then it should use the dummy dai.
Oh, I think there are Android apps to do that though.. Never tried if they work on droid4. But if they do, doing a register dump of mcbsp3 would show up how it's configured.
I don't see how you could record the data from the line which is connected to McBSP_DX pin (the pin is output).
But I might be missing something.
Yeah I don't know either, but the pins we have muxed for mcbsp3 are:
/* 0x4a100106 abe_pdm_ul_data.abe_mcbsp3_dr ag25 */ OMAP4_IOPAD(0x106, PIN_INPUT | MUX_MODE1)
/* 0x4a100108 abe_pdm_dl_data.abe_mcbsp3_dx af25 */ OMAP4_IOPAD(0x108, PIN_OUTPUT | MUX_MODE1)
/* 0x4a10010a abe_pdm_frame.abe_mcbsp3_clkx ae25 */ OMAP4_IOPAD(0x10a, PIN_INPUT | MUX_MODE1)
/* 0x4a10010c abe_pdm_lb_clk.abe_mcbsp3_fsx af26 */ OMAP4_IOPAD(0x10c, PIN_INPUT | MUX_MODE1)
Isn't the data receive there as mcbsp3_dr?
Yes, that's the one. _dx is the tx pin from McBSP pow.
I think the link for the patches you posted is patching the snd-soc-audio-graph-card already?
Yes it does, but the functionality is there via custom machine drivers. What I afraid is that such a complex wiring as the Droid4 have it might be not possible to use a generic - fits everything - driver without making it a customized one ;)
Otho, if the only thing is the machine level DAPM switching and linking the paths then it might be relatively straight forward to extend the simple-card family.
Yeah or maybe it just needs to be handled directly in the cpcap, mdm6600 codec drivers?
The cpcap driver should no nothing about mdm6600 or anything which is outside of it, similarly to mdm6600. The machine driver knows that in the driod4 you have McBSP2, McBSP3, CPCAP, MDM6600 and WL1285. It is the role of the machine driver to make these work together.
Right. So right now it seems that for snd-soc-audio-graph-card needs the dummy dai, but it's unclear what would need to be changed to not use a dummy dai for mcbsp.
Since simple-card family can and will connect up dummy dai/codec when needed based on the setup, I would look at that and make it do so.
Oh so make simple-card spin up the dummy dai instead of mcbsp?
Not really, we have dummy dai/codec from core, the machine driver should use them.
Just think about: what if you move the audio setup to a new board with am5 for example? You will have McASP in place of McBSP, so you will also patch it up to create dummy mcasp dais? What if you move the setup to Tegra or imx, or qc? Patch everything up to create dummy dais?
The dts snippets I posted earlier do follow the graph bindings as far as I know. But just to confirm, do you see any need to move things around there?
It also states that a port is a physical port which can have multiple endpoints. But multiple endpoint != DAI. port == dai.
I guess I'm getting really confused now.. Are you saying the dts needs to be changed too now?
In a graph the port is the DAI. We have only one port in McBSP and it is bi-directional (dr/dx pins + clk lines).
Usually you have one McBSP connected to one codec, graph is clean: port to port.
In droid4 the physical lines are connecting together the 4 ports: McBSP3, CPCAP_voice, MDM6600 and Wl1285, right? It is a web ;)
But you still have _one_ port on the McBSP3 and not three. I guess the endpoints are coming into picture at this point to represent that the port is connected to multiple ports. The endpoints should control the port which is their parent.
mcbsp3_port { reg = <0>; mcbsp3_ep0: endpoint0 { remote-endpoint = <&cpcap_voice_ep0>; }; mcbsp3_ep1: endpoint1 { remote-endpoint = <&dmd6600_ep0>; }; mcbsp3_ep2: endpoint2 { remote-endpoint = <&wl1285_ep0>; }; };
cpcap_voice_port { reg = <0>; cpcap_voice_ep0: endpoint0 { remote-endpoint = <&mcbsp3_ep0>; }; cpcap_voice_ep1: endpoint1 { remote-endpoint = <&dmd6600_ep1>;}; cpcap_voice_ep2: endpoint2 { remote-endpoint = <&wl1285_ep1>; }; };
Or something...
If the cpcap_voice_ep1 <-> dmd6600_ep1 link is enabled then the McBSP3 port is not, it is not part of the graph.
In any case you will need DPCM for this to work to push the needed parameters to the codecs in case of codec2codec connection.

Tony
