Anssi, Libin,
Thank you very much for your help.
If L-PCM audio data packetization is done by hardware, is it possible to implement DSD over HDMI on Intel integrated graphics? Thanks again.
I don't think so, unless:
(a) It is possible to somehow encapsulate the stream in Audio Sample Packets and be accepted by the receiver (like e.g. AC3, DTS). I'm not aware of such a way.
or: (b) There is some undocumented feature in the Intel HDMI codecs allowing the driver to switch to DSD or driver-constructed packets (instead of ASP) in similar way as there is a way to switch to HBR packets.
Yes, I agree. And I'm not sure whether HDMI spec supports DSD.

Hi Community,
Hi,
I am trying to implement DSD (one bit audio) over HDMI, for Intel integrated graphics. I am referencing HDMI specification 1.3a.
Regarding audio data packetization, I am referencing spec: 5.3.4 Audio Sample Packet 7.6 Audio Data Packetization
Q1) Would you please point to me where is the source code to handle L-PCM audio sample packetization (to implement 5.3.4 Audio Sample Packet)?
It is done by the hardware.
Q2) I admit that I did not carefully read HD-Audio specification. Is this possible that this L-PCM audio data packetization is done by *hardware* (e.g HDMI related widgets/pins)?
Yes.
Q3) Did we implement "7.2 Audio Sample Clock Capture and
Regeneration"?
That is done by hardware. With some HDA codecs the video driver calculates the N/CTS values "manually", but AFAIK not on Intel HW.
As the N/CTS need fs and frequency of TMDS info, the hdmi driver does not implement this feature.
We currently are designing an audio link between audio subsystem and other components, like video or USB.
Maybe we will add the N/CTS information transmission. So we can calculate the N/CTS value in audio or gfx driver.
Thanks. Xuebing Wang
