Hi Peter,
I am using linux 2.6.28 kernel,
there is a requirement to support multi (4) channel play back .
I guess TWL4030 ASoC driver now has full fledged support for both the DAC1(TX1) and DAC2(TX2) paths in option 1 of codec operation.
Yes it does. It has support for TX1L/R, TX2L/R, RX1L/R and RX2L/R (four channel playback and recording)
I am looking forward to back port the ASoC stuff drivers from 2.6.30 rc7 to 2.6.28.
Is there any better way of meeting the requirement with out back porting the stuff
Well, I think this is not going to be an easy ride. It is not that hard, but takes some time. I could think of two approaches to get the twl4030 codec work backported (plus one): 1. Backport the the whole ASoC changes to 2.6.28 2. Backport the twl4030 codec driver with minimal amount of ASoC changes 3. Convince whoever you need to convince that you need to move to 2.6.30 ;)
1. Since ASoC has been dramatically changed since 2.6.28 this is not going to be easy, but you will have the current ASoC features and it will be easier to follow upstream. 2. Pick the changes to the twl4030 codec one-by-one apply it, compile the result, if it breaks, take the needed patches to fix the errors. Fair amunt of work, but you will end up a working twl4030 codec, but you need to backport the new patches from upstream every time.. 3. This only exist in the ideal world.
In overall, I think your best bet is 1) You can take the 2) if you really know what you are doing...
Suggestions please.
Sorry for the english,,
