[alsa-devel] SND-SOC - how to test drivers ?

[Vaclav Peroutka]

Hello all,

I am trying to develop ALSA driver for audio subsystem for one Android
mobile phone. I already have some messages in the kernel log - please
see below.

It means that I have s3c-i2s connected to MAX9880 (source code was not
IMHO tested). And then the output from MAX9880 goes into unknown
switching matrix ( for which I even don't have a datasheet - only
register list and names of bits in registers - I can guess what
purpose they serve to).

What I want is to make some testbench driver and an application which
can set switching matrix registers through IOCTL. In MAX9880 I want to
preset microphone path to output and switch matrix until I hear my
voice from microphone in speaker or headphones. Or, is there any
better method how to do that ?

AFAIK there is no alsamixer application for Android. What do you use
for path and gain settings in this case ?

And last question so far - where to look to fix this message: "Failed
to add route LMICIN->Mic Input" ? All other routes were added so far.

Thank you very much in advance,
Vaclav
