TLV320AIC3100: TLV320AIC3100

Ok, I got the portable version installed.

Now, what are the distinctions between the AIC31xx Async and Sync frameworks.

My application would be working as a I2S slave to a master DSP

Hi Bruce,

The miniDSP is split into two cores: the ADC core and the DAC core. Async vs Sync frameworks determine if these two cores are to work synchronously or not. If data needs to be passed between the two cores, they must be synchronous. Otherwise they can be asynchronous and that offers some flexibility in your clock tree.

Best regards,

I am a rank beginner at this application and device.

Is there a good tutorial on how to add basic DSP functionality to the TLV320AIC3100?

I am still struggling with getting the basic (factory initialization) to be programmed on startup from my host CPU

Hi Bruce,

Unfortunately PurePath Studio has limited support and documentation. Most elements/blocks in the GUI can be right clicked and select "help" to get a description of the block. Here's also an FAQ: https://www.ti.com/lit/ml/slau268b/slau268b.pdf?ts=1701966153936&ref_url=https%253A%252F%252Fwww.ti.com%252Ftool%252FAICPUREPATH_STUDIO

I'm noticing now that you're working with the AIC3100, however that device doesn't have a programmable miniDSP. Other devices in the AIC31xx family do. PurePath Studio isn't going to be very helpful here. PPS technically supports the device, but it just becomes a very confusing I2C controller.

We can focus on getting your basic initialization from your host. What exactly is the problem you're running into?

Thanks,
Jeff McPherson
