    Hello Machida-san! We don't develop specific drivers for our products, to include the TAS6424, though our customers may develop their own. The TAS6424 is designed to be a slave I2C device, that does not need a driver and simply uses an I2C master to read/write I2C register contents. Many available tools can do this, including the GUI for the TAS6424. If you do not have the GUI for the TAS6424, please send me your email address and I will send it to you. Also, sometimes there are 3rd party drivers that can be found that may be useful to you.

    Tuan, do you have any reference for a 3rd part driver that may help here?

    Thanks, Jeff

    Hi Machida-san,

    TAS6424 does not require driver to run.  It does not have processing capability, i.e. it is not a micro-controller.  Internally, it acts much like a calculator.  It has a set functions which are listed in the register map.  These registers can be set via I2C bus.  An analogy would be TAS6424 can be set to PBTL the same as pushing a (+) or (-) on the calculator.

    The user's guide only calls out Purepath Console 3 (PPC3) GUI.  This GUI is developed around TAS1020 and not TAS6424.  The TAS1020 is used to set the functions of the TAS6424.  The TAS1020 uses standard USB drivers, i.e. HID, USB Audio drivers from the MS OS.

    A few customers use Sitara (TI Processor) in an environment that requires Linux driver.  This Linux driver is modified such that commands can be sent to TAS6424 for setting certain desired functions on the TAS6424 ... but not a stand-alone TAS6424 driver.

    Hope this answers your question.

    Regards,

    Tuan
