Reference ALSA SoC codec drivers for the above mentioned devices are now available from kernel.org. These device drivers have undergone limited testing on select OMAP3-based, OMAP4-based, and Sitara-based platforms. While every attempt has been made to adhere to guidelines for the development of ALSA SoC codec drivers, use of these drivers on other application processor platforms may require significant additional code. Device variants that include the miniDSP also require a binary firmware to be made available to the driver by the system. Not all features of these device are supported by the drivers.

Configuring audio devices for linux, typically requires that the DTS be modified in two areas:

The DTS usually has two areas that need the device to be described: i2c and sound. For i2C you would have the following entry with options specific to a device. These options are typically documented in the yaml or txt file for the driver. For example for tlv320aic3x:

&i2c0 {

tlv320aic3x: tlv320aic3x@1b {

compatible = "ti,tlv320aic3x";

reg = <0x1b>;

reset-gpios = <&gpio1 17 GPIO_ACTIVE_LOW>;

AVDD-supply = <&regulator>;

IOVDD-supply = <&regulator>;

DRVDD-supply = <&regulator>;

DVDD-supply = <&regulator>;

};

Also the DTS must describe the pins connected to the processor TDM or I2S bus. For a BeagleBone Black with a Sitara class processor using the McASP0 as the TDM bus peripheral with 32-bit data and TDM bus (dsp_a). Using the same example for tlv320aic3x:

&mcasp0 {

#sound-dai-cells = <0>;

pinctrl-names = "default";

pinctrl-0 = <&mcasp0_pins>;

status = "okay";

op-mode = <0>; /* MCASP_IIS_MODE */

tdm-slots = <4>;

serial-dir = < /* 0: INACTIVE, 1: TX, 2: RX */

2 0 1 0

tx-num-evt = <32>;

rx-num-evt = <32>;

};

/ {

clk_mcasp0_fixed: clk_mcasp0_fixed {

#clock-cells = <0>;

compatible = "fixed-clock";

clock-frequency = <24576000>;

};

clk_mcasp0: clk_mcasp0 {

#clock-cells = <0>;

compatible = "gpio-gate-clock";

clocks = <&clk_mcasp0_fixed>;

enable-gpios = <&gpio1 27 0>; /* BeagleBone Black Clk enable on GPIO1_27 */

};

sound {

compatible = "simple-audio-card";

simple-audio-card,name = "TI BeagleBone Black";

#sound-dai-cells = <0>;

simple-audio-card,dai-link@0 {

format = "dsp_a";

bitclock-master = <&sound0_master>;

frame-master = <&sound0_master>;

sound0_master: cpu {

sound-dai = <&mcasp0>;

clocks = <&clk_mcasp0>;

};

codec {

sound-dai = <&tlv320aic3x>;

};
