PCM2912A Linux or Android Driver?

Other Parts Discussed in Thread: PCM2912A

Hi,

Any chance someone has interfaced the PCM2912A to a smart phone, or has an Android or Linux driver for this device?

Thanks!

  • Jamaal,

    Linux already has drivers for the PCM2912A built-in, so no additional downloads would be required to interact with it through something like ALSA.

  • Thanks Reagan,

    We just need verify that we can run the part from an Android phone.  The datasheet shows the following OS's, but not Android...http://www.ti.com/lit/an/slaa406/slaa406.pdf

     Operating Systems

    • · Microsoft™ Windows™ XP Home/Professional Japanese/English edition (For Windows XP, use the

    latest version of the USB audio driver available from the Windows Internet site, or apply Service

    Pack 1 or later. See the Q310507 white paper available from Microsoft.)

    • · Microsoft Windows Vista™ Business 32-bit / 64-bit Japanese edition
    • · Apple Computer Mac OS™ X 10.0 or later English edition

  • The PCM2912A is compatible with USB class Audio drivers. Android supports it since Jellybean http://developer.android.com/tools/adk/adk2.html

    While TI didn't test the PCM2912A with Android, chances are very high that they are compatible.

  • Has anyone heard of any update on Android drivers for this?  We use the PCM2912A and we need to operate from Android.  Any advice?

    Thanks,

  • It is probably not possible to support USB audio class chip like PCM2912A if vendor removed them from a device. Maybe on rooted android devices it is possible. You can check it with running local terminal like JuiceSSH and run command "dmesg" after put USB soundcard. You will see if kernel understand USB audio chip or not.
