HDSP 9652 Status Request

HDSP 9652 Status Request

[Mark Knecht]

Hi,
   I'm just checking in to see what progress has been made on getting
this patch Paul did to support RME's new firmware for the HDSP series
into CVS. I've been literally down for 4-5 weeks now waiting for this. I
am completely unable to run Alsa at all without this patch.

   Can someone please provide an update on where all of this has
progressed to?

Thanks,
Mark

you cannot use the current ALSA driver with the new firmware.

i submitted a patch to handle the new firmware, but it has not been
put into CVS yet. meanwhile, thomas charbonnel has extended the work i
did and added some more stuff, and so we are working on a "mega-patch"
that fixes lots of issues with full HDSP support.

once thomas gets his tasklet problems fixed (for MIDI I/O without
affecting PCM latency), we'll submit the patch again.

Hi Mark,

I have been working on this patch for a moment. It is nearly finished
now. Unfortunately I couldn't spend much time on it this week. I'll be
back on it this evening. Expect a release quite soon. It'll be done by
the end of the week-end. Exciting features include : 96 kHz support,
midi I/O done in a tasklet, firmware loading from userspace application
(for multiface & digiface users, comes handy if the power supply of the
io box gets disconnected, avoids a reboot), plus nice fltk GUI to
control and display card settings (sample rate, preferred sync source,
spdif bits, sync state, etc...). You'll have to wait a little more for
the totalmix clone, but it's nearly finished too.

Thomas

Thomas,
   Thanks for the update. I wait patiently, if not anxiously, to be able
to use Linux again. Over the last two weeks I've gone back to Windows,
written 6 new pieces using Acid Pro and Pro Tools. I look very forward
to getting Linux support operational again so that I can add all of
these soft synths into the mix.

   Thanks for all your hard work. 

Cheers,
Mark
