hdsploader on ppc

hdsploader on ppc

[peter plessas]

Dear list,

this is a bit complicated, due to big/little endian issues, perhaps.
I am trying to load the firmware into my hdsp pcmcia card.

I am getting the fifo timeout:

peter:~# hdsploader
hdsploader - firmware loader for RME Hammerfall DSP cards
Looking for HDSP + Multiface or Digiface cards :
Card 0 : PowerMac Screamer Rev 0
Card 1 : RME Hammerfall DSP at 0xf3000000, irq 58
Upload firmware for card hw:1
Hwdep ioctl error on card hw:1 : Input/output error.

I am using debian testing, running a 2.6.8 kernel with manually compiled 
1.0.8 alsa drivers on a G3 powerpc laptop.

cardbus version is 11 (rev 0b)

the card is loadable out of osx.

i am stuck here, and don't know what to do now, i also hope this topic 
suits to the alsa-devel list.

any suggestions are very welcome!

thanks,
Peter

hdsp support on ALSA 1.0.8 seems buggy.
Please try 1.0.9rc1.

Hi!

Thanks for the hint, as i checked again, i see that i am indeed using 
alsa-drivers-1.0.9rc1.

 From what i found out so far, this might still be an endianess issue.
What about the firmware itself? Could there be a byte-swapping problem?

Thanks for any help!
I would so much like to solve this, it's been a year or so i have been 
revisiting this problem.

regards, Peter
