ALSA Driver for ARM

ALSA Driver for ARM

[K.Fetscher]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 447 bytes --]

Hi,

I want to programm an driver for the Cirrus CS42516 and the ARM9 CPU 
EP93xx also from Cirrus.

I think, there are several errors:

- when I start aplay, I receive a buffer. A dump to this memory region 
show only zeros.

- after the complete buffer is transmitted (but not the complete file), 
I receive an underrun from ALSA

- I never detect a mmap function call.

I have attached the source code and also the Debug output.

Thanks

Klaus

Hi,

I have a new hint, but the problem is not solved.

I have written some characters into the DMA Memory Area (with a Hardware 
Debugger) when the driver is started, but aplay is not started. After I 
start aplay, all my characters are overwritten with Zero.

Which function in ALSA is responsible for filling the DMA Buffer ?

If it's not mmap mode, it must be through
SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_WRITEI_FRAMES ioctl (note that alsa-lib doesn't use
write syscall).

i.e. snd_pcm_lib_write() -> snd_pcm_lib_writei() ->
  snd_pcm_lib_write_transfer() -> copy_from_user()

What kernel version are you using?

If it's 2.6.11 or above then the problem is most likely to be in your 
own code.  Prior kernel versions had problems with the mapping of DMA 
memory.
