Chip support for CS4270 and CS4265

Chip support for CS4270 and CS4265

[Steve deRosier]

All,

Does anyone know if the CS4270 and CS4265 are supported in Alsa?  I don't see either one on the matrix on the website, and also noted that ALL CS chips mentioned are listed as discontinued on Cirrus Logic's web site.

I took a brief look through the CVS web viewer and didn't see any mention of them either.  Does anyone know the status?

Thanks,
- Steve

These chips cannot be connected directly to a PCI (or similar) bus; they
expect audio data in a simple serial format and require some controller
chip that does DMA from/to the computer's memory.

The ALSA driver, if it existed, would be for this controller chip.

Do you have some particular sound card in mind?

Those are chips that have a PCI or ISA interface.

I'd like to know as well, Steve... Did anybody answer? Leonid.

Yes, quoting Clemens Ladisch:

These chips cannot be connected directly to a PCI (or similar) bus; they
expect audio data in a simple serial format and require some controller
chip that does DMA from/to the computer's memory.

The ALSA driver, if it existed, would be for this controller chip.

Thanks Clemens.  Makes perfect sense.  

No particular sound card in mind; Got someone working on an embedded design that will eventually run linux and this is what they're looking at puting in the audio portion.  Though I guess since the contract says they're responsible for the Alsa drivers I'm not going to worry about it; I just hope they understand what they're doing.  ;)

Just make sure they plan to support DMA! :)
