Hi All,

i have to support a 2nd Audio Codec with AC97 Interface on McBSP Port2.
Processor: OMAP4460

If any one have any idea on how to go about this. 
Please let me know.

BR,
Sebastian

If you need to support a second codec on a dedicated bus, all you have
to do is set up a new snd_soc_dai_link. Read the documentation in
Documentation/sound/alsa/soc/ and see many of the good example in the
mainline kernel tree.

If your goal is to support a second codec in parallel to another one,
dynamix PCM (DPCM) is what you want to have a look at. It's there in the
kernel since 3.5, but AFAIK there's currently no user of it that can
serve as an example.

Hi Daniel,

my Board has 1x TWL6040(PDM/I2C) and 1x WM9715(AC97/MCBSP) so to independent
interfaces. I would like to use both Codecs simultaneously. So it might be
sufficient to create a new new snd_soc_dai_link?

thx
Sebastian

If the codecs are wired that way, you should have two dai links. The
topology that you build with ASoC whould match the layout of the hardware.

If you then want to use them simultaneously, you have to do that from
userspace, feeding the stream to both PCM interfaces. But that's of
course only possible if the Codec clocks are synced.
