Subject: [PATCH v3 1/9] ASoC: dt-bindings: qcom,qaif-cpu: Add binding
Date: Mon, 24 Aug 2026 12:06:19 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260824063627.3595610-2-harendra.gautam@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260824063627.3595610-1-harendra.gautam@oss.qualcomm.com>
QAIF routes audio between system memory, external PCM/TDM/MI2S serial
interfaces and the internal Bolero/WCD codec. Platform Devicetree files
need a binding to describe the controller resources, DAI cells and per-
interface AIF configuration, and named constants to avoid raw numeric IDs
in sound-dai references and child-node reg values.
Describe the MMIO region, interrupt, clocks, DMA IOMMU mapping and
aif-interface child nodes required by the controller.

+title: Qualcomm Audio Interface (QAIF) CPU DAI Controller
+

+
+description: |
+ The Qualcomm Audio Interface (QAIF) is a fully configurable DMA-based
+ audio subsystem controller. It serialises and deserialises PCM audio
+ between system memory and external serial audio peripherals (PCM, TDM,
+ I2S, MI2S) through the AIF path, and transfers parallel audio between
+ memory and an internal WCD codec through the CIF path.
+
+ AIF (Audio Interface): up to 13 multi-lane Unified Audio Interfaces,
+ each supporting up to 8 independent data lanes. Each lane is individually
+ configurable as TX (output/speaker) or RX (input/mic). All lanes of an
+ interface share a single bit clock and frame sync. Supported modes are
+ PCM (short/long sync), TDM, and MI2S (stereo/mono). Per-interface
+ configuration includes sync source (master/slave), sync mode, sync delay,
+ sync inversion, slot width (8/16/24/32-bit), sample width, active slot
+ masks (up to 32 slots), bits-per-lane frame size, lane enable/direction
+ masks, loopback, output-enable control, and full-cycle path support for
+ long chip-to-chip connections.
+
+ CIF (Codec Interface): up to 10 RDDMA (playback) and 10 WRDMA (capture)
+ channels connecting to an internal codec over a parallel bus. Each channel
+ supports active-channel enable mask (up to 16 channels), frame-sync
+ selection, frame-sync delay, frame-sync output gating, dynamic clock
+ gating, and 16-bit packing/unpacking.
+
+ Note on RX/TX naming convention: in QAIF, TX refers to the output
+ (speaker/playback) direction and RX refers to the input (mic/capture)
+ direction. This applies to both AIF lane directions and CIF slot/mask
+ properties.
+
+ DMA engine: RDDMA fetches audio from DDR/TCM/LPM into a shared SRAM
+ latency buffer (SHRAM) and drains it to the interface. WRDMA collects
+ data from the interface into SHRAM and writes it to memory. Each DMA
+ owns a private SHRAM region defined by start address and length registers.
+ Burst sizes of 1/2/4/8/16 beats (64-bit) are supported with up to 4
+ outstanding transactions per DMA. Two QSB master ports (QXM0 for TCM,
+ QXM1 for DDR/LPM) provide the memory interface.
+
+ Resources are partitioned among up to 5 Execution Engines (EEs) via
+ EE map registers. Each EE owns a set of DMAs, audio interfaces, and
+ interface groups, and receives its own independent interrupt output.
+ The interrupt hierarchy has a two-level structure: a summary register
+ identifies the event class (DMA period, underflow/overflow, error
+ response, audio interface underflow/overflow, group done, rate detector,
+ VFR), and per-resource status registers identify the specific channel.
+
+ Interface grouping (bonding) allows up to 6 groups of audio and codec
+ interfaces to start synchronously and align their DMA period interrupts
+ within half a frame duration using the RDDMA padding feature.
+
+ Two rate detector blocks measure the frequency of incoming frame sync or
+ word select signals and generate interrupts on rate change, undetected
+ rate, or sync timeout.
