Peripheral Audio[edit | edit source]
Access to the audio interface is provided by ALSA (Advanced Linux Sound Architecture), which consists in a kernel driver and a users space library for application developers. A set of standard tools (alsa-utils) can be used for simple management of the audio codec.
Device tree configuration[edit | edit source]
Here below an example of device tree configuration used on standard DAVE's kit for the AXEL Lite SOM:
From imx6qdl-sbcx-revb-common.dtsi it is possible to find the codec SSI interface configuration:
sound {
compatible = "fsl,imx-audio-tlv320aic31xx";
model = "sbcx-audio-tlv320aic3100";
ssi-controller = <&ssi1>;
audio-codec = <&codec>;
audio-routing =
"Speaker", "SPK",
"Headphone Jack", "HPL",
"Headphone Jack", "HPR",
"MIC1LP", "Line In",
"MIC1LM", "Line In",
"MIC1RP", "Mic Jack",
"Mic Jack", "MICBIAS";
mux-int-port = <1>;
mux-ext-port = <3>;
status = "okay";
};
...
...
&audmux {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_tlv320aic3x_1>;
status = "okay";
};
&ssi1 {
status = "okay";
};
...
...
&iomuxc {
pinctrl-names = "default";
pinctrl-0 = <&pinctrl_hog_sbcx &pinctrl_hog_sbcx_one_piece>;
...
...
tlv320aic3x {

Accessing the peripheral[edit | edit source]
