FYI: you don't need to patch the kernel tree to get dtb files with symbols, you can simply set DTC_FLAGS when calling make. eg ARCH=arm64 CROSS_COMPILE=... DTC_FLAGS="-@ -H epapr" make This also works on upstream kernels and I've been using that both for RPi and other SBCs for quite some t...

Re: PT8211 I2S ASOC driver

If you update to kernel 4.19 the spdif transmitter codec will support 32bit as well (this was added in 4.16). On kernel 4.14 you can use the pcm5102a codec that the hifiberry dac driver is using (it's basically a dummy codec as well that's only available in the RPi kernel and was added with the hifi...

Re: PT8211 I2S ASOC driver

By default bcm2835-i2s sets the number of bclk cycles to the data width - 16 for 16bit samples, 24 for 24bit etc. To use a fixed amount of cycles add the dai-tdm-slot-num (must be 2, as we have 2 channes) and dai-tdm-slot-width (set it to 32 to use 32 cycles per sample) to the cpu endpoint. eg cpu_e...

Re: STICKY: The I2S sound thread.

You still seem to have the cs4265 codec referenced, which won't load until you attach a cs4265 via I2C - you have to replace that codec with the one you intend to use. As you seem to use the PCM4202 in a fixed samplerate configuration the easiest way would be to use the (dummy) spdif receiver codec ...

Re: STICKY: The I2S sound thread.

You have to instantiate your codec (your "ADC driver") via a devicetree fragment, the example you linked to uses the "spdif transmitter" dummy codec, so you'll only get a playback device. Since you want to use the codec as clock master you need to use a proper driver, the (dummy)...

You automatically get all alsa controls from all codecs.

In general the soundcard driver doesn't need to contain much code, it jus...

Re: RPI 3 UART max speed

The RPi has 2 UARTs, a PL011 and a "mini UART". In general it's best to use the PL011. The PL011 uses the ~48MHz uart clock as a base, which results in a maximum achievable baudrate of 3Mbit/sec (48MHz/16). I recently did some tests and transmitting data at 3mbit/sec looked fine on the sco...

Re: STICKY: The I2S sound thread.

If you want to use the codec in left-justified mode you also have to use the left-justified dai format (SND_SOC_DAIFMT_LEFT_J). But, I would not recommend doing that. bcm2835-i2 only operates correctly in left-justified mode if it is the frame master. If it's the slave left-right channel swaps can o...

Are you maybe using a DSO 138 or a similar toy to check the signals? If yes the result is expected, bclk will be about 3MHz and the DSO 138 has a maximum bandwidth of 200kHz.

Re: Possibility for multiple instances of LIRC?

Glad you got it working! It could well be that the remote uses a non standard protocol - there's a lot of really odd remotes and proprietary protocols out there. In this case raw data recording/transmission is needed, and with ir-ctl you'll need to use separate files per button for that. so long, Hias
