Hello,

I try to connect a popular Arduino board PCM5102a with my board which is base on STM32MP135.

MWoo2_0-1688975337399.jpeg

I read some documentation from the link

but pcm, i2s and sound topics are something I have only a base knowledge of, so please give some advice and hints.

My dts looks like

 

/ {
 sound {
 compatible = "audio-graph-card";
 label = "STM32MP1-audio-test-card";
		routing =
			"Playback" , "MCLK",
			"Capture" , "MCLK",
			"MICL" , "Mic Bias";
		dais = <&i2s1_port>;
 status = "okay";
 };

 codec: pcm5102a-codec {
 compatible = "ti,pcm5102a";
 #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
 clocks = <&i2s1>; /* The codec is a consumer of I2S2 master clock */
 clock-names = "MCLK"; /* Feed MCLK codec clock with I2S2 master clock provider */

 codec_port: port {
 codec_endpoint: endpoint {
 remote-endpoint = <&i2s1_endpoint>;
				frame-master; /* Set codec as master of SAI1A for FS clock. */
				bitclock-master; /* Set codec as master of SAI1A for SCK clock. */
 };
 };
 };
};

	sai1a_pins_mx: sai1a_mx-0 {
		pins {
			pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('C', 0, AF2)>, /* SAI1_SCK_A */
					 <STM32_PINMUX('C', 3, AF10)>, /* SAI1_MCLK_A */
					 <STM32_PINMUX('E', 11, AF6)>, /* SAI1_FS_A */
					 <STM32_PINMUX('F', 12, AF6)>; /* SAI1_SD_A */
			bias-disable;
			drive-push-pull;
			slew-rate = <0>;
		};
	};

	sai1a_sleep_pins_mx: sai1a_sleep_mx-0 {
		pins {
			pinmux = <STM32_PINMUX('C', 0, ANALOG)>, /* SAI1_SCK_A */
					 <STM32_PINMUX('C', 3, ANALOG)>, /* SAI1_MCLK_A */
					 <STM32_PINMUX('E', 11, ANALOG)>, /* SAI1_FS_A */
					 <STM32_PINMUX('F', 12, ANALOG)>; /* SAI1_SD_A */
		};
	};

&sai1{
	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
	pinctrl-0 = <&sai1a_pins_mx>;
	pinctrl-1 = <&sai1a_sleep_pins_mx>;
	status = "okay";

	/* USER CODE BEGIN sai1 */
 #clock-cells = <0>;
 clocks = <&rcc SAI1>, <&scmi_clk CK_SCMI_PLL3_Q>, <&scmi_clk CK_SCMI_PLL3_R>;
 clock-names = "pclk", "x8k", "x11k";
 #sound-dai-cells = <1>;
	/* USER CODE END sai1 */

	sai1a:audio-controller@4400a004{
		status = "okay";

		/* USER CODE BEGIN sai1a */
		compatible = "st,stm32-sai-sub-a";
		reg = <0x4 0x1C>;
		clocks = <&rcc SAI1>;
		clock-names = "sai_ck";
		#clock-cells = <0>;
		dma-names = "tx";
		/*dmas = <&dmamux1 1 87 0x400 0x0>;*/
		/*dma-names = "tx";*/
		i2s1_port: port {
			i2s1_endpoint: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&codec_endpoint>;
				format = "i2s";
				mclk-fs = <256>;
			};
		};
		/* USER CODE END sai1a */
	};
};

 

 I get an error like

in optte dts I use CLK_SAI1_PLL4Q for SAI1a.

    Hello @MWoło.2 ,
    Do you want to use SAI interface or I2S interface ? 
    For this codec, I2S seems to be the most "natural" to use, and you can find an example of configuration on this thread.

    Kind regards,
    Erwan.

    Hi Erwan,

    I try and contact via the forum with the author. Unfortunately, I don't know how to connect mentioned Arduino module with I2S. When I use SAI I am able to find compatible signals like FS_A, SKC_A, SD_A. This is the only reason.

    Exitst somewhere complete filled example how to use sai? In the link I attached above it's too many places with '...', very significant '...'. So let's try to find out what needs to be filled here.

    Currently, I modified my sai in kernel dts to

     

    &sai1{
	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
	pinctrl-0 = <&sai1a_pins_mx>;
	pinctrl-1 = <&sai1a_sleep_pins_mx>;
	status = "okay";

	/* USER CODE BEGIN sai1 */
 #clock-cells = <0>;
 clocks = <&rcc SAI1>, <&scmi_clk CK_SCMI_PLL3_Q>, <&scmi_clk CK_SCMI_PLL3_R>;
 clock-names = "pclk", "x8k", "x11k";
 #sound-dai-cells = <1>;
	/* USER CODE END sai1 */

	sai1a:audio-controller@4400a004{
		status = "okay";
		dma-names = "tx";
		clocks = <&rcc SAI1_K>;
		clock-names = "sai_ck";
		i2s1_port: port {
			i2s1_endpoint: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&codec_endpoint>;
				format = "i2s";
				mclk-fs = <256>;
			};
		};
		/* USER CODE END sai1a */
	};
};

     

    And now it's look 

     

    [ 39.661471] st,stm32-sai-sub 4400a004.audio-controller: Missing dma channel for stream: 0
[ 39.778031] st,stm32-sai-sub 4400a004.audio-controller: ASoC: error at snd_soc_pcm_component_new on 4400a004.audio-controller: -22

     

    So the question is how to configure DMA correctly.

    Hello @MWoło.2 ,
    I reproduced on my side and here you can find my corrections.

    For your device tree:

     

    	sound {
 compatible = "audio-graph-card";
 label = "STM32MP1-audio-test-card";
		routing =
			"Playback" , "MCLK";
		dais = <&sai1a_port>;
 status = "okay";
 };

 codec: pcm5102a-codec {
 compatible = "ti,pcm5102a";
 #sound-dai-cells = <0>;
 clocks = <&sai1a>; /* The codec is a consumer of I2S2 master clock */
 clock-names = "MCLK"; /* Feed MCLK codec clock with I2S2 master clock provider */

 codec_port: port {
 codec_endpoint: endpoint {
 remote-endpoint = <&sai1a_endpoint>;
				frame-master; /* Set codec as master of SAI1A for FS clock. */
				bitclock-master; /* Set codec as master of SAI1A for SCK clock. */
 };
 };
 };
};

&sai1{
	pinctrl-names = "default", "sleep";
	pinctrl-0 = <&sai1_pins_a>;
	pinctrl-1 = <&sai1_sleep_pins_a>;
	status = "okay";

	/* USER CODE BEGIN sai1 */
 clocks = <&rcc SAI1>, <&scmi_clk CK_SCMI_PLL3_Q>, <&scmi_clk CK_SCMI_PLL3_R>;
 clock-names = "pclk", "x8k", "x11k";
 #sound-dai-cells = <1>;
	/* USER CODE END sai1 */

	sai1a:audio-controller@4400a004{
		status = "okay";
		dma-names = "tx";
		#clock-cells = <0>;
		clocks = <&rcc SAI1_K>;
		clock-names = "sai_ck";
		sai1a_port: port {
			sai1a_endpoint: endpoint {
				remote-endpoint = <&codec_endpoint>;
				format = "i2s";
				// mclk-fs = <256>;
			};
		};
		/* USER CODE END sai1a */
	};
};

     

    Note: As you only use the "TX" cell of SAI, I removed the "Capture" route in sound node that is a "RX" functionality. You can modify it as you want.

    For PCM5102A:

    Find enclosed the patch I applied on the driver. Please consider that this a first step of what you probably need, but it maybe have to be improved regarding the cs41l52.c driver example.

    I did not face your DMA issue, so be sure to have OSTL 4.1 without other modifications in other device trees.

    I hope it will help you to go forward.
    Kind regards,
    Erwan.

    @MWoło.2 ,
    As you have a custom board, I think the issue now is linked to your DMA manipulation. Maybe too many drivers are using DMA and so you have not enough to use it with your audio codec.

    To catch this, I point you another thread that deals with the same kind of issue here.

    Kind regards,
    Erwan.

    Hi Erwan,

    You have right, I set too many interfaces like uart, i2c etc. Now I have no DMA issues.

    After issue from command line aplay -l I get

    root@mp1-sagittarius:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: STM32MP1audiote [STM32MP1-audio-test-card], device 0: 4400a004.audio-controller-pcm5102a-hifi pcm5102a-hifi-0 [4400a004.audio-controller-pcm5102a-hifi pcm5102a-hifi-0]
 Subdevices: 1/1

    Now I'm curious how to play music using aplay or mpv, vlc etc.

    When I issue from the command line alsamixer I get

    root@mp1-sagittarius:~# alsamixer
ALSA lib ../../alsa-plugins-1.2.6/pulse/pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

cannot open mixer: Connection refused

    the same with 

    aplay -c 3 -t wav -r 44100 -f cd default.wav
    ALSA lib ../../alsa-plugins-1.2.6/pulse/pulse.c:242:(pulse_connect) PulseAudio: Unable to connect: Connection refused

aplay: main:831: audio open error: Connection refused

    Hmmm, what's now?
