Declaring SPI slave devices

Unlike PCI or USB devices, SPI devices are not enumerated at the hardware level. Instead, the software must know which devices are connected on each SPI bus segment, and what slave selects these devices are using. For this reason, the kernel code must instantiate SPI devices explicitly. The most common method is to declare the SPI devices by bus number.

This method is appropriate when the SPI bus is a system bus, as in many embedded systems, wherein each SPI bus has a number which is known in advance. It is thus possible to pre-declare the SPI devices that inhabit this bus. This is done with an array of struct spi_board_info, which is registered by calling spi_register_board_info().

For more information see: Documentation/spi/spi-summary.rst

You need to set the modalias of your SPI info according to your codec. Valid values are “ad1835”, “ad1836”, “ad1837”, “ad1838” and “ad1839”. You'll also have to adjust bus_num and chip_select according to your board setup.

static struct spi_board_info board_spi_board_info[] __initdata = {
	[--snip--]
	{
		.modalias = "ad1836",
		.max_speed_hz = 3125000,     /* max spi clock (SCK) speed in HZ */
		.bus_num = 0,
		.chip_select = 4, /* CS, change it for your board */
		.mode = SPI_MODE_3,
	},
	[--snip--]
};
static int __init board_init(void)
{
	[--snip--]
 
	spi_register_board_info(board_spi_board_info, ARRAY_SIZE(board_spi_board_info));
 
	[--snip--]
 
	return 0;
}
arch_initcall(board_init);

Adding Kernel Support - As a module

To add support for the built-in codec AD183X of BF5XX to the kernel build system, a few things must be enabled properly for things to work.The configuration is as following:

Linux Kernel Configuration
  Device Drivers  ---> 
    Sound  ---> 
      <M> Sound card support
        Advanced Linux Sound Architecture  --->
          <M> Advanced Linux Sound Architecture
          < > Sequencer support
          <M> OSS Mixer API 
          <M> OSS PCM (digital audio) API
          <M>   ALSA for SoC audio support  --->
              <M>   SoC I2S(TDM mode) Audio for the ADI BF5xx chip
              <M>   SoC AD183X Audio support for BF5xx                      

Doing this will create modules (outside the kernel). The modules will be inserted automatically when it is needed. You can also build sound driver into kernel.

Testing the built in kernel driver

If audio is configured as modules, skip this section. If audio is built into kernel and you have booted the kernel, there are a few things to check to ensure audio is working:

  1. Check the boot messages to see if you have booted the correct kernel. During kernel boot, it should print out:
      Advanced Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1 (Thu Jun 22 13:55:50 2006 UTC).
      ASoC version 0.13.1

      ALSA device list:

Driver testing

  1. Check the output

root:~> tone
TONE: generating sine wave at 1000 Hz...
You should hear something out of the headphone Jack.

  1. Check and set the audio mixer:

root:/> amixer
Simple mixer control 'Playback Deemphasis',0
  Capabilities: enum
  Items: 'None' '44.1kHz' '32kHz' '48kHz'
  Item0: '48kHz'
Simple mixer control 'ADC High Pass Filter',0
  Capabilities: pswitch pswitch-joined
  Playback channels: Mono
  Mono: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'ADC1',0
  Capabilities: pswitch
  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Mono:
  Front Left: Playback [on]
  Front Right: Playback [on]
Simple mixer control 'ADC2',0

  Mono:

  Front Right: 1023 [100%] Playback [on]
  
root:/> amixer sset 'DAC3' 200

  Playback channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Capture channels: Front Left - Front Right
  Limits: 0 - 1023
  Front Left: 200 [20%] Playback [on]
  Front Right: 200 [20%] Playback [on]
Also you can run “alsamixer” to get graphic configuration interface, OSS-based “mixer” can work too.

  1. Check to make sure mp3s work (assuming you have built mp3play),
    1. The first step is to download a mp3 file onto the platform. The wget command assumes that networking is properly configured (you have an IP number, the default gateway is set, and DNS servers can be accessed), and working. See the network setup page for more info.
      root:/> cd /var
      root:/var> wget http://www.radiocrazy.com/shows/A/AbbottCostello/ABCOWhosOnFirstclip.mp3
      
    2. Next, play it with mp3play:
      root:/var> mp3play ABCOWhosOnFirstclip.mp3
  2. You can play it in one step with:
    root:~> mp3play http://www.radiocrazy.com/shows/A/AbbottCostello/ABCOWhosOnFirstclip.mp3
    http://www.radiocrazy.com/shows/A/AbbottCostello/ABCOWhosOnFirstclip.mp3: MPEG2-III (0 ms)
    
  3. Optionally check to make sure the mic and headphone are working properly:
    root:~> arecord -d 10 test.wav
    Recording WAVE "test.wav" : Unsigned 8 bit, Rate 8000 Hz, Mono
    root:~> aplay test.wav
    
    This should record 10 seconds of whatever is on the Line, and then play it back over the output.
  4. You should also be able to do a “talkthrough”, and hear on the speakers anything you put on the line.
    root:~> arecord | aplay
