I remember some linux-sunxi devs being pretty enthousiastic a few days ago when new HDMI drivers have been spotted in latest release of Allwinner's 3.4 BSP since this is the first time they got a proper license (and can now be used to implement HDMI in mainline kernel and u-boot). Maybe the same applies to Audio too (still no idea since enjoying the silence
)Seen some VERY INTERESTING diffs from orangepi's sourcetree there!!
I will give it a try, make a little patch on the relevant device files and apply it to Igor's build..
If that is for real and works.. then............

Yes, all audio drivers also have proper license now. We should see more H3 media related work now. I already informed Jean-Francois Moine about that, the guy who works on DRM and HDMI video & audio driver for H3 and A83T. He said it will take couple of weeks to upload the driver. BTW, from what I saw, SPDIF driver should already work on mainline. I'm not sure about I2S driver though. It would be best if you ask codekipper or someone else about I2S on H3 status on IRC. IIRC someone already started working on some audio drivers, apart from SPDIF and HDMI audio.
Thanks for the info, really appreciated.
If you happen to have the name of the relevant IRC (or a link) for me to keep an eye on would be great.

Ok Thomas, indeed needed the kernel clarification.
It also eluded me that most likely the mainline devs couldnt care less for any legacy issues.
On the other hand though, is there any way we can have audio in mainline for H3??
I'm not able to have audio drivers at vanilla in either OPi or NPi

Or is there any guide somewhere that we can enable even the onboard H3 audio?

Hi,
Initially this started by trying to have proper capture and playback in PCM/I2S port, but it looks like that ALL H3 audio drivers got the same problem, they cannot capture at 24bits, they cannot do HiFi recording despite the Allwinner's datasheet that they do have 24bits in plain audio port and up to 32bits in PCM/I2S/HDMI.
I made a very simple test in another thread here and anyone with any H3 board without anything else can do it too
-> http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/759-tutorial-i2s-on-orange-pi-h3/?p=17595
Then it popped to my mind to do the most simple of the tests, in the included/onboard audio codec, wich according to datasheet it is working to 24bits, so not even a PCM/I2S enabled board is needed, just a stock one.

There is an error in the above system reporting, the codec according to datasheet is able to go up to 48KHz and not up to 192KHz, that is an indication that whoever did the driver implementation didnt do it properly..
Next, I did the same test as in the PCM/I2S post above, this time with the onboard codec Card 0, ID `audiocodec', name `audiocodec'
root@orangepione:~# arecord -t wav -c 2 -f S24_LE -r 48000 -d 10 testrec.wav Recording WAVE 'testrec.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo root@orangepione:~#
Requested a 10 seconds recording at 24bits.
As previously, the system took 20 seconds of a recording..
Then did the aplay of the recorded file
root@orangepione:~# aplay testrec.wav Playing WAVE 'testrec.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo root@orangepione:~#
which again did squeeze the 20 seconds of initial recording into 10 seconds..
Thus, if I look at it correctly, we have a more generic audio issue in H3 audio drivers and not only to PCM/I2S that initially thought.
Could be the DMA implemetnation or timing, dont know.
@Igor and admins, do you think we can report this to linux sunxi for rectification?

I use a PCM4222 EVM.
From what I seen, the current driver (daudio), is working only with 16bits capture.
Though the driver itself reports via alsacap that it can work at any ramplerate 8000..192000 and at 16/24/32bits as shown in Card 1, ID `snddaudio', name `snddaudio'

There is an easy test to verify that the H3 PCM/I2S driver has a serious flaw/bug though.
The PCM/I2S port as it is now setup in script.bin (working only in legacy.. still pending in vanilla..)
is configuring the PCM/I2S port as master, thus it does not rely for any timing/control signal from the peripheral/codec/adc.
That is good for our testing since no additional external hardware/codec/adc is required and everyone can do the test. Anyone that has any H3 board with a PCM/I2S enabled port.
I do have setup the card1 as default
root@nanopineo:~# cat /etc/asound.conf pcm.!default { type hw card 1 } ctl.!default { type hw card 1 }So, at first, do a 20sec capture
root@nanopineo:~# arecord -t wav -c 2 -f S24_LE -r 48000 -d 20 testrec.wav Recording WAVE 'testrec.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo root@nanopineo:~#
You will notice, if you got a clock/timer on the other side of the screen, that this command it actually records for 40 sec!! not 20 as requested!!
So, if you play the wav file you expect it to last for 40 sec..
Then do play the recorded file
root@nanopineo:~# aplay testrec.wav Playing WAVE 'testrec.wav' : Signed 24 bit Little Endian, Rate 48000 Hz, Stereo root@nanopineo:~#
If you see the actual time passed, it will be 20 sec played, but the inital recording lasted for 40 sec.. (gotcha)
In any samplerate you try, either 8K or 96K or 192K it will give the same results if you do a capture with more than 16bits resolution, eg S24_LE or S32_LE.
Capturing with 16bits resolution eg with S16_LE everything is just fine.
Obviously the H3 PCM/I2S driver has a problem with capture in anything higher than 16bits resolution and needs to be rectified.
Christos
P.S.
Even if you do not rely on the -d <seconds> parameter, but you do it manualy by starting and stopping with ctrl-C and measuring the elapsed time yourself, you will notice the same thing, the recorded file lasts always half the time you recorded for, when having more than 16bits eg S24_LE.

Hi Slawek,
There are no old guys, just some others are too young!! (I myself am a '65 model..)Not sure if that applies to you, but the two images in the armbian nanopineo specific download page are headless (no GUI) so they might lack some of the X11 features you require.
Take a shot and try to build one for yourself via the https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib in the page there are instructions for a custom build so you might have luck building a desktop build instead of a console/terminal only.

Was anyone successful in capture?
Edit/P.S.
Ok, it works, after a reboot.

Hi,
Got a bit of a strange situation here.
Trying to get H3 I2S working in both playback and capture.
Tweaked script.bin and got the I2S0 up and running.
Playback in 96K and 192K tested and is ok.
Capture though is giving me a headache.
When I try to use arecord it does work and generates a wav file but upon playing the file with aplay and although the samplerate (96K or 192K) and channel numbers (Stereo) show ok on screen, the audio result from this recording is always mono and looks that the included samples numer is divided by 2 thus the playback time is shortened accordingly, eg if I record 10 sec, a 5 sec playing time happens.
Verified the actual I2S HW lines with digital scope and they are ok with proper time periods/frequency and samplerate or bit depth.
So, my question, has anyone any experience with a working I2S in H3 ? Is it actually working or the I2S driver is misbehaving? Is it tested in 96K and 192K capture?
Can someone point me to where the pcm script.fex parameters are documented?
The official sunxi does not show them..
-> http://linux-sunxi.org/Fex_Guide
Christos
P.S.
Boards tested/used are NanoPi NEO & OrangePi ONE
To add a bit here, the problem happens when I capture/play with samplesizes more than 16bits, eg 24 or 32, S24_LE/S32_LE.

Hi
What kind of hardware are you using to input 192Ksampled audio ?
I found some for output but for various SDR uses input is what I'm looking for.

Hi
Linux imbecile here.
Do any of the Armbian distros have the USB port operational?
I want to use my Neo as a NAA device for HQPlayer. I don't know if I have not installed HQPlayer NAA correctly onto my Neo or if the NAA is not seeing my DAC because the USB port is disabled.
I am currently using ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun8i.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards
Carl
Hi Carl,
Yes, if you build yourself a new image now, either legacy or vanilla, it will have USB working ok.

Only sources available. So unless someone knowledgeable reading through sources adds the stuff to linux-sunxi wiki nothing will change (I'm not kidding and I also lack both skills and interest... but this is really how it works. Documentation has to be written
)Ok Thomas, I understand your point and where you stand on this.
I only hope that some knowledgable guys who have insight or experience on the issue I have stated on the initial post, come and lend a hand with some pointers at least on what to look for or where.
Any help is welcome.

There are though after all pcm parameters in the script.fex for the H3
[pcm0] daudio_used = 1 daudio_master = 4 daudio_select = 1 audio_format = 1 signal_inversion = 1 mclk_fs = 128 sample_resolution = 32 slot_width_select = 32 pcm_lrck_period = 32 pcm_lrckr_period = 1 msb_lsb_first = 0 sign_extend = 0 slot_index = 0 slot_width = 32 frame_width = 0 tx_data_mode = 0 rx_data_mode = 0 i2s_mclk = port:PA18<2><1><default><default> i2s_bclk = port:PA19<2><1><default><default> i2s_dout0 = port:PA20<2><1><default><default> i2s_din = port:PA21<2><1><default><default>
And they are sitting there since the first 3.x release from whoever did it (AllWinner itself or SinoVoip/Xunlong/FriendlyArm..)
Yet there is zero info for most of them..

Hi,
Since yesterday's new 4.8 kernel announcement was having at least one Allwinner CPU supported with I2S in a DTS include file, (sun7i-a20.dtsi), I hope some knowledgable brilliant minds will come and give a similar solution for H3 and the many today's boards that contain this CPU.

You can force older naming scheme by adding rule in /etc/udev/rules.d
..if I only knew
how to do that.And as they say, if its not broken, dont try to fix it, I'll live with it.
It works just fine as it is, it just has a ..strong character of its own!!
Thanks for the hint though, appreciated and I might dive into udev rules someday to see how it can be done.

Ok thanks,
Just to confirm though, I've seen a few posts in armbian, eg -> http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/993-ds18b20-temperature-sensor-in-lamobo-r1/
where they modify BOTH the fex and the dts in order to achieve their goal.
I guess that is redundant? only the dts needs change right?
Christos
P.S.
BTW, these are some real case examples found in the forum here regarding dtc, so I sum them up just in case they are useful to someone that wants to have a look, together with Thomas's hints made me get an idea of what the dtc is

Hi,
Seen some posts where mentioning that depending of the version of kernel there is either FEX or DTS usage, old ones called Legacy, using FEX to define GPIOs and Peripherals pins.
Wit Mainline Kernel, is using DTS.
Yet in the recent kernel (dev) armbian builds, eg armbian 5.21, kernel 4.7.6 (on H3, NEO), seen the /boot containing all the FEX stuff script.bin etc.
Is FEX still used in the mainline kernel builds?

So if I change only the script.bin with bin2fex/fex2bin do these changes be effective in armbian latest kernel builds 4.x?
Christos
-
A question to the Armbian gurus here for the new armbian builds with 4.x kernel.
Do these builds take into consideration the DDR frequency for the NanoPi-NEO RAM? or is that too from the OPi board and thus poses a risk factor for us with NEOs?
Should we avoid making armbian builds with kernel 4.x on NEO?
-
Ok,
Finally I did a Debian latest kernel build and now it works just fine with WiFi

Used with the USB1 exported pins via the DIY board and connector shown above (until of course a proper USB3 image comes)
Modifications to wifi related files are as described here -> http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1237-tutorial-opi-one-wireless-success/.
Hope that will be useful to anyone interested.

Ok,
Did some 'cheating' here and instead of going into device tree and change the USB1 to USB3
(I admit I got quite a few gaps still in the dtc/btb/bts thing..)
I just connected the USB1 from the pinheader expansion on NEO and now the wifi device is visible

so, how can I set this up? is there any how-to to read?

P.S.
Here is attached the little patchwork

Ok,
A new build has been done Ubuntu 16.04 with 4.7.6, it looks working.
I answered the default answer to all the build (NEW) questions.

As tk said, the USB obviously needs modification as the connector in NEO is not enabled in this build.
Lets see now what can be done with dtc..

Ok,
To answer my own post, info found here
-> http://forum.armbian.com/index.php/topic/1237-tutorial-opi-one-wireless-success/
due to being identical OPiOne<->NPi-NEO, WiFi RTL8192CU wlan0 its working now ok

Now lets see what can be done with recent kernel builds..
[Legacy kernel] All H3 audio drivers are broken at 24bit resolution?
in Allwinner sunxi
Posted
I understand.
From a first glimpse, it shows that in this latest BSP they do have added handling of the 24bit resolution, its obvious from the diffs in sound/soc/sunxi.
If the modifications in sound/soc drivers involve and require major other changes in different modules (eg dma or clock/timing), then I do not think I'm gonna get the whole of it done, its above me, if on the other hand changes are compartmentalized only to the driver files without any other dependants, then I'll give it a try.
