No I2S on Lime2 (kernel 4.14.14)

Recommended Posts

Hi Guys,

After a long time after the release Linux kernel 4.x I want use the I2S on Lime2 (Armbian Stretch kernel 4.14.14), but I2S interface did not work.

I was add activation of overlays i2s0 and i2s1 into/boot/armbianEnv.txt

root@lime2:~# cat /boot/armbianEnv.txt
verbosity=1
logo=disabled
console=both
disp_mode=1920x1080p60
overlay_prefix=sun7i-a20
rootdev=UUID=dcf7af80-8026-4e99-870f-f0d35f926063
rootfstype=ext4
overlays=i2s0 i2s1
usbstoragequirks=0x2537:0x1066:u,0x2537:0x1068:u

After reboot I can't see I2S interfaces...

root@lime2:~# aplay -l
aplay: device_list:270: no soundcards found...
	
root@lime2:~# lsmod | grep snd
snd_soc_core          118784  1 sun4i_i2s

I2S really supported in Mainline on A20?

Do you have I2S overlays in /boot/dtb/overlay ?

I was think I2S overlays present by default.

How can I set up I2S overlay?


Me too and ATM I don't know why they are not present.

In the overlay file sun7i-a20-i2s0.dtbo after decompilation I see only pin definitions.

How I can see, PB5-PB12 pins defined only like GPIO.

For I2S work need more interface specific definitions.

I2S work on other A20 based boards?

        compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20";

                        i2s0 {

                                pinctrl-0 = <0x0>;
                        };
                };
        };
};

 

UPD

Got problem with DTS file compilation.
Of course, Linux header are success installed from armbian-config -> software

armbian-add-overlay sun7i-a20-i2s0a.dts
Kernel headers are not installed properly. Please install the kernel headers package

Hello,

 

I've been searching for the last couple of days to get I2S audio working on my Olimex A20-SOM-EVB. I've tried
many options but without luck. Let me describe the setup:

 

Hardware

 

I have the Olimex A20-SOM-EVB and the  MikroElektronika Audio Codec Board - PROTO and I've connected these
two boards according to the following connection table:

 

A20 SoC PIN I2S signal name I2S Signal description WM8731 PIN
PB5 MCLK Master clock (not connected)  
PB6 BCLK Bit clock BCLK
PB7 LRCK Frame sync (switch between L and R) DACL
PB8 DOUT0 Data output 0 DACDAT
PB12 DIN Data input ADCDAT

 

I also connected the I2C SCL and SDA lines to the I2C0 bus through the UEXT2 connector of the board.

 

Software

 

I've downloaded the latest Armbian, currently running kernel 4.19.13-sunxi and compiled
the image from scratch. I've included the sunxi-i2s driver in the kernel configuration and I

also made sure to select the WM8731 codec driver. As the A20-SOM-EVB is not in the supported
devices list I'm using the LIME2 board as this is the only board with matching ethernet
configuration.

 

The image boots fine but at this point there is no audio card and no '/dev/i2s' device. Therefore
I've created the following dts overlay files:


sun7i-a20-i2s0.dts:

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
	compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20";

	fragment@0 {
		target = <&pio>;
		__overlay__ {
			i2s0_pins: i2s0 {
				pins = "PB5", "PB6", "PB7", "PB8", "PB9", "PB10", "PB11", "PB12";
				function = "i2s0";
			};
		};
	};

	fragment@1 {
		target = <&i2s0>;
		__overlay__ {
			pinctrl-names = "default";
			pinctrl-0 = <&i2s0_pins>;
			status = "okay";
		};
	};
};

 

sun7i-a20-i2c1.dts:

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
	compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20";

	fragment@0 {
		target-path = "/aliases";
		__overlay__ {
			i2c1 = "/soc@01c00000/i2c@01c2b000";
		};
	};

	fragment@1 {
		target = <&i2c1>;
		__overlay__ {
			pinctrl-names = "default";
			pinctrl-0 = <&i2c1_pins_a>;
			status = "okay";

			wm8731@1a {
				#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
				compatible = "wlf,wm8731";
				reg = <0x1a>;
				status = "okay";
			};
		};
	};
};


sound.dts:

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
	compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20";

	fragment@0 {
		target-path = "/";
		__overlay__ {
			wm8731: wm8731 {
				#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
				compatible = "wlf,wm8731";
				status = "okay";
			};
		};
	};

	fragment@1 {
		target-path = "/";
		__overlay__ {
			sound {
				compatible = "simple-audio-card";
				simple-audio-card,format = "i2s";
				simple-audio-card,cpu {
					sound-dai = <&i2s0>;
				};
 
				simple-audio-card,codec {
					sound-dai = <&wm8731>;
				};
			};  
		};
	};
};

 

I then compiled these 3 dts overlay files with 'armbian-add-overlay'. These files are now correctly
added by uboot as can be seen in the boot log:

Boot script loaded from mmc
252 bytes read in 10 ms (24.4 KiB/s)

The I2C bus and WM8731 driver appears to be working, this is the relevant dmesg output:

[    8.264826] wm8731 1-001a: Assuming static MCLK
[    8.264869] wm8731 1-001a: 1-001a supply AVDD not found, using dummy regulator

[    8.265133] wm8731 1-001a: 1-001a supply DBVDD not found, using dummy regulator


But after all this work there is still no i2s device and no sound card in aplay -l. What am I missing,
can anybody point me in the right direction? Any help would be much appreciated.

 

As a reference this is the output of 'armbianmonitor -u': http://ix.io/1yun

Kind regards,
Daan

I've been working further but still no sound card :( I'm now using a single overlay file:

/dts-v1/;
/plugin/;

/ {
	compatible = "allwinner,sun7i-a20";

	fragment@0 {
		target-path = "/aliases";
		__overlay__ {
			i2c1 = "/soc@01c00000/i2c@01c2b000";
			i2s0 = "/soc@01c00000/i2s@01c22400";
		};
	};

	fragment@1 {
		target = <&i2c1>;
		__overlay__ {
			pinctrl-names = "default";
			pinctrl-0 = <&i2c1_pins_a>;
			status = "okay";

			wm8731@1a {
				#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
				compatible = "wlf,wm8731";
				reg = <0x1a>;
				status = "okay";
			};
		};
	};

	fragment@2 { 
		target-path = "/"; 
		__overlay__ { 
			wm8731: wm8731 {
				#sound-dai-cells = <0>;
				compatible = "wlf,wm8731";
				status = "okay";
			};
		}; 
	}; 

        fragment@3 {
		target = <&pio>;
		__overlay__ {
			i2s0_pins: i2s0 {
				pins = "PB5", "PB6", "PB7", "PB8", "PB9", "PB10", "PB11", "PB12";
				function = "i2s0";
			};
		};
	};

	fragment@4 {
		target = <&i2s0>;
		__overlay__ {
			status = "okay";
			pinctrl-0 = <&i2s0_pins>;
			sound-dai = <&wm8731>;
			pinctrl-names = "default";
		};
	};

	fragment@5 {
		target-path = "/";
		__overlay__ {
			sound {
				compatible = "simple-audio-card";
				simple-audio-card,name = "I2S-master";
				simple-audio-card,format = "i2s";
		                status = "okay";
				simple-audio-card,widgets =
					"Headphone", "Headphone Jack",
					"Microphone", "Microphone Jack",
					"Line", "Line Jack";
				simple-audio-card,routing =
					"Headphone Jack", "RHPOUT",
					"Headphone Jack", "LHPOUT",
					"LLINEIN", "Line Jack",
					"MICIN", "Mic Bias",
					"Mic Bias", "Microphone Jack";

				simple-audio-card,cpu {
					sound-dai = <&i2s0>;
				};

				simple-audio-card,codec {
					sound-dai = <&wm8731>;
				};
			};
		};
	};
};

 

And lsmod is showing me the correct modules (I think):

Has anybody been able to get I2S to work?

Hi,

Thank you for the answer. I'm surely willing to do this together. For now I don't know if it's a driver problem or a device tree file problem. 

 

The next step for me is checking if the register addresses in the DTS file for I2S are correct. 

 

I also can't find any reports of anyone with a working I2S in a kernel not using fex files.

 

Kind regards,

Daan
