I compiled full-armbian image for nanopi air.

 

root@nanopiair:~# uname -a

Linux nanopiair 4.19.25-sunxi #5.76 SMP Wed Feb 27 13:46:35 KST 2019 armv7l GNU/Linux

 

and by armbian-config, on armbianEnv.txt

overlays=spdif-out

 

root@nanopiair:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: SPDIF [On-board SPDIF], device 0: spdif-dit-hifi dit-hifi-0 []
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

 

root@nanopiair:~# speaker-test -tway -c2 -Dhw:0

speaker-test 1.1.3

Playback device is hw:0
Stream parameters are 48000Hz, S16_LE, 2 channels
WAV file(s)
Rate set to 48000Hz (requested 48000Hz)
Buffer size range from 128 to 131072
Period size range from 64 to 16384
Using max buffer size 131072
Periods = 4
was set period_size = 16384
was set buffer_size = 131072
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right
Time per period = 0.503481
 0 - Front Left
 1 - Front Right

 

and my dac doesn't detect any signal by coaxial-input.

 

What I can I check?

I've had some success here with the Orange Pi Zero (Allwinner H2+/H3 - same as the Nano Pi Air).

 

I found that the SPDIF output (via optical/TOSLINK or Phono connector) was 'nearly' reaching sync at 44.1khz, almost never at 48khz and nothing beyond that.

 

Digging into the H2+ & H3 datasheets I encountered an important clue on table 8.7.2.2: s_clk needs to be 4x24.576 MHz or 4x22.5782 Mhz. Probably due to how SPDIF is a huge oversample of the audio frequency.

I knocked up a quick patch to sun4i-spdif.c and voila; I get solid sync-locks on all supported frequencies:

 		return -EINVAL;

You can put the above into your ambian/build directory under userpatches/kernel/sunxi-next/0001-spdif-clk-fix.patch or similar and it'll get built as part of the process.

 

I noticed that other chipsets (notably the H5) do not call out this 4x multiplier, so we probably need a more generic fix that chooses the multiplier if it is H2+/H3.

If anyone else needs this patch, I've cleaned it up a little after re-reading the driver. It should only get applied to H3 (and related) devices with this:

hi all!

can you help me with same question, how i can enable onboard SPDIF output from NanoPi neo air with this OS:

uname -a
Linux NanoPi-NEO-Air 4.14.111 #3 SMP Tue Aug 27 16:06:24 CST 2019 armv7l armv7l armv7l GNU/Linux
(default linux  Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS factory image).

You will need to contact driver author(s) or do some tricks like setting the fixed CPU frequency.  Can be done via armbian-config as well. Try lower and higher values.

I've just pinged one of the original authors about getting my patch upstreamed. 

If you want to build it for yourself, you can use the instructions here: https://docs.armbian.com/Developer-Guide_Build-Preparation/

The patch lives in <build_checkout>/userpatches/kernel/sunxi-current/ and assumes that you'll be building with that kernel. I've attached the latest version to this post.

Note: I haven't tested this myself on the NanoPi neo air but Cooldaddy says that it does the trick.

It can take months before patches finds the way into the kernel, so you are welcome to add it here:
