hdsp driver and tools update

hdsp driver and tools update

[Thomas Charbonnel]

Hi,

I apologize for having been so silent the last few weeks, I was in the
process of moving from Lyon, France to Berlin, Germany. This is now done,
and I resumed my work on the hdsp driver and tools.
Latest patches and tools can be found here :
http://www.undata.org/~thomas/
Mojor changes include support for hdsp 9632 cards and bugfixes for hdsp
9652 cards.
Hdspconf and hdspmixer now support 96xx cards, though this needs testing
as I do not have the hardware.

People testing this should remove their asound.state file from the way
because the number or numid of ctls may have change.

Takashi, I noticed that though it's been in cvs for some time now,
hdspconf is still not included in alsa-tools releases, is there a reason
for this ?

Thomas

Hi Thomas,
   Welcome back, and thanks for all the efforts. Your work has been so
helpful in getting my system running. It wouldn't be running without
you. 

   I really look forward to getting all of this into CVS and no longer
having to do patches!

   Thanks again.

Cheers,
Mark

Re: hdsp driver and tools update

[Roslyn Hoskin]

Hello all,

I'm a friend of Nick Arnold who has previously posted to the alsa -devel 
regarding problems with the hdsp9652 card. I am using the same system as 
him.

Whereby we are running

RME Hammerfall HDSP 9652 card working
> with ALSA 0.9.8 on a SMP redhat 9 box.  We're trying to use 12 input
> channels and three output channels, running at 48Khz 

and interleaving our the channels in our code to run at 96kHz. we are 
syncing against an external word clock. and the system clock needs to be 
set as a slave

I'm trying to get the card to run at 96 kHz with the sample sync source  
(using the 0.9.8 driver and thomas patches and hdpsconf and hdspmixer).

When i change to autosync running @ 96kHz the system source clock 
changes to master and the card will not open.
below is the error I get?

.ALSA lib pcm_hw.c:324:(snd_pcm_hw_hw_params) SNDRV_PCM_IOCTL_HW_PARAMS 
failed: Operation not permitted
ACCESS:  MMAP_NONINTERLEAVED
FORMAT:  S32_LE
SUBFORMAT:  STD
SAMPLE_BITS: 32
FRAME_BITS: 448
CHANNELS: 14
RATE: NONE
PERIOD_TIME: (85333 85334)
PERIOD_SIZE: 8192
PERIOD_BYTES: 458752
PERIODS: 2
BUFFER_TIME: (170666 170667)
BUFFER_SIZE: 16384
BUFFER_BYTES: 917504
TICK_TIME: 10000

When I changed to autosync @ 96 kHz the hdspmixer shows 26 input 
channels and not 14?


When I change to internal 96kHz the hdspmixer shows 14 channels but the 
sync check on ADAT1 In, ADAT2 In, ADAT3 IN and WordClock change from 
Sync to lock and vice versa constanty.


Any Help on this would be great??

Thomas the hdspconf looks great, much easier to use than amixer!!! 
Thankyou and thanks also for the Patches!!

Thanks
Roslyn Hoskin

thanks, i'll try to merge later.
is the patch against to cvs or 0.9.8?

it was mistakenly not included in the tarball.
this should have been fixed.

Here is how things are supposed to work :
You have the choice between AutoSync mode and Internal clock modes. For
the card to successfully switch to AutoSync mode there must be a valid
clock source in the range of the speed mode you're using, that is SR <=
48000 for normal mode and SR > 48000 for double speed mode. So if the card
is set up on Internal 44.1 kHz and you want to sync on a 96 kHz external
clock, you first have to manually switch to Internal 96 kHz, make sure you
have a valid 96 kHz external clock signal, and then you can switch to
AutoSync.
The constant switch between Sync and Lock your describing is caused by
slight skewing between the external and internal clocks.

Thanks very much, this fixes hdsp9652 matrix mixer and it appears to be
working perfectly. hdspmixer appears to work on a quick test with 9652.
Excellent work.

(tested with todays cvs alsa).

thanks very much

Re: hdsp driver and tools update

[Winfried Ritsch]

Hello,

 Thanx for the work, just 2 cosmetic questions:

 (just testing and comparing HDSP9552 /HDSP9632  and HDSP-MADI on
 function, so I fall over these:)
 


  I have a questions to the patch:

  1)
     +#define H9632_SS_CHANNELS	 12
     +#define H9632_DS_CHANNELS	 8
     +#define H9632_QS_CHANNELS	 4
 
    I always thought the HDSP96 can use 16 channels in Single speed
     since you can use 
      adat (8) + analog (2) + spdif (2) + optional 4 channels expansion
     at the same time.
  

 2) different IOextents on different cards 

     +#define HDSP_IO_EXTENT     7168

    maybe its safer to use
  
    io_extent= pci_resource_len(pci,0);

    (in the hdsp_createfunction instead of giving a fix one.)


 3) should we change the the hw_params so that only needed channels are
    enabled (and change the ruleset to it) ?

It is the case. You seem to have missed the comment just above those 
lines stating that extension boards were checked for at initialization time.

This is not essential for non-madi cards, but if this results in a 
performance enhancement, maybe we should backport your work to the 
non-madi driver. On the other hand how would you handle the capture side 
of this ? As you mentioned in an earlier post, during playback as few as 
one channel can be used and still, thanks to the matrix mixer, any 
physical output can send the signal. For recording this is a problem 
because capture channels are hardwired to physical inputs. How would you 
choose the recording channel ?

i applied patches and updated hdsp* stuffs in alsa-tools now.
please check later if it's ok for you.

It's against cvs from a few days. The only differences with 0.9.8 were 1
liners IIRC, so the patch should apply to both, I think.
