+ASoC currently supports the three main Digital Audio Interfaces (DAI) found on
+SoC controllers and portable audio CODECS today, namely AC97, I2S and PCM.
+
+
+AC97
+====
+
+ AC97 is a five wire interface commonly found on many PC sound cards. It is
+now also popular in many portable devices. This DAI has a reset line and time
+multiplexes its data on its SDATA_OUT (playback) and SDATA_IN (capture) lines.
+The bit clock (BCLK) is always driven by the CODEC (usually 12.288MHz) and the
+frame (FRAME) (usually 48kHz) is always driven by the controller. Each AC97
+frame is 21uS long and is divided into 13 time slots.
+
+The AC97 specification can be found at http://intel.com/
+
+
+I2S
+===
+
+ I2S is a common 4 wire DAI used in HiFi, STB and portable devices. The Tx and
+Rx lines are used for audio transmision, whilst the bit clock (BCLK) and
+left/right clock (LRC) synchronise the link. I2S is flexible in that either the
+controller or CODEC can drive (master) the BCLK and LRC clock lines. Bit clock
+usually varies depending on the sample rate and the master system clock
+(SYSCLK). LRCLK is the same as the sample rate. A few devices support separate
+ADC and DAC LRCLK's, this allows for similtanious capture and playback at
+different sample rates.
+
+I2S has several different operating modes:-
+
+ o I2S - MSB is transmitted on the falling edge of the first BCLK after LRC
+ transition.
+
+ o Left Justified - MSB is transmitted on transition of LRC.
+
+ o Right Justified - MSB is transmitted sample size BCLK's before LRC
+ transition.
+
+PCM
+===
+
+PCM is another 4 wire interface, very similar to I2S, that can support a more
+flexible protocol. It has bit clock (BCLK) and sync (SYNC) lines that are used
+to synchronise the link whilst the Tx and Rx lines are used to transmit and
+receive the audio data. Bit clock usually varies depending on sample rate
+whilst sync runs at the sample rate. PCM also supports Time Division
+Multiplexing (TDM) in that several devices can use the bus similtaniuosly (This
+is sometimes referred to as network mode).
+
+Common PCM operating modes:-
+
+ o Mode A - MSB is transmitted on falling edge of first BCLK after FRAME/SYNC.
+
+ o Mode B - MSB is transmitted on rising edge of FRAME/SYNC.
+
+
+ASoC DAI Configuration
+======================
+
+Every CODEC DAI and SoC DAI must have their capabilities defined in order to
+be configured together at runtime when the audio and clocking parameters are
+known. This is achieved by creating an array of struct snd_soc_hw_mode in the
+the CODEC and SoC interface drivers. Each element in the array describes a DAI
+mode and each mode is usually based upon the DAI system clock to sample rate
+ratio (FS).
+
+i.e. 48k sample rate @ 256 FS = sytem clock of 12.288 MHz
+ 48000 * 256 = 12288000
+
+The CPU and Codec DAI modes are then ANDed together at runtime to determine the
+rutime DAI configuration for both the Codec and CPU.
+
+When creating a new codec or SoC DAI it's probably best to start of with a few
+sample rates first and then test your interface.
+
+struct snd_soc_dai_mode is defined (in soc.h) as:-
+
+/* SoC DAI mode */
+struct snd_soc_hw_mode {
+ unsigned int fmt:16; /* SND_SOC_DAIFMT_* */
+ unsigned int tdm:16; /* SND_SOC_DAITDM_* */
+ unsigned int pcmfmt:6; /* SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_* */
+ unsigned int pcmrate:16; /* SND_SOC_DAIRATE_* */
+ unsigned int pcmdir:2; /* SND_SOC_DAIDIR_* */
+ unsigned int flags:8; /* hw flags */
+ unsigned int fs:32; /* mclk to rate dividers */
+ unsigned int bfs:16; /* mclk to bclk dividers */
+ unsigned long priv; /* private mode data */
+};
+
+fmt:
+----
+This field defines the DAI mode hardware format (e.g. I2S settings) and
+supports the following settings:-
+
+ 1) hardware DAI formats
+
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_I2S (1 << 0) /* I2S mode */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_RIGHT_J (1 << 1) /* Right justified mode */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_LEFT_J (1 << 2) /* Left Justified mode */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_DSP_A (1 << 3) /* L data msb after FRM */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_DSP_B (1 << 4) /* L data msb during FRM */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_AC97 (1 << 5) /* AC97 */
+
+ 2) hw DAI signal inversions
+
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_NF (1 << 8) /* normal bit clock + frame */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_IF (1 << 9) /* normal bclk + inv frm */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_IB_NF (1 << 10) /* invert bclk + nor frm */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_IB_IF (1 << 11) /* invert bclk + frm */
+
+ 3) hw clock masters
+ This is wrt the codec, the inverse is true for the interface
+ i.e. if the codec is clk and frm master then the interface is
+ clk and frame slave.
+
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFM (1 << 12) /* codec clk & frm master */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBS_CFM (1 << 13) /* codec clk slave & frm master */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFS (1 << 14) /* codec clk master & frame slave */
+#define SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBS_CFS (1 << 15) /* codec clk & frm slave */
+
+At least one option from each section must be selected. Multiple selections are
+also supported e.g.
+
+ .fmt = SND_SOC_DAIFMT_I2S | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_LEFT_J | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_RIGHT_J | \
+ SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_NF | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_NB_IF | SND_SOC_DAIFMT_IB_NF | \
+ SND_SOC_DAIFMT_IB_IF
+
+
+tdm:
+------
+This field defines the Time Division Multiplexing left and right word
+positions for the DAI mode if applicable. Set to SND_SOC_DAITDM_LRDW(0,0) for
+no TDM.
+
+
+pcmfmt:
+---------
+The hardware PCM format. This describes the PCM formats supported by the DAI
+mode e.g.
+
+ .hwpcmfmt = SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S16_LE | SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S20_3LE | \
+ SNDRV_PCM_FORMAT_S24_3LE
+
+pcmrate:
+----------
+The PCM sample rates supported by the DAI mode. e.g.
+
+ .hwpcmrate = SNDRV_PCM_RATE_8000 | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_11025 | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_16000 | \
+ SNDRV_PCM_RATE_22050 | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_32000 | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_44100 | \
+ SNDRV_PCM_RATE_48000 | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_88200 | SNDRV_PCM_RATE_96000
+
+
+pcmdir:
+---------
+The stream directions supported by this mode. e.g. playback and capture
+
+
+flags:
+--------
+The DAI hardware flags supported by the mode.
+
+SND_SOC_DAI_BFS_DIV
+This flag states that bit clock is generated by dividing MCLK in this mode, if
+this flag is absent the bitclock generated by mulitiplying sample rate.
+
+NOTE: Bitclock division and mulitiplication modes can be safely matched by the
+core logic.
+
+
+fs:
+-----
+The FS supported by this DAI mode FS is the ratio between the system clock and
+the sample rate. See above
+
+bfs:
+------
+BFS is the ratio of BCLK to MCLK or the ratio of BCLK to sample rate (this
+depends on the codec or CPU DAI).
+
+The BFS supported by the DAI mode. This can either be the ratio between the
+bitclock (BCLK) and the sample rate OR the ratio between the system clock and
+the sample rate. Depends on the SND_SOC_DAI_BFS_DIV flag above.
+
+priv:
+-----
+private codec mode data.
+
+
+
+Examples
+========
+
+Note that Codec DAI and CPU DAI examples are interchangeable in these examples
+as long as the bus master is reversed. i.e.
+
+ SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBM_CFM would become SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CBS_CFS
+ and vice versa.
+
+This applies to all SND_SOC_DAIFMT_CB*_CF*.
+

+---------

+BCLK of either MCLK/2 or MCLK/4.
