Hi All,

           Iam trying to get the audio up and running on the BF527 EZkit.Am using 2008R1.5 toolchain and kernel.

I have set the switches related to audio with the following configuration

SW4 - OFF ON OFF OFF (MIC Gain Switch )

SW8 - ON OFF OFF ON  (Mic/HP LPBK Audio Mode switch)

SW17 -  ON ON (SPORT0A ENBL switch)

SW19 - OFF ON OFF ON (SPI/TWI switch)

SW20 - ON ON ON ON (SPORT0A ENBL switch)

And i get this in the boot-time message

i2c-bfin-twi i2c-bfin-twi.0: Blackfin BF5xx on-chip I2C TWI Contoller Driver, Version 1.8, regs_base@ffc01400

Advancmd Linux Sound Architecture Driver Version 1.0.12rc1 (Thu$Jun 22 13:55:50 2006 UTC).

ASoC version 0.13.1

dma rx:3 tx:4, err irq:15, regs:ffc00800

ssm2602 Audio Codec 0.1<6>dma_alloc_init: dma_page @ 0x00657000 - 256 pages at 0x01f00000

asoc: SSM2602 <-> bf5xx-i2s-0 mapping ok

ALSA device list:

  #0: bf5xx_ssm2602 (SSM2602)

But when i run tone function, i get this error (errno = 5 stands for IO error i think

root:~> tone -r

TONE: generating ramp wave at 1000 Hz...

ERROR: write(/dev/dsp) failed, errno=5

Any ideas what could be wrong. ?

One more question is

1) How would i change the volume programatically ? Do i use /dev/mixer ? where can i find the doc on ioctl's or any other info on mixer ?

1.I followed your settings and it worked for me.Would you please check  if the switchs are pushed to the  correct position?

2.You can refer to .../uclinux-dist/user/vplay/mixer.c for oss-based controls or ../uclinux-dist/user/blkfin-apps/alsa-utils/amixer

/amixer.c for alsa-based controls.

Hi Cai,

                  Found the issue. It was actually the issue with the I2C address (selectable between 0x1a and 0x1b during kernel configuration). I had to change the i2c address to 0x1b to make it work.

Thanks for the help on the mixer side. will look into the vplay source.
