7 Renesas R-Car and RZ/G sound is constructed from below modules
10 SCU : Sampling Rate Converter Unit
11 - SRC : Sampling Rate Converter
13 - CTU : Channel Transfer Unit
15 - DVC : Digital Volume and Mute Function
16 SSIU : Serial Sound Interface Unit
17 SSI : Serial Sound Interface
19 See detail of each module's channels, connection, limitation on datasheet
21 =============================================
23 =============================================
25 Multi channel is supported by Multi-SSI, or TDM-SSI.
27 Multi-SSI : 6ch case, you can use stereo x 3 SSI
28 TDM-SSI : 6ch case, you can use TDM
30 =============================================
31 * Enable/Disable each modules
32 =============================================
34 See datasheet to check SRC/CTU/MIX/DVC connect-limitation.
35 DT controls enabling/disabling module.
36 ${LINUX}/arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7790-lager.dts can be good example.
39 Playback: [MEM] -> [SRC2] -> [DVC0] -> [SSIU0/SSI0] -> [codec]
40 Capture: [MEM] <- [DVC1] <- [SRC3] <- [SSIU1/SSI1] <- [codec]
42 see "Example: simple sound card"
45 ${LINUX}/arch/arm/boot/dts/r8a7790.dts can be good example.

58 =============================================
59 * SRC (Sampling Rate Converter)
60 =============================================
65 SRC can convert [xx]Hz to [yy]Hz. Then, it has below 2 modes
67 Asynchronous mode: input data / output data are based on different clocks.
68 you can use this mode on Playback / Capture
69 Synchronous mode: input data / output data are based on same clocks.
70 This mode will be used if system doesn't have its input clock,
71 for example digital TV case.
72 you can use this mode on Playback
78 You need to use "simple-scu-audio-card" or "audio-graph-scu-card" for it.
79 see "Example: simple sound card for Asynchronous mode"

90 =============================================
91 * CTU (Channel Transfer Unit)
92 =============================================
95 ------> [CTU] -------->
97 CTU can convert [xx]ch to [yy]ch, or exchange outputted channel.
98 CTU conversion needs matrix settings.

140 MIX merges 2 sounds path. You can see 2 sound interface on system,
141 and these sounds will be merged by MIX.

154 =============================================
155 * DVC (Digital Volume and Mute Function)
156 =============================================
158 DVC controls Playback/Capture volume.

164 amixer set "DVC In" 100%
167 amixer set "DVC Out Mute" on
170 amixer set "DVC In Mute" on

174 amixer set "DVC Out Ramp Down Rate" "0.125 dB/512 steps"
175 amixer set "DVC Out Ramp" on
177 amixer set "DVC Out" 80% // Volume Down
178 amixer set "DVC Out" 100% // Volume Up
180 =============================================
181 * SSIU (Serial Sound Interface Unit)
182 =============================================
184 SSIU can avoid some under/over run error, because it has some buffer.
185 But you can't use it if SSI was PIO mode.
186 In DMA mode, you can select not to use SSIU by using "no-busif" via SSI.
188 SSIU handles BUSIF which will be used for TDM Split mode.
189 This driver is assuming that audio-graph card will be used.
191 TDM Split mode merges 4 sounds. You can see 4 sound interface on system,
192 and these sounds will be merged SSIU/SSI.

202 [MEM] -> [SSIU 31] -+
204 [MEM] -> [SSIU 32] -+
206 [MEM] -> [SSIU 33] -+
208 see "Example: simple sound card for TDM Split"
210 =============================================
211 * SSI (Serial Sound Interface)
212 =============================================
216 You can use PIO mode which is for connection check by using.
217 Note: The system will drop non-SSI modules in PIO mode
218 even though if DT is selecting other modules.
224 ** DMA mode without SSIU
226 You can use DMA without SSIU.
227 Note: under/over run, or noise are likely to occur
235 Each SSI can share WS pin. It is based on platform.
236 This is example if SSI1 want to share WS pin with SSI0
244 You can use Multi-SSI.
245 This is example of SSI0/SSI1/SSI2 (= for 6ch)
247 see "Example: simple sound card for Multi channel"
251 You can use TDM with SSI.
252 This is example of TDM 6ch.
253 Driver can automatically switches TDM <-> stereo mode in this case.
255 see "Example: simple sound card for TDM"
