9 /* The userspace interface for the Audio & Music Data Transmission
10 * Protocol driver is really simple. First, open /dev/amdtp, use the
11 * ioctl to configure format, rate, dimension and either plug or
12 * channel, then start writing samples.
14 * The formats supported by the driver are listed below.
15 * AMDTP_FORMAT_RAW corresponds to the AM824 raw format, which can
16 * carry any number of channels, so use this if you're streaming
17 * multichannel audio. The AMDTP_FORMAT_IEC958_PCM corresponds to the
18 * AM824 IEC958 encapsulation without the IEC958 data bit set, using
19 * AMDTP_FORMAT_IEC958_AC3 will transmit the samples with the data bit
20 * set, suitable for transmitting compressed AC-3 audio.
22 * The rate field specifies the transmission rate; supported values
23 * are 32000, 44100, 48000, 88200, 96000, 176400 and 192000.
25 * The dimension field specifies the dimension of the signal, that is,
26 * the number of audio channels. Only AMDTP_FORMAT_RAW supports
27 * settings greater than 2.
29 * The mode field specifies which transmission mode to use. The AMDTP
30 * specifies two different transmission modes: blocking and
31 * non-blocking. The blocking transmission mode always send a fixed
32 * number of samples, typically 8, 16 or 32. To exactly match the
33 * transmission rate, the driver alternates between sending empty and
34 * non-empty packets. In non-blocking mode, the driver transmits as
35 * small packets as possible. For example, for a transmission rate of
36 * 44100Hz, the driver should send 5 41/80 samples in every cycle, but
37 * this is not possible so instead the driver alternates between
38 * sending 5 and 6 samples.
40 * The last thing to specify is either the isochronous channel to use
41 * or the output plug to connect to. If you know what channel the
42 * destination device will listen on, you can specify the channel
43 * directly and use the AMDTP_IOC_CHANNEL ioctl. However, if the
44 * destination device chooses the channel and uses the IEC61883-1 plug
45 * mechanism, you can specify an output plug to connect to. The
46 * driver will pick up the channel number from the plug once the
47 * destination device locks the output plug control register. In this
48 * case set the plug field and use the AMDTP_IOC_PLUG ioctl.
50 * Having configured the interface, the driver now accepts writes of
51 * regular 16 bit signed little endian samples, with the channels
52 * interleaved. For example, 4 channels would look like:
54 * | sample 0 | sample 1 ...
55 * | ch. 0 | ch. 1 | ch. 2 | ch. 3 | ch. 0 | ...
56 * | lsb | msb | lsb | msb | lsb | msb | lsb | msb | lsb | msb | ...
