Overview - -Intel's IXP2000 family of NPUs (IXP2400, IXP2800, IXP2850) is designed -for high-performance network applications such high-availability -telecom systems. In addition to an XScale core, it contains up to 8 -"MicroEngines" that run special code, several high-end networking -interfaces (UTOPIA, SPI, etc), a PCI host bridge, one serial port, -flash interface, and some other odds and ends. For more information, see: - -http://developer.intel.com - -2. Linux Support - -Linux currently supports the following features on the IXP2000 NPUs: - -- On-chip serial -- PCI -- Flash (MTD/JFFS2) -- I2C through GPIO -- Timers (watchdog, OS) - -That is about all we can support under Linux ATM b/c the core networking -components of the chip are accessed via Intel's closed source SDK. -Please contact Intel directly on issues with using those. There is -also a mailing list run by some folks at Princeton University that might -be of help: https://lists.cs.princeton.edu/mailman/listinfo/ixp2xxx - -WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT POST EMAIL TO THE LINUX-ARM OR LINUX-ARM-KERNEL -MAILING LISTS REGARDING THE INTEL SDK. - -3.

Usage Notes - -- The IXP2000 platforms usually have rather complex PCI bus topologies - with large memory space requirements. In addition, b/c of the way the - Intel SDK is designed, devices are enumerated in a very specific - way. B/c of this this, we use "pci=firmware" option in the kernel - command line so that we do not re-enumerate the bus. - -- IXDP2x01 systems have variable clock tick rates that we cannot determine - via HW registers. The "ixdp2x01_clk=XXX" cmd line options allow you - to pass the clock rate to the board port. - -5.

The audio_disable function performs the reverse operation and is +intended to be called after audio_stop. + +While a given DSS device driver may support audio, it is possible that for +certain configurations audio is not supported (e.g., an HDMI display using a +VESA video timing). The audio_supported function is intended to query whether +the current configuration of the display supports audio. + +The audio_config function is intended to configure all the relevant audio +parameters of the display. In order to make the function independent of any +specific DSS device driver, a struct omap_dss_audio is defined. Its purpose +is to contain all the required parameters for audio configuration. At the +moment, such structure contains pointers to IEC-60958 channel status word +and CEA-861 audio infoframe structures. This should be enough to support +HDMI and DisplayPort, as both are based on CEA-861 and IEC-60958. + +The audio_enable/disable, audio_config and audio_supported functions could be +implemented as functions that may sleep. Hence, they should not be called +while holding a spinlock or a readlock. + +The audio_start/audio_stop function is intended to effectively start/stop audio +playback after the configuration has taken place. These functions are designed +to be used in an atomic context. Hence, audio_start should return quickly and be +called only after all the needed resources for audio playback (audio FIFOs, +DMA channels, companion chips, etc) have been enabled to begin data transfers. +audio_stop is designed to only stop the audio transfers. The resources used +for playback are released using audio_disable. + +The enum omap_dss_audio_state may be used to help the implementations of +the interface to keep track of the audio state.
