I am attempting to send audio stripped from captured HDMI input using a Toshiba TC358840 directly to a Cirrus CS4344.
The TC358840 is I2S master while the CS4344 is I2S slave.
Copying the data using a GStreamer pipeline and alsasrc+alsasink works well, but introduces a 40ms delay.
Directly connecting via amixer has no effect
amixer sset 'I2S1 Mux' 'I2S3'
I have searched through the forum but there is no example that matches this apparently simple case.
Hi richardsearle,
How are you configuring Tegra I2S3 in Slave mode?
To configure I2S3 in Slave mode and connect to I2S1, please use below controls:
amixer sset “I2S3 codec master mode” “cbm-cfm”
amixer sset ‘I2S1 Mux’ ‘I2S3’
Kindly attach below register dumps if you still see issues (after setting above controls):
cat “/sys/kernel/debug/regmap/tegra210-i2s.0/registers” for I2S1
cat “/sys/kernel/debug/regmap/tegra210-i2s.2/registers” for I2S3
Thanks,
Sharad
I am using I2S4 (per SW numbering)
I tried setting the audio source into master mode: DT, devmem2 and amixer
sudo devmem2 0x02432030 w 0x00006440
sudo devmem2 0x02432038 w 0x00006450
sudo devmem2 0x02432040 w 0x00006440
sudo devmem2 0x02432048 w 0x00006440
amixer -c 1 cset name='I2S4 codec master mode' 1
amixer -c 1 cset name='I2S4 codec frame mode' 1
The final configuration is then:
sudo grep dap4 /sys/kernel/debug/tegra_pinctrl_reg
Bank: 0 Reg: 0x02432030 Val: 0x00006450 → dap4_fs_pcc3
Bank: 0 Reg: 0x02432038 Val: 0x00006450 → dap4_din_pcc2
Bank: 0 Reg: 0x02432040 Val: 0x00006400 → dap4_dout_pcc1
Bank: 0 Reg: 0x02432048 Val: 0x00006440 → dap4_sclk_pcc0
The commands that work are then
amixer cset -Dhw:1 name=“ADMAIF4 Mux” ‘I2S4’
gst-launch-1.0 alsasrc device=hw:CARD=tegrasndt186ref,DEV=3 ! ‘audio/x-raw, format=S16LE, rate=48000, channels=2’ ! alsasink device=hw:1,0
I tried the commands you referenced, but they fail
$ amixer sset “I2S3 codec master mode” “cbm-cfm”
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device

From register dumps looks like I2S1 and I2S4 both are not enabled. We have few further questions:
Did you get the dump after setting : amixer sset ‘I2S1 Mux’ ‘I2S4’ ?
What is the capture/playback data configuration for I2S1 and I2S4? is it 48K, 16bit, 2ch for both?
This usecase requires extra control setting/BSP change and we are in process of checking it at our end. We shall get back as soon as we have an update.
[Working on a remote setup is making things difficult. Please expect some delay.]
The dump was before the amixer setup (as memory serves).
I will reconfirm
The configuration is intended to be 48K, 16bit, 2ch for both.
Can you clarify this failure?
$ amixer sset “I2S3 codec master mode” “cbm-cfm”
amixer: Mixer attach default error: No such device
All the amixer sset commands fail.
Device is running R32.3.1
I currently have very limited access to the test hardware for the next 2-3 weeks.
Thanks for the quick response.
I explicitly set all the configurations that appear relevant on I2S1 and I2S4.

Hi richardsearle,
Sorry for the delay. We were testing the scenario on our setup remotely and hence the delay.
As we understand, you are trying to loopback I2S4 data to I2S1. This can be achieved by a simple DT change along with setting up the path via mixer controls as below:
Please modify DT as ber below patch: Configure I2S4 as sync clock for I2S1
tegra186-soc-base.dtsi.txt (1.7 KB)
Build, Flash and Reboot
Set controls to configure I2S1 and I2S4
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S1 codec master mode” “cbs-cfs”
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S1 codec frame mode” “i2s”
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S4 fsync width” “31”
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S4 BCLK Ratio” “1”
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S4 codec master mode” “cbm-cfm”
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S4 codec frame mode” “i2s”
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S1 Mux” “I2S4”
This will enable I2S4 to I2S1 loopback within Tegra. Since I2S1 is using I2S4 as sync clock, no need to set anything else. Please try it at your end and share your observations.
Thanks,
Sharad
Looks like some formatting error in the given command, as copy pasting the commands on target giving below error.
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S1 codec master mode” “cbs-cfs”
amixer: Cannot find the given element from control hw:1
Richardsearle,
Please correct the formatting error by using double/single quote.
The amixer commands matched my requirements:
However the dtsi patch has the reverse.
Considering Tegra I2S4 operating as Slave and Tegra I2S1 configured as Master
Is that simply an error in the comment?
No, There is no error.
Considering Tegra I2S4 operating as Slave and Tegra I2S1 configured as Master, this involves two different clock domains by default, which may lead to glitches incase there are drifts in clock sources (Tegra PLLA and Toshiba). And hence, it’s recommended to have single source for clocks for both I2S transactions.
Toshiba TC358840 chip is configured as master, which is connected to I2S4 (slave mode), it should drive I2S1 as well. Hence I2S1 is configured to use I2S4 as sync clock which is actually generate by Toshiba chip in your case. This clock is used by I2S1 (in master mode) for audio data transfer to Cirrus CS4344. Hope things are clear now.
Thanks,
Sharad
Thanks for clarification. I was thinking of I2Sn as the connected device rather than the TX2i port.
amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S1 Mux” “I2S4”
Has no effect. The sound is not heard on I2S1 output.
I confirmed the DTB was updated and noticed an oddity:
I2S1 == i2s@2901000
BEFORE PATCH
assigned-clock-parents = <0x10 0xf6>;
assigned-clocks = <0x10 0x4f>;
AFTER PATCH
assigned-clock-parents = <0x10 0xf7 0x10 0x26c>;
assigned-clocks = <0x10 0x4f 0x10 0xf7>;
i.e. there are now 4 clocks rather than 2.
I could not find any other dts entries that assign clocks to I2S1.
There are clocks specified under tegra_sound in platform/t18x/common/kernel-dts/t18x-common-platforms/tegra186-quill-common.dtsi
I determined a gstreamer pipeline must run to output sound.
But that pipeline does not need to actually do anything
The following has a source that generates silence!
gst-launch-1.0 -e audiotestsrc wave=silence num-buffers=10000 ! 'audio/x-raw, format=S16LE, rate=48000, channels=2' ! queue ! alsasink device=hw:1,0
Obviously one clock for normal DT and two clocks for the modified DT.
gstreamer is presumably enabling the I2S1, which can then generate output directly from I2S4. That is actually quite acceptable.
I am still seeing some form of clock sync problem.
Stopping and restarting gstreamer will sometimes cause the D/A to generate a stuttering noise.
I tried replacing the TEGRA186_CLK_PLL_A_OUT0 under clocks with TEGRA186_CLK_I2S4_SYNC_INPUT, but that had no effect
Ideally I2S1 should get enabled immediately after setting “amixer -c 1 cset name=“I2S1 Mux” “I2S4””. We need your help in debugging/fixing this issue on your HW.
Can you follow the steps again as mentioned in comment above and dump below logs/registers immediately after that (please don’t run gstreamer on I2S1)?
cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary
cat /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/tegra210-i2s.0/registers
cat /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/tegra210-i2s.3/registers
dmesg
Now Trigger gstreamer and dump below logs again:
cat /sys/kernel/debug/clk/clk_summary
cat /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/tegra210-i2s.0/registers
cat /sys/kernel/debug/regmap/tegra210-i2s.3/registers
Kindly share all logs as per the sequence mentioned above.
Thanks,
Sharad
The attached initial.txt is after running your commands and before runing gst.
gst.txt is the state while gstreamer is running.
The gstreamer command is
gst-launch-1.0 -e audiotestsrc wave=silence ! ‘audio/x-raw, format=S16LE, rate=48000, channels=2’ ! queue ! alsasink device=hw:1,0
The difference between the two files is

Hi richardsearle,
From the logs looks like you are using AUD_MCLK in your design. Which is not enabled without running gstreamer. Could you please try enabling it through console with below command before setting controls for I2S1 and I2S4 (details in the comment) :
echo 1 > /sys/kernel/debug/bpmp/debug/clk/aud_mclk/state
This will force enable AUD_MCLK and should resolve playback issue. Rest all looks fine.
Thanks,
Sharad
That solved the problem.
It also eliminated an intermittent problem where the D/A would not cleanly synchronize when the stream started.
Thank you for the information
Turns out the DT patch: Configure I2S4 as sync clock for I2S1
Is not needed
We still recommend using the DT patch to configure I2S4 as sync clock for I2S1. There could be glitches if I2S1 and I2S4 are operating with different clock sources.
