Sure thing, attached is the resulting debug information. Thank you again for the help with this!

Hi John,

I don’t see a route between the I2S and the codec, can you try adding the routes …

	nvidia,audio-routing =
		"x Headphone",	"x HPLOUT",
		"x Left Playback",	"x Playback",
		"x Right Playback", "x Playback",
		"x MIC3L",		"x Mic",
		"x Capture",		"x Left Capture",
		"x Capture",		"x Right Capture",
		"y Headphone",	"y HPROUT",
		"y MIC3R",		"y Mic",
		"a LINE1L",		"a Line In",
		"b LINE1R",		"b Line In";

This time when you run the trace can you also add …

$ echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace
$ echo 0 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/enable
$ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/tracing_on
$ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/asoc/snd_soc_dapm_path/enable
$ echo 1 | sudo tee /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/events/asoc/snd_soc_dapm_widget_power/enable
$ aplay ...
$ sudo cat /sys/kernel/debug/tracing/trace

Regards,
Jon

I got a few errors in dmesg after updating the audio-routing as you suggested:

Hi John,

Yes, that won’t work. Can you try …

	nvidia,audio-routing =
		"x Headphone",	"x HPLOUT",
		"x Left DAC",	"x Playback",
		"x Right DAC", "x Playback",
		"x MIC3L",		"x Mic",
		"x Capture",		"x Left ADC",
		"x Capture",		"x Right ADC",
		"y Headphone",	"y HPROUT",
		"y MIC3R",		"y Mic",
		"a LINE1L",		"a Line In",
		"b LINE1R",		"b Line In";

Sorry it is a bit trial and error.

Regards,
Jon

Hi john.c

Have you tried with previous suggestions? Any result can be shared? Thanks

Hello,

I am trying to connect the pcm3010 audio codec to our custom carrier board.
Can you tell me what process is required?

First of all, you only need to do up to ① of the contents mentioned.

29

Hello,

Your writing is very helpful.
Where can I find tegra210-porg-p3448-common.dtsi?

Thank you.

30

Hello,

sudo /opt/nvidia/jetson-io/jetson-io.py What is the difference between using this tool and modifying tegra210-porg-p3448-common.dtsi directly?

Thank you.

31

Hello!

The process is described here …

Hello,

In which file should the codec node be located?

Hello!

The jetson-io tool is used for configuring the pinmux of the 40-pin header and also includes some DT overlays for some off the shelf modules such as the FE-PI Audio Z V2 board [0]. So this avoids having to modify the DT source directly for using certain modules. If you have experience at modifying DT and have a good understanding of the Linux audio framework then you can always customise the DT and kernel as necessary for your audio codec. However, this is not a simple task and not recommended for people just getting started with the Linux kernel.

Regards,
Jon

Hello,

Jetson Nano:

hardware/nvidia/platform/t210/porg/kernel-dts/tegra210-porg-p3448-common.dtsi

Is that right?

Thank you .

36

Hello,

I know that using the jetson-io.py tool will result in DT overlays files.
Where should the DT overlays files be placed?

Thank you.

37

The jetson-io tool can generate DTBs or DTBOs. If you want to create a custom overlay please refer to the documentation.
