An +audio stream contains one or more channels of data.

No checks for stream transition exist in +SoundWire subsystem. + +Stream State Operations +----------------------- + +Below section explains the operations done by the Bus on Master(s) and +Slave(s) as part of stream state transitions. + +SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Allocation state for stream. This is the entry state +of the stream. Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) A stream runtime is allocated for the stream. This stream + runtime is used as a reference for all the operations performed + on the stream. + + (2) The resources required for holding stream runtime information are + allocated and initialized. This holds all stream related information + such as stream type (PCM/PDM) and parameters, Master and Slave + interface associated with the stream, stream state etc. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED``. + +Bus implements below API for allocate a stream which needs to be called once +per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state maybe linked to +.startup() operation. + + .. code-block:: c + int sdw_alloc_stream(char * stream_name); + + +SDW_STREAM_CONFIGURED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Configuration state of stream. Operations performed before entering in +this state: + + (1) The resources allocated for stream information in SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED + state are updated here. This includes stream parameters, Master(s) + and Slave(s) runtime information associated with current stream. + + (2) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with current stream provide + the port information to Bus which includes port numbers allocated by + Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream and their channel mask. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_CONFIGURED``. + +Bus implements below APIs for CONFIG state which needs to be called by +the respective Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with stream. These APIs can +only be invoked once by respective Master(s) and Slave(s). From ASoC DPCM +framework, this stream state is linked to .hw_params() operation. + + .. code-block:: c + int sdw_stream_add_master(struct sdw_bus * bus, + struct sdw_stream_config * stream_config, + struct sdw_ports_config * ports_config, + struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + int sdw_stream_add_slave(struct sdw_slave * slave, + struct sdw_stream_config * stream_config, + struct sdw_ports_config * ports_config, + struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +SDW_STREAM_PREPARED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Prepare state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) Bus parameters such as bandwidth, frame shape, clock frequency, + are computed based on current stream as well as already active + stream(s) on Bus. Re-computation is required to accommodate current + stream on the Bus. + + (2) Transport and port parameters of all Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) are + computed for the current as well as already active stream based on frame + shape and clock frequency computed in step 1. + + (3) Computed Bus and transport parameters are programmed in Master(s) and + Slave(s) registers. The banked registers programming is done on the + alternate bank (bank currently unused). Port(s) are enabled for the + already active stream(s) on the alternate bank (bank currently unused). + This is done in order to not disrupt already active stream(s). + + (4) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate + bank where all new values programmed gets into effect. + + (5) Ports of Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream are prepared by + programming PrepareCtrl register. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED``. + +Bus implements below API for PREPARE state which needs to be called once per +stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to +.prepare() operation. + + .. code-block:: c + int sdw_prepare_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +SDW_STREAM_ENABLED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Enable state of stream. The data port(s) are enabled upon entering this state. +Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) All the values computed in SDW_STREAM_PREPARED state are programmed + in alternate bank (bank currently unused). It includes programming of + already active stream(s) as well. + + (2) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) for the current stream are + enabled on alternate bank (bank currently unused) by programming + ChannelEn register. + + (3) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate + bank where all new values programmed gets into effect and port(s) + associated with current stream are enabled. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_ENABLED``. + +Bus implements below API for ENABLE state which needs to be called once per +stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to +.trigger() start operation. + + .. code-block:: c + int sdw_enable_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + +SDW_STREAM_DISABLED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Disable state of stream. The data port(s) are disabled upon exiting this state. +Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) for the current stream are + disabled on alternate bank (bank currently unused) by programming + ChannelEn register. + + (2) All the current configuration of Bus and active stream(s) are programmed + into alternate bank (bank currently unused). + + (3) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate + bank where all new values programmed gets into effect and port(s) associated + with current stream are disabled. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_DISABLED``. + +Bus implements below API for DISABLED state which needs to be called once +per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to +.trigger() stop operation. + + .. code-block:: c + int sdw_disable_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +De-prepare state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this +state: + + (1) All the port(s) of Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream are + de-prepared by programming PrepareCtrl register. + + (2) The payload bandwidth of current stream is reduced from the total + bandwidth requirement of bus and new parameters calculated and + applied by performing bank switch etc. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED``. + +Bus implements below API for DEPREPARED state which needs to be called once +per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to +.trigger() stop operation. + + .. code-block:: c + int sdw_deprepare_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +SDW_STREAM_RELEASED +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Release state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this state: + + (1) Release port resources for all Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) + associated with current stream. + + (2) Release Master(s) and Slave(s) runtime resources associated with + current stream. + + (3) Release stream runtime resources associated with current stream. + +After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to +``SDW_STREAM_RELEASED``. + +Bus implements below APIs for RELEASE state which needs to be called by +all the Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with stream. From ASoC DPCM +framework, this stream state is linked to .hw_free() operation. + + .. code-block:: c + int sdw_stream_remove_master(struct sdw_bus * bus, + struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + int sdw_stream_remove_slave(struct sdw_slave * slave, + struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + + +The .shutdown() ASoC DPCM operation calls below Bus API to release +stream assigned as part of ALLOCATED state. + +In .shutdown() the data structure maintaining stream state are freed up. + + .. code-block:: c + void sdw_release_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream); + +Not Supported +============= + +1. A single port with multiple channels supported cannot be used between two +streams or across stream. For example a port with 4 channels cannot be used +to handle 2 independent stereo streams even though it's possible in theory +in SoundWire. |
