In order for this aforementioned route to get +triggered, DAPM needs to find a valid endpoint which could be either +a sink or source widget corresponding to playback and capture path +respectively. + +In order to trigger this dai_link widget, a thin codec driver for +the speaker amp can be created as demonstrated in wm8727.c file, it +sets appropriate constraints for the device even if it needs no control. + +Make sure to name your corresponding cpu and codec playback and capture +dai names ending with "Playback" and "Capture" respectively as dapm core +will link and power those dais based on the name. + +A dai_link in a "simple-audio-card" will automatically be detected as +codec to codec when all DAIs on the link belong to codec components. +The dai_link will be initialized with the subset of stream parameters +(channels, format, sample rate) supported by all DAIs on the link. Since +there is no way to provide these parameters in the device tree, this is +mostly useful for communication with simple fixed-function codecs, such +as a Bluetooth controller or cellular modem. |
