Hi,
I am trying to communicate with an ADC (using frame-sync interface) via the McBSP.
I would like to get DMA going but for now, I am focussing on simply being able to do a single read from user-space.
I have found the driver files arch/arm/mach-omap2/mcbsp.c and arch/arm/plat-omap/mcbsp.c but I am not sure how to use them.
As far as I can the tell McBSP drivers do not make the device available through /dev/.
Would I have to write a my own character device driver on top of the existing?
Does anyone have a simple code example or can someone give a brief description on how to read data from McBSP?
I have had a look at the sound drivers sound/soc/omap/omap-mcbsp.c and sound/soc/omap/omap3beagle.c which use mcbsp but I am not familiar with how ALSA drivers work and find these very hard to understand or rip apart for my purposes.
I see also that arch/arm/mach-omap2/mcbsp.c says:
* Multichannel mode not supported.
Does this mean that only 1 of the 5 McBSPx on the OMAP can be used?
Any help will be much appreciated
Regards,
John
