AMD Geode Audio controller needs a driver

[scottmc]

AMD Geode audio controller has no driver.

Here's the listdev output for the multimedia controller:

device Multimedia controller (Multimedia audio controller) [4|1|0]

vendor 1022: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] device 2093: CS5536 [Geode companion] Audio

Have you checked to see if OSS supports this?

It mentions a "National Semiconductor Geode CS5530" in the list of supported chips:

Could you provide the hardware ?

[scottmc]

Here's a link to the datasheet for the CS5536 chip that contains the audio device for the Geode platform: ​http://www.amd.com/files/connectivitysolutions/geode/geode_lx/33238G_cs5536_db.pdf My guess is that it isn't much different than the CS5530.

This can also be removed from the R1 milestone. I'll check into getting hardware, but no promises.

syslog from an AMD Geode board running on a 4GB CF card

[scottmc]

Just tried with hrev28974 and attached the syslog. The audio device didn't show up in the media prefs.

[korli]

Scott, did you add the geode driver in BEOS_ADD_ONS_DRIVERS_AUDIO (like hda) ?

[scottmc]

I thought i did, but now i'm not sure. I'll check it tonight and if I didn't, I will rebuild and try again tomorrow.

[umccullough]

You should also be able to add it to your UserBuildConfig pretty easily:

AddDriversToHaikuImage audio hmulti : geode ;

Saves the trouble of hacking up the HaikuImage file :)

[korli]

Seems Scott did :) After checking, I mixed up devices. Please check again in hrev28979.

syslog from hrev28955 on geode board

[scottmc]

here's a new attempt this time with hrev28995, but I forgot to double check if geode was enabled in haikuimage file. I'll build again over the weekend and try a fresh image early next week.

[korli]

Please check because I'm clueless :)

Please have a look at hrev29174, thanks!

[scottmc]

geode shows up in media preps now!

[scottmc]

It seems hrev29174 helps as I'm now seeing it show up in the media prefs, but there's no sound, at least not when i tried to play an mp3 file. I'll see if I can pull a syslog from it today. That board locks up with some sort of USB issue I think after just a few minutes of being on, so i have to work fast.

[korli]

Please have a try with hrev29440

`listdev' can see the audio chipset in my case, but MediaPrefs doesn't:

device Multimedia controller (Multimedia audio controller) [4|1|0]

vendor 100b: National Semiconductor Corporation device 002e: CS5535 Audio

Device in question is a DT Research WebDT 366 webpad ( ​http://bit.ly/6LqVeB). Attached syslog and `listdev' output.

syslog from WebDT 366.

`listdev' output for WebDT 366.

Forgot to mention: currently testing under R1 Alpha 1.

[mmu_man]

Anyone still using this card and could test on a recent nightly?

It looks like it's still not in the image, so you'll have to compile it yourself.

I think this is the board Korli gave me at BeGeistert last year. I'll check and report.
