piCore and Wolfson Audio Card

<< < (5/9) > >>

sbp:
I completely agree.
I think they produced a good audio card, however, because of their very poor software support it is of no use for most people.
So I would advice to find an alternative audio card, which by the way are coming from many different vendors.

So lets wait until the wolfson card is properly supported in the kernel.

bmarkus:
You can open a ticket at https://github.com/raspberrypi/linux/issues and ask the status and whether somene got it already working. Also the rafberrip forum may help.

If you can provide proper config parameters I will apply them in the kernel, otherwise keep actual one which looks ok in general and I do not spend time to investigate the Wolfson mess.

Hi Bela

I got a response from the guys at Wolfson. In short the support for the wolfson card is not included in the most recent 3.17 version.


--- Code: --- Hi, We haven't pushed this change in to the 3.17 kernel yet. The plan was to get this in to the 3.12 kernel which is what this pull
request is for and then we would start to look at the issue in 3.17 and forward porting this driver. There will be some of our code in the
3.17 kernel as this will have been picked up from the mainline kernel.

--- End code ---

So maybe in the future this card will be supported, but at the time most users have moved on to a B+ or other small ARMs computers.

Hi Steen

thanks fo the info. I do not understand how B+ is related to the kernel but never mind. It is not there. I will disable it in the config, recompile the final 3.17.2 kernel for piCore 6.0 When Wolffson will be really supported we can decide how to manage it.

Regards... Bela

I think that you will find that there is nothing to disable as it is not available in the present config file. However, if you are reusing your config file from 3.17.1 than probably there will be some leftovers.
