2Audio Stream in SoundWire
3=========================

5An audio stream is a logical or virtual connection created between
6
7  (1) System memory buffer(s) and Codec(s)
8
9  (2) DSP memory buffer(s) and Codec(s)
10
11  (3) FIFO(s) and Codec(s)
12
13  (4) Codec(s) and Codec(s)
14
15which is typically driven by a DMA(s) channel through the data link. An
16audio stream contains one or more channels of data. All channels within
17stream must have same sample rate and same sample size.
18
19Assume a stream with two channels (Left & Right) is opened using SoundWire
20interface. Below are some ways a stream can be represented in SoundWire.

195Note1: In multi-link cases like above, to lock, one would acquire a global
196lock and then go on locking bus instances. But, in this case the caller
197framework(ASoC DPCM) guarantees that stream operations on a card are
198always serialized. So, there is no race condition and hence no need for
199global lock.
200
201Note2: A Slave device may be configured to receive all channels
202transmitted on a link for a given Stream (Example 4) or just a subset
203of the data (Example 3). The configuration of the Slave device is not
204handled by a SoundWire subsystem API, but instead by the
205snd_soc_dai_set_tdm_slot() API. The platform or machine driver will
206typically configure which of the slots are used. For Example 4, the
207same slots would be used by all Devices, while for Example 3 the Slave
208Device1 would use e.g. Slot 0 and Slave device2 slot 1.
209
210Note3: Multiple Sink ports can extract the same information for the
211same bitSlots in the SoundWire frame, however multiple Source ports
212shall be configured with different bitSlot configurations. This is the
213same limitation as with I2S/PCM TDM usages.

215SoundWire Stream Management flow
216================================
217
218Stream definitions
219------------------
220
221  (1) Current stream: This is classified as the stream on which operation has
222      to be performed like prepare, enable, disable, de-prepare etc.
223
224  (2) Active stream: This is classified as the stream which is already active
225      on Bus other than current stream. There can be multiple active streams
226      on the Bus.
227
228SoundWire Bus manages stream operations for each stream getting
229rendered/captured on the SoundWire Bus. This section explains Bus operations
230done for each of the stream allocated/released on Bus. Following are the
231stream states maintained by the Bus for each of the audio stream.
232
233
234SoundWire stream states
235-----------------------
236
237Below shows the SoundWire stream states and state transition diagram. ::
238
239	+-----------+     +------------+     +----------+     +----------+
240	| ALLOCATED +---->| CONFIGURED +---->| PREPARED +---->| ENABLED  |
241	|   STATE   |     |    STATE   |     |  STATE   |     |  STATE   |

245				               __|  |___________   |
246				              |                 |  |
247	                                      v                 |  v

251	         +----------+           +------------+        +----------+
252
253NOTE: State transitions between ``SDW_STREAM_ENABLED`` and
254``SDW_STREAM_DISABLED`` are only relevant when then INFO_PAUSE flag is
255supported at the ALSA/ASoC level. Likewise the transition between
256``SDW_DISABLED_STATE`` and ``SDW_PREPARED_STATE`` depends on the
257INFO_RESUME flag.
258
259NOTE2: The framework implements basic state transition checks, but
260does not e.g. check if a transition from DISABLED to ENABLED is valid
261on a specific platform. Such tests need to be added at the ALSA/ASoC
262level.
263
264Stream State Operations
265-----------------------
266
267Below section explains the operations done by the Bus on Master(s) and
268Slave(s) as part of stream state transitions.
269
270SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED
271~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
272
273Allocation state for stream. This is the entry state
274of the stream. Operations performed before entering in this state:
275
276  (1) A stream runtime is allocated for the stream. This stream
277      runtime is used as a reference for all the operations performed
278      on the stream.
279
280  (2) The resources required for holding stream runtime information are
281      allocated and initialized. This holds all stream related information
282      such as stream type (PCM/PDM) and parameters, Master and Slave
283      interface associated with the stream, stream state etc.
284
285After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
286``SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED``.
287
288Bus implements below API for allocate a stream which needs to be called once
289per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state maybe linked to
290.startup() operation.

294  int sdw_alloc_stream(char * stream_name);
295
296
297SDW_STREAM_CONFIGURED
298~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
299
300Configuration state of stream. Operations performed before entering in
301this state:
302
303  (1) The resources allocated for stream information in SDW_STREAM_ALLOCATED
304      state are updated here. This includes stream parameters, Master(s)
305      and Slave(s) runtime information associated with current stream.
306
307  (2) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with current stream provide
308      the port information to Bus which includes port numbers allocated by
309      Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream and their channel mask.
310
311After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
312``SDW_STREAM_CONFIGURED``.
313
314Bus implements below APIs for CONFIG state which needs to be called by
315the respective Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with stream. These APIs can
316only be invoked once by respective Master(s) and Slave(s). From ASoC DPCM
317framework, this stream state is linked to .hw_params() operation.

330
331
332SDW_STREAM_PREPARED
333~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
334
335Prepare state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this state:
336
337  (0) Steps 1 and 2 are omitted in the case of a resume operation,
338      where the bus bandwidth is known.
339
340  (1) Bus parameters such as bandwidth, frame shape, clock frequency,
341      are computed based on current stream as well as already active
342      stream(s) on Bus. Re-computation is required to accommodate current
343      stream on the Bus.
344
345  (2) Transport and port parameters of all Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) are
346      computed for the current as well as already active stream based on frame
347      shape and clock frequency computed in step 1.
348
349  (3) Computed Bus and transport parameters are programmed in Master(s) and
350      Slave(s) registers. The banked registers programming is done on the
351      alternate bank (bank currently unused). Port(s) are enabled for the
352      already active stream(s) on the alternate bank (bank currently unused).
353      This is done in order to not disrupt already active stream(s).
354
355  (4) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate
356      bank where all new values programmed gets into effect.
357
358  (5) Ports of Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream are prepared by
359      programming PrepareCtrl register.
360
361After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
362``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED``.
363
364Bus implements below API for PREPARE state which needs to be called
365once per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked
366to .prepare() operation. Since the .trigger() operations may not
367follow the .prepare(), a direct transition from
368``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED`` to ``SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED`` is allowed.
369
370.. code-block:: c
371
372  int sdw_prepare_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
373
374
375SDW_STREAM_ENABLED
376~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
377
378Enable state of stream. The data port(s) are enabled upon entering this state.
379Operations performed before entering in this state:
380
381  (1) All the values computed in SDW_STREAM_PREPARED state are programmed
382      in alternate bank (bank currently unused). It includes programming of
383      already active stream(s) as well.
384
385  (2) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) for the current stream are
386      enabled on alternate bank (bank currently unused) by programming
387      ChannelEn register.
388
389  (3) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate
390      bank where all new values programmed gets into effect and port(s)
391      associated with current stream are enabled.
392
393After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
394``SDW_STREAM_ENABLED``.
395
396Bus implements below API for ENABLE state which needs to be called once per
397stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to
398.trigger() start operation.
399
400.. code-block:: c
401
402  int sdw_enable_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
403
404SDW_STREAM_DISABLED
405~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
406
407Disable state of stream. The data port(s) are disabled upon exiting this state.
408Operations performed before entering in this state:
409
410  (1) All the Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s) for the current stream are
411      disabled on alternate bank (bank currently unused) by programming
412      ChannelEn register.
413
414  (2) All the current configuration of Bus and active stream(s) are programmed
415      into alternate bank (bank currently unused).
416
417  (3) Once all the values are programmed, Bus initiates switch to alternate
418      bank where all new values programmed gets into effect and port(s) associated
419      with current stream are disabled.
420
421After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
422``SDW_STREAM_DISABLED``.
423
424Bus implements below API for DISABLED state which needs to be called once
425per stream. From ASoC DPCM framework, this stream state is linked to
426.trigger() stop operation.
427
428When the INFO_PAUSE flag is supported, a direct transition to
429``SDW_STREAM_ENABLED`` is allowed.
430
431For resume operations where ASoC will use the .prepare() callback, the
432stream can transition from ``SDW_STREAM_DISABLED`` to
433``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED``, with all required settings restored but
434without updating the bandwidth and bit allocation.
435
436.. code-block:: c
437
438  int sdw_disable_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
439
440
441SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED
442~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
443
444De-prepare state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this
445state:
446
447  (1) All the port(s) of Master(s) and Slave(s) for current stream are
448      de-prepared by programming PrepareCtrl register.
449
450  (2) The payload bandwidth of current stream is reduced from the total
451      bandwidth requirement of bus and new parameters calculated and
452      applied by performing bank switch etc.
453
454After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
455``SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED``.
456
457Bus implements below API for DEPREPARED state which needs to be called
458once per stream. ALSA/ASoC do not have a concept of 'deprepare', and
459the mapping from this stream state to ALSA/ASoC operation may be
460implementation specific.
461
462When the INFO_PAUSE flag is supported, the stream state is linked to
463the .hw_free() operation - the stream is not deprepared on a
464TRIGGER_STOP.
465
466Other implementations may transition to the ``SDW_STREAM_DEPREPARED``
467state on TRIGGER_STOP, should they require a transition through the
468``SDW_STREAM_PREPARED`` state.

470.. code-block:: c
471
472  int sdw_deprepare_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
473
474
475SDW_STREAM_RELEASED
476~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
477
478Release state of stream. Operations performed before entering in this state:
479
480  (1) Release port resources for all Master(s) and Slave(s) port(s)
481      associated with current stream.
482
483  (2) Release Master(s) and Slave(s) runtime resources associated with
484      current stream.
485
486  (3) Release stream runtime resources associated with current stream.
487
488After all above operations are successful, stream state is set to
489``SDW_STREAM_RELEASED``.
490
491Bus implements below APIs for RELEASE state which needs to be called by
492all the Master(s) and Slave(s) associated with stream. From ASoC DPCM
493framework, this stream state is linked to .hw_free() operation.
494
495.. code-block:: c
496
497  int sdw_stream_remove_master(struct sdw_bus * bus,
498		struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
499  int sdw_stream_remove_slave(struct sdw_slave * slave,
500		struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
501
502
503The .shutdown() ASoC DPCM operation calls below Bus API to release
504stream assigned as part of ALLOCATED state.
505
506In .shutdown() the data structure maintaining stream state are freed up.
507
508.. code-block:: c
509
510  void sdw_release_stream(struct sdw_stream_runtime * stream);
511
512Not Supported
513=============
514
5151. A single port with multiple channels supported cannot be used between two
516streams or across stream. For example a port with 4 channels cannot be used
517to handle 2 independent stereo streams even though it's possible in theory
518in SoundWire.
