Hi,

I've got:

 

 

ARMBIAN Debian GNU/Linux 8 (jessie) 3.4.112-sun4i

 

My problem is:

 

 

root@cubieboard:~# aplay -l
**** List of PLAYBACK Hardware Devices ****
card 0: sunxicodec [sunxi-CODEC], device 0: M1 PCM [sunxi PCM]
  Subdevices: 1/1
  Subdevice #0: subdevice #0

 

- no spdif. Why? Script.bin is ok. It seems that the driver is not built into the kernel...

 

Please help.

I have found similar topic here.

Anyone?

Yes, AFAIK driver was done only for A20 boards. BTW: that topic is unrelated.

Thank you.

So, if I understand correctly, in Cubieboard1 I can't  use s/pdif output? But it applies to Armbian or generally Debian?

Thank you.

Driver patches breaks building kernel for Allwinner A10 - I haven't go into details. Those are audio related patches applied on sunxi kernel source, enabled on A20 builds:

 

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/patch/kernel/sun7i-default/0028-nikkov-i2s-spdif-2.0.patch

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/patch/kernel/sun7i-default/0029-HDMI-8ch-and-alsa-fix-2.0.patch

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/patch/kernel/sun7i-default/1017-SPDIF-experiments.patch

 

SPDIF is also disabled in config by default:

https://github.com/igorpecovnik/lib/blob/master/config/fex/cubieboard.fex#L834

 

It's kernel / sys config related.

Hmmm... It's too hard for me. But thanks for help:)

 

Excuse me!!

Just to check  if I understood well.... There is no possibility to connect a DAC via I2s to Cubieboard 1 ?

 

Thanks

Theoretical yes, practical no since the driver was made for A20 and it breaks while building for A10. 

Not without rework.

Thanks. So, OPI one or Lite , could be a good alternative?
