Intel® S1000 2-Way Audio Sample Application¶
Overview¶
This sample application demonstrates audio capture and playback on an Intel® S1000 CRB. The application uses the following drivers
- DMIC driver (For microphone audio capture)
- I2S driver (For audio input from host, audio output to host and audio output to codec)
- Codec driver
Intel® S1000 is the master on the I2S interfaces. The host is a slave on I2S and is expected to send and receive audio at a sampling frequency of 48KHz, 32 bits per sample.
This sample application captures 8 channels of audio one from each of the 8 microphones. The first 2 channels are buffered and forwarded to the host. Simultaneously, 2 channels of audio from the host are buffered and forwarded to the codec. This bidirectional forwarding of audio demonstrates a 2-way audio stream between S1000’s microphones/audio line-out and the host.
After the app starts, one may use the ALSA aplay/arecord commands on a Linux host connected to S1000 over the I2S bus to play and record the audio.
aplay -f S32_LE -r 48000 -c 2 -D <Device> <WAV file to Play>
arecord -f S32_LE -r 48000 -c 2 -D <Device> <WAV file to Record>
Requirements¶
This application uses an Intel® S1000 Customer Reference Board (CRB) with a circular 8 microphone array board. The Microphone array board contains a TI TLV320DAC3101 DAC for line-level Audio output.
Cable Rework¶
A rework of the host to CRB cable is required for playing audio from host. Pin 12 needs to be wired to Pin 29 on the 40-pin connector of the cable.
