[Ipodlinux-devel] 2.4.24 kernel

[Bernard L. <le...@bo...>]

Hi all,

last night I finally sorted out the iPod third-gen audio problems.  With
this fix all the supported hardware should work for all (non-mini) iPod
models.  I have also added devfs support for /dev/dsp.

I'd like to get this version of the kernel up as a release on
sourceforge in the next little while.

The big question though is - are there any known problems that should be
addressed in this release?

cheers,
bern.

Great news.
Does this release fix the problem of the audio driver only supporting
44.1kHz samping rates ? Last time I looked at the driver, it hardcoded the
chip's registers to only do 44.1kHz, but it seems that the hardware if
capable of supporting other sampling rates. Also, the driver is always in
stereo, but the chip might be able to do mono.

Thanks.

It still only does 44.1... as you say the chip does other rates but my
driver is pretty dodgey.  The driver also only does output ;)  Patches
for either would be gratefully accepted!

Post the release, I am hoping to make the move to 2.6 on the iPod asap
and focus on adding new features / better drivers there.  E.g. for the
audio move to an ALSA driver.  At the moment 2.6 doesn't even mount the
rootfs though so it might be some way off...

cheers,
bern.

Yeaht it's a great news :) !

A another problem, is the kernel bug when we boot with the firewire cable

Thank you for your great work bern !

best regards,

Mathieu

I compiled the tsb driver as a module, and it works fine. So as a
temporary workaround you may try this, too. About the panic: firewire is
initialized very early (actually before the display) if it's built in, so
the interrupt handler may use something not yet initialized...
