Information about the Device
|
|
----------------------------
|
|
|
|
This chip is a Silicon Labs product. It is a I2C device, currently on 0x63 address.
|
|
Basically, it has transmission and signal noise level measurement features.
|
|
|
|
The Si4713 integrates transmit functions for FM broadcast stereo transmission.
|
|
The chip also allows integrated receive power scanning to identify low signal
|
|
power FM channels.
|
|
|
|
The chip is programmed using commands and responses. There are also several
|
|
properties which can change the behavior of this chip.
|
|
|
|
Users must comply with local regulations on radio frequency (RF) transmission.

Device driver description
|
|
-------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are two modules to handle this device. One is a I2C device driver
|
|
and the other is a platform driver.
|
|
|
|
The I2C device driver exports a v4l2-subdev interface to the kernel.
|
|
All properties can also be accessed by v4l2 extended controls interface, by
|
|
using the v4l2-subdev calls (g_ext_ctrls, s_ext_ctrls).
|
|
|
|
The platform device driver exports a v4l2 radio device interface to user land.
|
|
So, it uses the I2C device driver as a sub device in order to send the user
|
|
commands to the actual device. Basically it is a wrapper to the I2C device driver.
|
|
|
|
Applications can use v4l2 radio API to specify frequency of operation, mute state,
|
|
etc. But mostly of its properties will be present in the extended controls.
|
|
|
|
When the v4l2 mute property is set to 1 (true), the driver will turn the chip off.
|
|
|
|
Properties description
|

|
|
|
|
Here is a summary of them:
|
|
|
|
* Pilot is an audible tone sent by the device.
|
|
|
|
- pilot_frequency - Configures the frequency of the stereo pilot tone.
|
|
- pilot_deviation - Configures pilot tone frequency deviation level.
|
|
- pilot_enabled - Enables or disables the pilot tone feature.
|
|
|
|
* The si4713 device is capable of applying audio compression to the
|
|

|
RNL
|
|
---
|
|
|
|
This device also has an interface to measure received noise level. To do that, you should
|
|
ioctl the device node. Here is an code of example:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
int main (int argc, char *argv[])
|
|
{
|
|
struct si4713_rnl rnl;
|
|
int fd = open("/dev/radio0", O_RDWR);
|
|
int rval;
|
|
|
|
if (argc < 2)
|
|
return -EINVAL;
|
|
|
|
if (fd < 0)
|
|
return fd;
|
|
|
|
sscanf(argv[1], "%d", &rnl.frequency);
|
|
|
|
rval = ioctl(fd, SI4713_IOC_MEASURE_RNL, &rnl);
|
|
if (rval < 0)
|
|
return rval;
|
|
|
|
printf("received noise level: %d\n", rnl.rnl);
|
|
|
|
close(fd);
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
The struct si4713_rnl and SI4713_IOC_MEASURE_RNL are defined under
|
|
include/linux/platform_data/media/si4713.h.
|
|
|
|
Stereo/Mono and RDS subchannels
|
|
-------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The device can also be configured using the available sub channels for
|
|
transmission. To do that use S/G_MODULATOR ioctl and configure txsubchans properly.
|
|
Refer to the V4L2 API specification for proper use of this ioctl.
|
|
|
|
Testing
|
|
-------
|
|
Testing is usually done with v4l2-ctl utility for managing FM tuner cards.
|
|
The tool can be found in v4l-dvb repository under v4l2-apps/util directory.
|
|
|
|
Example for setting rds ps name:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
# v4l2-ctl -d /dev/radio0 --set-ctrl=rds_ps_name="Dummy"
|
