Some of i.MX8 processors (e.g i.MX8QM, i.MX8QXP) contain
the Tensilica HiFi4 DSP for advanced pre- and post-audio
processing.
The communication between Host CPU and DSP firmware is
taking place using a shared memory area for message passing
and a dedicated Messaging Unit for notifications.
DSP IPC protocol offers a doorbell interface using
imx-mailbox API.
We use 4 MU channels (2 x TXDB, 2 x RXDB) to implement a
request-reply protocol.
Connection 0 (txdb0, rxdb0):
- Host writes messasge to shared memory [SHMEM]
- Host sends a request [MU]
- DSP handles request [SHMEM]
- DSP sends reply [MU]
Connection 1 (txdb1, rxdb1):
- DSP writes a message to shared memory [SHMEM]
- DSP sends a request [MU]
- Host handles request [SHMEM]
- Host sends reply [MU]
The protocol interface will be used by a Host client to
communicate with the DSP. First client will be the i.MX8
part from Sound Open Firmware infrastructure.
The protocol offers the following interface:
On Tx:
- imx_dsp_ring_doorbell, will be called to notify the DSP
that it needs to handle a request.
On Rx:
- clients need to provide two callbacks:
.handle_reply
.handle_request
- the callbacks will be used by the protocol on
notification arrival from DSP.
