HDAudio multi-link extensions on Intel platforms¶

Copyright

© 2023 Intel Corporation

This file documents the 'multi-link structure' introduced in 2015 with the Skylake processor and recently extended in newer Intel platforms

HDaudio existing link mapping (2015 addition in SkyLake)¶

External HDAudio codecs are handled with link #0, while iDISP codec for HDMI/DisplayPort is handled with link #1.

The only change to the 2015 definitions is the declaration of the LCAP.ALT=0x0 - since the ALT bit was previously reserved, this is a backwards-compatible change.

LCTL.SPA and LCTL.CPA are automatically set when exiting reset. They are only used in existing drivers when the SCF value needs to be corrected.

SoundWire HDaudio extended link mapping¶

A SoundWire extended link is identified when LCAP.ALT=1 and LEPTR.ID=0.

DMA control uses the existing LOSIDV register.

Changes include additional descriptions for enumeration that were not present in earlier generations.

  • multi-link synchronization: capabilities in LCAP.LSS and control in LSYNC

  • number of sublinks (manager IP) in LCAP.LSCOUNT

  • power management moved from SHIM to LCTL.SPA bits

  • hand-over to the DSP for access to multi-link registers, SHIM/IP with LCTL.OFLEN

  • mapping of SoundWire codecs to SDI ID bits

  • move of SHIM and Cadence registers to different offsets, with no change in functionality. The LEPTR.PTR value is an offset from the ML address, with a default value of 0x30000.
