2Dynamic Audio Power Management for Portable Devices
3===================================================

5Description
6===========
7
8Dynamic Audio Power Management (DAPM) is designed to allow portable
9Linux devices to use the minimum amount of power within the audio
10subsystem at all times. It is independent of other kernel power
11management frameworks and, as such, can easily co-exist with them.
12
13DAPM is also completely transparent to all user space applications as
14all power switching is done within the ASoC core. No code changes or
15recompiling are required for user space applications. DAPM makes power
16switching decisions based upon any audio stream (capture/playback)
17activity and audio mixer settings within the device.
18
19DAPM is based on two basic elements, called widgets and routes:
20
21 * a **widget** is every part of the audio hardware that can be enabled by
22   software when in use and disabled to save power when not in use
23 * a **route** is an interconnection between widgets that exists when sound
24   can flow from one widget to the other
25
26All DAPM power switching decisions are made automatically by consulting an
27audio routing graph. This graph is specific to each sound card and spans
28the whole sound card, so some DAPM routes connect two widgets belonging to
29different components (e.g. the LINE OUT pin of a CODEC and the input pin of
30an amplifier).
31
32The graph for the STM32MP1-DK1 sound card is shown in picture:

37
38DAPM power domains
39==================
40
41There are 4 power domains within DAPM:
42
43Codec bias domain
44      VREF, VMID (core codec and audio power)
45
46      Usually controlled at codec probe/remove and suspend/resume, although
47      can be set at stream time if power is not needed for sidetone, etc.
48
49Platform/Machine domain
50      physically connected inputs and outputs
51
52      Is platform/machine and user action specific, is configured by the
53      machine driver and responds to asynchronous events e.g when HP
54      are inserted
55
56Path domain
57      audio subsystem signal paths
58
59      Automatically set when mixer and mux settings are changed by the user.
60      e.g. alsamixer, amixer.
61
62Stream domain
63      DACs and ADCs.
64
65      Enabled and disabled when stream playback/capture is started and
66      stopped respectively. e.g. aplay, arecord.

136	uncompressed format like PCM.
137
138
139(Widgets are defined in include/sound/soc-dapm.h)
140
141Widgets can be added to the sound card by any of the component driver types.
142There are convenience macros defined in soc-dapm.h that can be used to quickly
143build a list of widgets of the codecs and machines DAPM widgets.
144
145Most widgets have a name, register, shift and invert. Some widgets have extra
146parameters for stream name and kcontrols.
147
148
149Stream Domain Widgets
150---------------------
151
152Stream Widgets relate to the stream power domain and only consist of ADCs
153(analog to digital converters), DACs (digital to analog converters),
154AIF IN and AIF OUT.
155
156Stream widgets have the following format:
157::
158
159  SND_SOC_DAPM_DAC(name, stream name, reg, shift, invert),
160  SND_SOC_DAPM_AIF_IN(name, stream, slot, reg, shift, invert)
161
162NOTE: the stream name must match the corresponding stream name in your codec
163snd_soc_dai_driver.
164
165e.g. stream widgets for HiFi playback and capture
166::
167
168  SND_SOC_DAPM_DAC("HiFi DAC", "HiFi Playback", REG, 3, 1),
169  SND_SOC_DAPM_ADC("HiFi ADC", "HiFi Capture", REG, 2, 1),
170
171e.g. stream widgets for AIF
172::
173
174  SND_SOC_DAPM_AIF_IN("AIF1RX", "AIF1 Playback", 0, SND_SOC_NOPM, 0, 0),
175  SND_SOC_DAPM_AIF_OUT("AIF1TX", "AIF1 Capture", 0, SND_SOC_NOPM, 0, 0),
176
177
178Path Domain Widgets
179-------------------
180
181Path domain widgets have a ability to control or affect the audio signal or
182audio paths within the audio subsystem. They have the following form:
183::
184
185  SND_SOC_DAPM_PGA(name, reg, shift, invert, controls, num_controls)
186
187Any widget kcontrols can be set using the controls and num_controls members.
188
189e.g. Mixer widget (the kcontrols are declared first)
190::
191
192  /* Output Mixer */
193  static const snd_kcontrol_new_t wm8731_output_mixer_controls[] = {
194  SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("Line Bypass Switch", WM8731_APANA, 3, 1, 0),
195  SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("Mic Sidetone Switch", WM8731_APANA, 5, 1, 0),
196  SOC_DAPM_SINGLE("HiFi Playback Switch", WM8731_APANA, 4, 1, 0),
197  };
198
199  SND_SOC_DAPM_MIXER("Output Mixer", WM8731_PWR, 4, 1, wm8731_output_mixer_controls,
200	ARRAY_SIZE(wm8731_output_mixer_controls)),
201
202If you don't want the mixer elements prefixed with the name of the mixer widget,
203you can use SND_SOC_DAPM_MIXER_NAMED_CTL instead. the parameters are the same
204as for SND_SOC_DAPM_MIXER.
205
206
207Machine domain Widgets
208----------------------
209
210Machine widgets are different from codec widgets in that they don't have a
211codec register bit associated with them. A machine widget is assigned to each
212machine audio component (non codec or DSP) that can be independently
213powered. e.g.
214
215* Speaker Amp
216* Microphone Bias
217* Jack connectors
218
219A machine widget can have an optional call back.
220
221e.g. Jack connector widget for an external Mic that enables Mic Bias
222when the Mic is inserted::
223
224  static int spitz_mic_bias(struct snd_soc_dapm_widget* w, int event)
225  {
226	gpio_set_value(SPITZ_GPIO_MIC_BIAS, SND_SOC_DAPM_EVENT_ON(event));
227	return 0;
228  }
229
230  SND_SOC_DAPM_MIC("Mic Jack", spitz_mic_bias),
231
232
233Codec (BIAS) Domain
234-------------------
235
236The codec bias power domain has no widgets and is handled by the codec DAPM
237event handler. This handler is called when the codec powerstate is changed wrt
238to any stream event or by kernel PM events.
239
240
241Virtual Widgets
242---------------
243
244Sometimes widgets exist in the codec or machine audio graph that don't have any
245corresponding soft power control. In this case it is necessary to create
246a virtual widget - a widget with no control bits e.g.
247::
248
249  SND_SOC_DAPM_MIXER("AC97 Mixer", SND_SOC_NOPM, 0, 0, NULL, 0),
250
251This can be used to merge two signal paths together in software.
252
253Registering DAPM controls
254=========================
255
256In many cases the DAPM widgets are implemented statically in a ``static
257const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget`` array in a codec driver, and simply
258declared via the ``dapm_widgets`` and ``num_dapm_widgets`` fields of the
259``struct snd_soc_component_driver``.
260
261Similarly, routes connecting them are implemented statically in a ``static
262const struct snd_soc_dapm_route`` array and declared via the
263``dapm_routes`` and ``num_dapm_routes`` fields of the same struct.
264
265With the above declared, the driver registration will take care of
266populating them::
267
268  static const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget wm2000_dapm_widgets[] = {
269  	SND_SOC_DAPM_OUTPUT("SPKN"),
270  	SND_SOC_DAPM_OUTPUT("SPKP"),
271  	...
272  };
273
274  /* Target, Path, Source */
275  static const struct snd_soc_dapm_route wm2000_audio_map[] = {
276  	{ "SPKN", NULL, "ANC Engine" },
277  	{ "SPKP", NULL, "ANC Engine" },
278	...
279  };
280
281  static const struct snd_soc_component_driver soc_component_dev_wm2000 = {
282	...
283  	.dapm_widgets		= wm2000_dapm_widgets,
284  	.num_dapm_widgets	= ARRAY_SIZE(wm2000_dapm_widgets),
285  	.dapm_routes            = wm2000_audio_map,
286  	.num_dapm_routes        = ARRAY_SIZE(wm2000_audio_map),
287	...
288  };
289
290In more complex cases the list of DAPM widgets and/or routes can be only
291known at probe time. This happens for example when a driver supports
292different models having a different set of features. In those cases
293separate widgets and routes arrays implementing the case-specific features
294can be registered programmatically by calling snd_soc_dapm_new_controls()
295and snd_soc_dapm_add_routes().
296
297
298Codec/DSP Widget Interconnections
299=================================
300
301Widgets are connected to each other within the codec, platform and machine by
302audio paths (called interconnections). Each interconnection must be defined in
303order to create a graph of all audio paths between widgets.
304
305This is easiest with a diagram of the codec or DSP (and schematic of the machine
306audio system), as it requires joining widgets together via their audio signal
307paths.
308
309For example the WM8731 output mixer (wm8731.c) has 3 inputs (sources):
310
3111. Line Bypass Input
3122. DAC (HiFi playback)
3133. Mic Sidetone Input
314
315Each input in this example has a kcontrol associated with it (defined in
316the example above) and is connected to the output mixer via its kcontrol
317name. We can now connect the destination widget (wrt audio signal) with its
318source widgets.  ::
319
320	/* output mixer */
321	{"Output Mixer", "Line Bypass Switch", "Line Input"},
322	{"Output Mixer", "HiFi Playback Switch", "DAC"},
323	{"Output Mixer", "Mic Sidetone Switch", "Mic Bias"},
324
325So we have:
326
327* Destination Widget  <=== Path Name <=== Source Widget, or
328* Sink, Path, Source, or
329* ``Output Mixer`` is connected to the ``DAC`` via the ``HiFi Playback Switch``.
330
331When there is no path name connecting widgets (e.g. a direct connection) we
332pass NULL for the path name.
333
334Interconnections are created with a call to::
335
336  snd_soc_dapm_connect_input(codec, sink, path, source);
337
338Finally, snd_soc_dapm_new_widgets() must be called after all widgets and
339interconnections have been registered with the core. This causes the core to
340scan the codec and machine so that the internal DAPM state matches the
341physical state of the machine.
342
343
344Machine Widget Interconnections
345-------------------------------
346Machine widget interconnections are created in the same way as codec ones and
347directly connect the codec pins to machine level widgets.
348
349e.g. connects the speaker out codec pins to the internal speaker.
350::
351
352	/* ext speaker connected to codec pins LOUT2, ROUT2  */
353	{"Ext Spk", NULL , "ROUT2"},
354	{"Ext Spk", NULL , "LOUT2"},
355
356This allows the DAPM to power on and off pins that are connected (and in use)
357and pins that are NC respectively.
358
359
360Endpoint Widgets
361================
362An endpoint is a start or end point (widget) of an audio signal within the
363machine and includes the codec. e.g.
364
365* Headphone Jack
366* Internal Speaker
367* Internal Mic
368* Mic Jack
369* Codec Pins
370
371Endpoints are added to the DAPM graph so that their usage can be determined in
372order to save power. e.g. NC codecs pins will be switched OFF, unconnected
373jacks can also be switched OFF.
374
375
376DAPM Widget Events
377==================
378
379Widgets needing to implement a more complex behaviour than what DAPM can do
380can set a custom "event handler" by setting a function pointer. An example
381is a power supply needing to enable a GPIO::
382
383  static int sof_es8316_speaker_power_event(struct snd_soc_dapm_widget *w,
384  					  struct snd_kcontrol *kcontrol, int event)
385  {
386  	if (SND_SOC_DAPM_EVENT_ON(event))
387  		gpiod_set_value_cansleep(gpio_pa, true);
388  	else
389  		gpiod_set_value_cansleep(gpio_pa, false);
390
391  	return 0;
392  }
393
394  static const struct snd_soc_dapm_widget st_widgets[] = {
395  	...
396  	SND_SOC_DAPM_SUPPLY("Speaker Power", SND_SOC_NOPM, 0, 0,
397  			    sof_es8316_speaker_power_event,
398  			    SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMD | SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMU),
399  };
400
401See soc-dapm.h for all other widgets that support events.
402
403
404Event types
405-----------
406
407The following event types are supported by event widgets::
408
409  /* dapm event types */
410  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMU		0x1	/* before widget power up */
411  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMU		0x2	/* after  widget power up */
412  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMD		0x4	/* before widget power down */
413  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMD		0x8	/* after  widget power down */
414  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_REG		0x10	/* before audio path setup */
415  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_REG		0x20	/* after  audio path setup */
416  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_WILL_PMU		0x40	/* called at start of sequence */
417  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_WILL_PMD		0x80	/* called at start of sequence */
418  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_POST_PMD	(SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMD | SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMD)
419  #define SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_POST_PMU	(SND_SOC_DAPM_PRE_PMU | SND_SOC_DAPM_POST_PMU)
420
