GSoC 2019: ASoC codec driver project

Main GSoC Linux Foundation page: How to apply, deadlines, other workgroups, ...

The overall project goal of the ALSA System on Chip (ASoC) layer is to provide better ALSA support for embedded system-on-chip processors and portable audio codecs. To achieve all this, ASoC basically splits an embedded audio system into multiple re-usable component drivers:

1. codec drivers, the chip that actually does the ADC/DAC conversion.
2. digital audio interface drivers (e.g: I2S)
3. platform drivers (DMA)
4. machine drivers, connects the other component drivers together.

The goal of this project is to write a driver for I2S Stereo Decoder - UDA1334A

Code license: GPL

The project is considered successful if the code is accepted into Linux kernel ASoC maintainer's tree.

Have a look at:

• ASoC: Supporting audio on an embedded board
• ASoC Overview

• Send at least one patch to Linux kernel. See First kernel patch.
• Investigate ways to test your driver. Look for boards who can connect codecs on I2S interface.
