GENERAL
|
|
|
|
|
=======
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mixartloader is a helper program to load the firmware binaries
|
|
|
|
|
onto the Digigram's miXart board sound drivers.
|
|
|
|
|
The following modules require this program:
|
|
|
|
|
snd-mixart
|
|
|
|
|
These drivers don't work properly at all until the certain firmwares
|
|
|
|
|
are loaded, i.e. no PCM nor mixer devices will appear.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
USAGE
|
|
|
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
When mixartloader is invoked without options, it will probe all existing
|
|
|
|
|
soundcards until a valid miXart-driver is found. If a valid miXart-driver is
|
|
|
|
|
found, mixartloader reads the board type from the driver. The corresponding
|
|
|
|
|
firmware binaries are then read and transferred to the driver.
|
|
|
|
|
Finally, mixartloader initializes the PCM and the mixer devices on the
|
|
|
|
|
driver for making the soundcard full functional.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Instead of auto-probing, you can specify the card number or the hwdep
|
|
|
|
|
device name via -c and -D options, respectively.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
% mixartloader -c 1
|
|
|
|
|
% mixartloader -D hw:0
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
For loading the firmware automatically after the module is loaded, use
|
|
|
|
|
the post-install command. For example, add the following entry to
|
|
|
|
|
/etc/modules.conf for miXart driver:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
post-install snd-mixart /usr/bin/mixartloader
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

|
The firmware binaries are installed on /usr/share/alsa/firmware/mixartloader
|
|
|
|
|
(or /usr/local/share/alsa/firmware/mixartloader, depending to the prefix
|
|
|
|
|
option of configure). There will be *.conf files, which define the dsp image

|
|
|
files for each different card type.
