ConfigFS

Configure UAC gadget through configfs saved as a file named setup_uac.

UDC_NAME is “f8102800.usb” for USB 2.0 Controller.

UDC_NAME is “f80a1000.dwc3” for USB 3.0 Controller.

Test Configurations for USB 2.0 Gadget Audio

  1. Use an USB-A to Micro-USB cable to connect the Windows PC and the SP7350 platform.

  2. Plug an USB sound card to the USB 3.0 Type C port of the SP7350 platform and plug a earphone to the sound card.

  1. Use sudo sh setup_uac command to configure UDC (USB 2.0) as an UAC gadget.

sunplus@ubuntu:~$ sudo sh setup_uac
[sudo] password for sunplus:
sunplus@ubuntu:~$

  1. Use cat /proc/asound/cards command to show all sound cards of the SP7350 platform. The sound cards of 1 [UAC1Gadget] and 2 [Device] will be used for the test.

sunplus@ubuntu:~$ cat /proc/asound/cards
 0 [spaud          ]: sp-aud - sp-aud
                      Q645/Q654, Sunplus Technology Inc.
 1 [UAC1Gadget     ]: UAC1_Gadget - UAC1_Gadget
                      UAC1_Gadget 0
 2 [Device         ]: USB-Audio - USB Audio Device
                      C-Media Electronics Inc. USB Audio Device at usb-xhci-hcd.1.auto-1, full speed
sunplus@ubuntu:~$

In Device Manager of Windows PC, “Capture Input terminal (AC Interface)“ and “Speakers (AC Interface)“ will show up in Audio inputs and outputs. “AC Interface” will show up in Sound, video and game controllers.
