Thus the arbiter defaults to +the video function at power-up and parks there during no requests for +bus access. This is desirable since the video will request the bus more +often. However, the audio will have highest bus access priority. Thus +the audio will have first access to the bus even when issuing a request +after the video request but before the PCI external arbiter has granted +access to the Bt879. Neither function can preempt the other once on the +bus. The duration to empty the entire video PCI FIFO onto the PCI bus is +very short compared to the bus access latency the audio PCI FIFO can +tolerate. + + +430FX Compatibility Mode +------------------------ + +When using the 430FX PCI, the following rules will ensure +compatibility: + + (1) Deassert REQ at the same time as asserting FRAME. + (2) Do not reassert REQ to request another bus transaction until after + finish-ing the previous transaction. + +Since the individual bus masters do not have direct control of REQ, a +simple logical-or of video and audio requests would violate the rules. +Thus, both the arbiter and the initiator contain 430FX compatibility +mode logic. To enable 430FX mode, set the EN_TBFX bit as indicated in +Device Control Register on page 104. + +When EN_TBFX is enabled, the arbiter ensures that the two compatibility +rules are satisfied. Before GNT is asserted by the PCI arbiter, this +internal arbiter may still logical-or the two requests. However, once +the GNT is issued, this arbiter must lock in its decision and now route +only the granted request to the REQ pin. The arbiter decision lock +happens regardless of the state of FRAME because it does not know when +FRAME will be asserted (typically - each initiator will assert FRAME on +the cycle following GNT). When FRAME is asserted, it is the initiator s +responsibility to remove its request at the same time. It is the +arbiters responsibility to allow this request to flow through to REQ and +not allow the other request to hold REQ asserted. The decision lock may +be removed at the end of the transaction: for example, when the bus is +idle (FRAME and IRDY). The arbiter decision may then continue +asynchronously until GNT is again asserted. + + +Interfacing with Non-PCI 2.1 Compliant Core Logic +------------------------------------------------- + +A small percentage of core logic devices may start a bus transaction +during the same cycle that GNT is de-asserted. This is non PCI 2.1 +compliant. To ensure compatibility when using PCs with these PCI +controllers, the EN_VSFX bit must be enabled (refer to Device Control +Register on page 104). When in this mode, the arbiter does not pass GNT +to the internal functions unless REQ is asserted. This prevents a bus +transaction from starting the same cycle as GNT is de-asserted. This +also has the side effect of not being able to take advantage of bus +parking, thus lowering arbitration performance.

Looks like some driver hacking is required. +Below is a do-it-yourself description for you. + +The bt8xx chips have 32 general purpose pins, and registers to control +these pins. One register is the output enable register +(BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN), it says which pins are actively driven by the +bt848 chip. Another one is the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA), where +you can get/set the status if these pins.

But every board is a little different. +These pins are also used by some companies to drive remote control +receiver chips. Some boards use the i2c bus instead of the gpio pins +to connect the mux chip. + +As mentioned above, there is a array which holds the required +informations for each known board. You basically have to create a new +line for your board. The important fields are these two: + +struct tvcard +{ + [ ... ] + u32 gpiomask; + u32 audiomux[6]; /* Tuner, Radio, external, internal, mute, stereo */ +}; + +gpiomask specifies which pins are used to control the audio mux chip. +The corresponding bits in the output enable register +(BT848_GPIO_OUT_EN) will be set as these pins must be driven by the +bt848 chip. + +The audiomux[] array holds the data values for the different inputs +(i.e. which pins must be high/low for tuner/mute/...). This will be +written to the data register (BT848_GPIO_DATA) to switch the audio +mux. + + +What you have to do is figure out the correct values for gpiomask and +the audiomux array.
