Thinking about byuing a Rock64 and some question before - Osiander - 12-22-2017
Hello together,
I'm thinking about byuing a Rock64 with 4GB board for my next project.
Here are the "must haves" for my project:
- running mainline kernel
- hardware video decoding
- working I²S interface (just playback, so output)
- working I²C
- GPIO
Why is mainline a must have: the project is a kind of media center, but for a car and fully integrated into present bus system. To control and integrate them I have to implement an own kernel module for bus transceiver IC and I'm not in the mood to mess around with old stuff (like 3.x kernel).
I had a look into 4.14.8 kernel tree and find a DTS for Rock64, so I²C looks good. I²S is not enabled in this DTS, but in rk3328.dtsi is configured, as compatible to rk3066. The driver rockchip_i2s.c in sound/soc/rockchip/ defined as compatible to rk3066, so it looks promising.
Many thanks

Hi, it is probably easier to discuss a bit in the #rock64 IRC channel and summarize that here later...
