Shared boost allows two amplifiers to share a single boost circuit by

Shared Boost is not supported in HDA Systems.
Based on David Rhodes shared boost patches.

Ok I found a copy of David's internal patch which helps a litte.

David's internal patch appears to set 0x3000 on the active side,
not sure where that difference snuck in, or which is the correct
value. Your settings appear to make logical sense to me though, TX
on the active side, RX on the passive side.
Yes, I an e-mail David said that the passive was controlling the boost and out putting the value to the active one, but in the Documentation patch he sent the explanation was exactly the opposite.

Quote:
" The passive amplifier does not control the boost and receives data from the active amplifier."

And as the patch sets TX and RX in the same chip I changed to follow the documentation.


+ /* BST_CTL_SEL = CLASSH */

BST_CTL_SEL is in BSTCVRT_VCTRL1 (or BOOST_VOLTAGE_CFG, as it
is called in the datasheet, yay us for using the same names).
That does not mean this write is wrong, could just be the
comment, but what this does write is a bit odd so I would like
David to confirm this isn't some typo in his original patch.

I can't find BOOST_VOLTAGE_CFG on my datasheet, but BST_CTL_SEL is at 0x00003804 ( BSTCVRT_VCTRL2 / VBST_CTL_2 ).
This write here is to select the boost control source, which for the active should be "Class H tracking value".
So I still think this is correct.

Ditto here, comment doesn't match the write.

Same as above, re-write to be the passive, with RX not TX.

Are you sure this is what you want? In the case of powering up,
the sequence would end up being:

mdsync_down
-> sets GLOBAL_EN on
mdsync_up
-> sets GLOBAL_EN off
-> sets GLOBAL_EN on

Feels like mdsync_down should always turn global_enable off? But
again I don't know for sure. But then I guess why is there the
extra write to turn it off in mdsync_up?

For the disable case (DAPM turning everything off) SYNC and Global enable are off and the code hits

if (!enable)
break;

But for for enable case (DAPM turning everything On) the code continues enabling SYNC_EN, and turning off Global enable, as requested by
"4.10.1 Multidevice Synchronization Enable" page 70.
But as it is a enable path Global should be enabled again.

I can't see any sign of
GLOBAL_EN bouncing in David's internal patch.

Yes, but it is required by :
"4.10.1 Multidevice Synchronization Enable" page 70.

Thanks

Hm... this is a good point, probably would be nice to return an
error if the user sets a shared boost mode and a specific function
for the GPIO1 pin.
