I configured the kernel to use the i2c-gpio driver, which is a software implementation of I2C. This uses the same pins as the jz_i2c driver, so don't try to enable both at the same time.

Now the Chrontel chip (0x76) shows up, in addition to 3 others (or 2 others if 0x10/0x11 is 1 chip):

/ # i2cdetect -l
i2c-0   i2c             i2c-gpio-1                              I2C adapter
/ # i2cdetect i2c-gpio-1
WARNING! This program can confuse your I2C bus, cause data loss and worse!
I will probe file /dev/i2c-0.
I will probe address range 0x03-0x77.
Continue? [Y/n]

The GPIO pins to be used for I2C have to be declared in a data structure by the board initialization code. See the end of this commit for details.

Alright! Now when actually reading/writing to the part, the 0x76 will be shifted 1 bit left ((0x76 << 1) | RW). But you probably already know that  ;)

I opened my dingoo yesterday and I noticed a few other chips but I didn't actually look at them. I bet one of them has to do with audio and it is probably I2C controlled. But I didn't pay attention enough to notice what else would be on the bus - not that it matters very much for the TV Out, I would think.

Actually I had no idea of how I2C worked before yesterday. Linux takes care of the low-level I/O, but it's still good to know what is going on for debugging and to be able to read data sheets.

I integrated the jz_i2c driver from OpenInkpot; thanks to Lars-Peter for the tip. When running i2cdetect in its default mode, I get the same results as SiENcE. But when adding the "-r" option I see only 0x10, 0x60 and 0x76 listed as devices (not 0x11), which looks a lot more believable.

However, I only see 0xFF being read from the device at 0x76 when using i2cdump or i2cget. I even tried writing 0 to register 2 (register bank switch), but that didn't help.

If you are reading only 0xFF's, that means the reads are not done correctly - the device is not responding - you are simply reading the logic 1's produced by the pullup resistors...

I will do a little bit of digging and get back to you.

It was exported as html but I can't figure out if I can put that in...

Also, there is some missing, I think. I have not even looked at the transfers yet. I will do that in a few and then work out how to get any missing data....

--edit
After looking at it I see there is some missing. I will try to cut the sample speed from 5 to 2MHz. That will give me more sample depth but it will cut down on resolution.

This is what I have checked out so far. I am a bit under the weather so I am trying to take it easy.

Code: [Select]
R/W Addr Value Notes
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
W 03 00 Put chip into reset
W 03 03 Release from reset
R 00 45 Unsure about this - Does a write to 00 and a read
W 0B 03 Setup up for a 12MHz clock
R 00 45 Another one like above (only two reads that I have sniffed so far)
W 04 0C Powers down the DACs
W 0A 13 CVBS format & NTSC_443
W 0B 03 12MHz again
W 0C 00 Input data format reg 1
W 0D 03 Input data format reg 2

Any more progress or still under weather psycho? BTW if no one has said it I think we all appreciate your hard work on trying to figure this out for us...

I thought there were others working on it. Actually, I have to figure out why the dual boot loader won't work for me. I ran through the installation and when I press select and reset it, it just boots into the native OS.

Like I said, I can help but I don't know enough to work in linux. I could try to put together some tests in the native OS, but I am not sure it would do all that much good.

First of all thank you for your efforts on TV out.

Have you already gone through the installtion proccess of Dingux? If so you will just need to press SELECT while the Dingux splash screen shows up when you power on / resets the A320.

I have ran the dual boot installer process but it seems as though it didn't work right. I used 32bit win7 so I think I will try it on an XP box.

No - it just boots into the native OS. The dual-boot loader must not have been burned properly.

I am not sure how relevant this information is to the TV out, but is something I found out by accident.  When running dingux gmu (for listening to music via mp3's), I noticed that there was some odd background noise (if you hit play then pause there is a slight hiss in the background with occasional pops).  I thought this to be odd and had come to the conclusion that my power filter caps were probably starting to go (or were cheap).  BUT I accidentally plugged my headphones into the TV out and noticed the same thing.  I have not tested any theories on this, but I am wondering if the hissing/popping could be caused by the TV out functionality (ie if the tv out is getting a power signal sent to it just not processing the image properly)?
I am going to test this theory more soon (I have a few ideas on things).
