The board I'm testing on is this: https://www.adafruit.com/product/3346
which does not have SD_MODE wired to GPIO (schematic is here:
https://www.adafruit.com/product/3346). I agree this should ideally
be wired to GPIO as described in the max98357 datasheet to enable the
click and pop suppression feature, however there are still problems
with the clock initialization this patch addresses:
1) In bcm2835_i2s_hw_params() BCLK is enabled before the FIFO is
cleared causing residual data in the FIFO to be transmitted when BCLK
is initialized.
2) Also in bcm2835_i2s_hw_params() BCLK is enabled before the frame
size is configured in MODE_A or DMA is initialized. This causes the
i2s controller to transmit a data frame many thousands of bits long,
violating the 0.5*BCLK < t < 0.5*LRCLK requirement of the max98357
datasheet.
I think the driver should separate clock initialization from output
enable and only start trasmitting once everything is initialized and
there is data to transmit.
Do you have more details about what setups require BCLK output after
prepare()? I have access to a PCM5101A DAC, but I have not tested it
yet.
