<p class=MsoNormal>Hello Developers,<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I am a newbie to the Linux development environment.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>We are porting Linux 2.6.25.4 to a platform which has ARM11
as its core processor. My job is to implement audio device driver.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Most of the docs are meant for PC audio which has sound
cards on PCI. And the source code resides in sound folder under the kernel
root.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Since mine is an embedded platform, where will my
architecture specific code resides?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Which all folders under sound folder will be used for
embedded devices and which APIs to look into?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Which APIs will be called for system sounds ?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Can anybody share their experience in implementing audio
device driver on embedded platforms?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Thanks a lot in advance.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>Regards,<o:p></o:p></p>
