Revision as of 21:59, 14 December 2020

Supported Avid devices include: Avid E3 Engine, Avid Stage 16

    1. Overview

carbonio is a Linux module that directly controls the audio I/O devices.

Audio settings that can be controlled: - Gain - Pad - Phase - Mute - Phantom

Non-audio settings that can be controlled: - LEDs on the Avid Stage 16 - The opamp (operational amplifier) for each channel.


    1. Devices
      1. /sys/bus/i2c/devices

Device numbers:

1 (bus 1)
generic
4 (bus 4)
carbonui

The `i2c*` commands don't seem to work on the carbonui devices.

      1. /sys/bus/spi/devices

Device overview:

spi1.[0-8]
channel gain and pad
spi2.[0-3]
unknown
spi3.[0-2]
unknown
spi4.0
power, mute, phantom, and status LEDs

The `_en` extension on some files represents "enable".

    • (\*1)** Each directory controls a bank of 4 channels. The directory 0 or 4: Ch 8-5, 1 or 5: Ch 4-1, 2: Ch 12-9 3: Ch 16-13). E.g., `spi1` channel #1 == `spi1.1/ch3_*`. **NOTE:** Changing file values directly will not be reflected in the VENUE UI.
    • (\*2)** The `preamp_gain` values are set to 0 before the device is first initialized by the E3 Engine.
    • /usr/bin/carbonui-util.sh**

This command seems to control the LEDs on the Avid S3 console using the `/sys/kernel/carbonui/oled` interface.


    1. Discovery
    • /usr/bin/carbonio-dump.sh**

Dumps the values of the IO board devices in /sys/bus/spi/devices.
