CS47L63: Failed to reset CS47L63

Hi,

There might be problem with SPI communication. You could try to look into SD card code which also uses SPI in audio application.

Best regards,
Dejan

Took the codec files, put them in a separate project and called the hw_codec_init() function, thats it. This works perfectly fine without any errors, and I even tried writing a tone generator config to the codec and that worked as well.

[quote userid="111786" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/119648/cs47l63-failed-to-reset-cs47l63/526722"]Which board did you use for testing?[/quote]

We are using our custom PCB for testing, the interfaces are quite the same as the nRF5340 Audio DK. (I'm attaching the PCB images below)

This is everything I have noticed with the audio application as of now:

(Toolchain v2.9.0, SDK v2.9.0): The entire application code works perfectly fine on the audio dk. But on custom PCB, the HW Codec fails to initialize in the application code, however if I run the hw codec code separately without enabling any other interfaces, it works perfectly fine.

Here's the entire application log

Hi,

[quote user="SohamGhugare"]isolating the same function and running it separately works perfectly fine. I even tried isolating and printing the device id, it prints correctly, but with the audio application it just prints 0x00.[/quote]

Can you provide additional details about this? What did you do exactly when you isolated the function, and it ran fine? Which board did you use for testing?

Can you provide full application log?

Best regards,
Dejan

Hey,

I tried the workaround, it didn't work either. I'm getting the same error of Failed to initialize HW codec.

[quote userid="111786" url="~/f/nordic-q-a/119648/cs47l63-failed-to-reset-cs47l63/526546"]Have you made any changes to hw_codec_init()?[/quote]

No, I haven't made any changes to the hw_codec_init function. As I said, isolating the same function and running it separately works perfectly fine. I even tried isolating and printing the device id, it prints correctly, but with the audio application it just prints 0x00.

Hi,

There was hardware limitation for the nrf5340_audio-dk hardware v1.0.0 where it was possible that CS47L63 AD-DA converter fails to start. Can you check if workaround described on the linked page fixes the issue in your case?

Have you made any changes to hw_codec_init()?

Best regards,
Dejan
