Fireface UCX transfers asynchronous transactions for MIDI messages.
One transaction includes quadlet data therefore it can transfer 3
message bytes as maximum. Base address of the destination is
configured by two settings; a register for higher 8 byte of the
address, and a bitflag to option register indicates lower 8byte.
The register for higher address is 0x'ffff'0000'0034. Unfortunately,
firmware v24 includes a bug to ignore registered value for the
destination address and transfers to 0x0001xxxxxxxx always. This
driver doesn't work well if the bug exists, therefore users should
install the latest firmware (v27).
The bitflag is a part of value to be written to option register
(0x'ffff'0000'0014).
lower addr: bitflag (little endian)
'0000'0000: 0x00002000
'0000'0080: 0x00004000
'0000'0100: 0x00008000
'0000'0180: 0x00010000
This register includes more options but they are not relevant to
packet streaming or MIDI functionality. This driver don't touch it.
Furthermore, the transaction is sent to address offset incremented
by 4 byte to the offset in previous time. When it reaches base address
plus 0x7c, next offset is the base address.
Content of the transaction includes a prefix byte. Upper 4 bits of
the byte indicates port number, and the rest 4 bits indicate the way
to decode rest of bytes for MIDI message.
Except for system exclusive messages, the rest bits are the same as
status bits of the message without channel bits. For system exclusive
messages, the rest bits are encoded according to included message bytes.
For example:
message: f0 7e 7f 09 01 f7
offset: content (little endian, port 0)
'0000: 0x04f07e7f
'0004: 0x070901f7
message: f0 00 00 66 14 20 00 00 00 f7
offset: content (little endian, port 1)
'0014: 0x14f00000
'0018: 0x14661420
'001c: 0x14000000
'0020: 0x15f70000
message: f0 00 00 66 14 20 00 00 f7
offset: content (little endian, port 0)
'0078: 0x04f00000
'007c: 0x04661420
'0000: 0x070000f7
This commit supports decoding scheme for the above and allows
applications to receive MIDI messages via ALSA rawmidi interface.
The lower 8 bytes of destination address is fixed to 0x'0000'0000,
thus this driver expects userspace applications to configure option
register with bitflag 0x00002000 in advance.

In Fireface series, drivers can register destination address for
asynchronous transaction which transfers MIDI messages from device.
In former models, all of the transactions arrive at the registered
address without any offset. In latter models, each of the transaction
arrives at the registered address with sequential offset within 0x00
to 0x7f. This seems to be for discontinuity detection.
This commit adds model-dependent member for the address range.

This commit adds a functionality to multiplex PCM frames into isochronous
packets and demultiplex PCM frames from isochronous packets for ALSA PCM
applications.
Fireface 800 voluntarily maintains resources for tx isochronous
communication. It performs reservation of isochronous channel and
allocation/update of bandwidth in some cases below:
- at a first request to allocation after bus resets
- at requests to allocation when further bandwidth is required
When request is grant and the unit is prepared, read data from
0x0000801c0008 represents isochronous channel for tx stream, then
the unit can handle requests to start communication. If driver
send the request without checking the register, the unit takes
panic to continue bus resets. The unit starts transmission of
tx packets after receiving several rx packets from driver.
I note that the unit can process tx/rx packets and generate/record
sound regardless of HOST LED.

Fireface 800 is a flagship model of RME GmbH for audio and music units
on IEEE 1394 bus, shipped 2004. This model consists of four chips:
- TI TSB81BA3D for physical layer on cable environment of EEE 1394 bus
- TI TSB82AA2 for link layer for 1394 OHCI bus bridge to PCI bus
- Xilinx Spartan-3 FPGA XC3S400
- Xilinx High-Performance CPLD XC9572XL
This commit adds support Fireface 800. In this time, the support is
restricted to its MIDI functionality, thus this commit adds some
condition statements to avoid touching streaming functionality.

Fireface 400 and 800 have the same mechanism to decide address to which
asynchronous transactions are sent for MIDI messages, however they use

Additionally, it corrects some comments. I note that these two models have

At present, in .remove callback of bus driver just decrease reference

At present, private data of each driver in ALSA firewire stack is
allocated/freed by kernel slab allocator for corresponding unit on
IEEE 1394 bus. In this case, resource-managed slab allocator is
available to release memory object automatically just before releasing
device structure for the unit. This idea can prevent runtime from
memory leak due to programming mistakes.
This commit uses the allocator for the private data. These drivers

This commit adds PCM functionality to transmit/receive PCM frames on
isochronous packet streaming. This commit enables userspace applications
to start/stop packet streaming via ALSA PCM interface.
Sampling rate requested by applications is used as sampling transmission
frequency of IEC 61883-1/6packet streaming. As I described in followed
commits, units in this series manages sampling clock frequency
independently of sampling transmission frequency, and they supports
resampling between their packet streaming/data block processing layer and
sampling data processing layer. This commit take this driver to utilize
these features for usability.
When internal clock is selected as source signal of sampling clock, this
driver allows user space applications to start PCM substreams at any rate
which packet streaming engine supports as sampling transmission frequency.
In this case, this driver expects units to perform resampling PCM frames
for rx/tx packets when sampling clock frequency and sampling transmission
frequency are mismatched. This is for daily use cases.
When any external clock is selected as the source signal, this driver
gets configured sampling rate from units, then restricts available
sampling rate to the rate for PCM applications. This is for studio use
cases.
Models in this series supports 64.0/128.0 kHz of sampling rate, however
these frequencies are not supported by IEC 61883-6 as sampling transmission
frequency. Therefore, packet streaming engine of ALSA firewire stack can't
handle them. When units are configured to use any external clock as source
signal of sampling clock and one of these unsupported rate is configured
as rate of the sampling clock, this driver returns EIO to user space
applications.
Anyway, this driver doesn't voluntarily configure parameters of sampling
clock. It's better for users to work with appropriate user space
implementations to configure the parameters in advance of usage.

This commit adds management functionality for packet streaming.
As long as investigating Fireface 400, there're three modes depending
on sampling transmission frequency. The number of data channels in each
data block is different depending on the mode. The set of available
data channels for each mode might be different for each protocol and
model.
The length of registers for the number of isochronous channel is just
three bits, therefore 0-7ch are available.
When bus reset occurs on IEEE 1394 bus, the device discontinues to
transmit packets. This commit aborts PCM substreams at bus reset handler.
As I described in followed commits, The device manages its sampling clock
independently of sampling transmission frequency against IEC 61883-6.
Thus, it's a lower cost to change the sampling transmission frequency,
while data fetch between streaming layer and DSP require larger buffer
for resampling. As a result, device latency might tend to be larger than
ASICs for IEC 61883-1/6 such as DM1000/DM1100/DM1500 (BeBoB),
DiceII/TCD2210/TCD2220/TCD3070 and OXFW970/971.

As long as investigating Fireface 400, MIDI messages are transferred by
asynchronous communication over IEEE 1394 bus.
Fireface 400 receives MIDI messages by write transactions to two addresses;
0x'0000'0801'8000 and 0x'0000'0801'9000. Each of two seems to correspond to
MIDI port 1 and 2.
Fireface 400 transfers MIDI messages by write transactions to certain
addresses which configured by drivers. The drivers can decide upper 4 byte
of the addresses by write transactions to 0x'0000'0801'03f4. For the rest
part of the address, drivers can select from below options:
* 0x'0000'0000
* 0x'0000'0080
* 0x'0000'0100
* 0x'0000'0180
Selected options are represented in register 0x'0000'0801'051c as bit
flags. Due to this mechanism, drivers are restricted to use addresses on
'Memory space' of IEEE 1222, even if transactions to the address have
some side effects.
This commit adds transaction support for MIDI messaging, based on my
assumption that the similar mechanism is used on the other protocols. To
receive asynchronous transactions, the driver allocates a range of address
in 'Memory space'. I apply a strategy to use 0x'0000'0000 as lower 4 byte
of the address. When getting failure from Linux FireWire subsystem, this
driver retries to allocate addresses.
Unfortunately, read transaction to address 0x'0000'0801'051c returns zero
always, however write transactions have effects to the other features such
as status of sampling clock. For this reason, this commit delegates a task
to configure this register to user space applications. The applications
should set 3rd bit in LSB in little endian order.

Just after appearing on IEEE 1394 bus, this unit generates several bus

This commit schedules workqueue to process actual probe processing
