Codec_board

Overview

codec_board is a simple implementation of board support for a variety of ESP32 series boards. Its main purpose is to:

• Gather board-specific peripheral settings from user.
• Add drivers for the supported peripherals.
• Provide high-level APIs to interact with the peripherals or abstract the peripherals into manageable handles.

Supported Peripherals

• Codec
  Currently support ES8311, ES8388, ES7210, ES7243, user can add other codec also.
  After init_codec is called, codec is abstracted into esp_codec_dev handle.
  Then use can use esp_codec_dev API to do playback and record.
  Simple configuration of codec as:

out: {codec: ES8311, pa: 38, use_mclk: 0, pa_gain:6}
in: {codec: ES7210, i2s_port: 1}

• SDcard
  Users can configure SDCard related GPIO then use API mount_sdcard to mount sdcard to use it.
  SDcard configuration as:

sdcard: {clk: 43, cmd: 44, d0: 39, d1: 40, d2: 41, d3: 42}

• Camera
  Currently support DVP and MIPI camera, use can get camera settings use API get_camera_cfg

• LCD
  Currently only support LCD on S3_Korvo_V2 and ESP32_P4_FUNCTION_EV. User can get LCD handle through API board_get_lcd_handle after board_lcd_init

Customized a New Board

To reuse the pre-defined devices, follow these steps:

1. Add a new section to the board_cfg.txt file and modify corresponding GPIO settings as needed.
2. Call set_codec_board_type with the name of the newly added section.
   For new devices, you will need to manually modify the code.

Comparison with esp-bsp

esp-bsp supports almost all devices carried on board while this module only support media related devices. It provides a quick verification option if reusing the same device with different GPIO settings. Users can easily replace this module with esp-bsp by making the following substitutions:

• bsp_audio_codec_speaker_init: Replaces get_playback_handle
• bsp_audio_codec_microphone_init: Replaces get_record_handle
• bsp_display_new: Replaces board_get_lcd_handle
