Topology2: introduction to topology2.0
About
-----
This is a high level keyword extension on top of the existing ALSA conf
topology format designed to:
1) Simplify the ALSA conf topology definitions by providing high level
"classes" so topology designers need to write less config for common
object definitions.
2) Allow simple reuse of objects. Define once and reuse (like M4) with
the ability to alter objects configuration attributes from defaults.
3) Allow data type and value verification. This is not done today and
frequently crops up in FW bug reports.
Common Topology Classes
-----------------------
Topology today has some common classes that are often reused throughout
with slightly altered configurations. i.e. widgets (components),
pipelines, dais and controls.
This PR introduces the high level concept of reusable "class" like
definitions that can be used to create topology objects e.g.
Class.Component - Class for widgets that can be instantiated by pipeline
classes/objects. See volume.conf, buffer.conf, host.conf, dai.conf in
<include/components>
Class.Pipeline - Class for pipelines that can be instantiated in the
top-level conf files. See pipeline-volume.conf in <include/pipelines>
Class.DAI - Class for DAIs such as SSP/DMIC/HDA etc.
See ssp.conf in <include/dais>
Class.Control- Class for mixers, byte controls, enum controls etc.
See mixer.conf in <include/controls>
Class.Base - Class for generic objects that cannot be inherited and
are not usually instantiated as stand-alone objects but embedded within
classes/objects of the above types.
Ex: hw_config class for SSP hw_config params,
see ssp_hw_config.conf in <include/dais>
Common Topology Attributes
--------------------------
Topology defines a lot of attributes per object with different types and
constraints. Today there is no easy way to validate type or constraints
and this can lead to many hard to find problems in FW at runtime.
A new keyword "DefineAttribute" has been added to define attribute type,
size, min value, max value, enum_values. This then allows alsatplg to
validate each topology object attribute.
Topology Classes define the list of attributes that they use and whether
the attribute is mandatory, can be overridden by parent users or is
immutable. This also helps alsatplg emit the appropriate errors for
attribute misuse.
Common Topology Arguments
-------------------------
Arguments are used to pass essential data needed for instantiating an
object particulary needed for the object name. Ex: host."5.playback".
The first part in the object name stands for the class name “host” and
the remaining “5.playback” stand for the 3 arguments needed to
instantiate the host object i.e.. pipeline_id, , direction.
ALSA Conf Parser
----------------
All the changes being proposed and discussed here must be 100% compliant
with the ALSA conf parser. i.e. no syntax changes or changes to semantics
for any existing keyword.
It's intended that there will be NO changes to the ALSA conf parser
(unless new keywords require this ?) and all topology building changes
will be in the alsatplg compiler.
alsatplg Compiler
-----------------
The alsatplg compiler requires changes to construct and validate objects
based on the new keywords. No changes to existing keywords. Existing
topologies will not require any changes. The only two new keywords
proposed at the top-level are “Class” and “Object”. All other keywords
for class arguments and attributes are limited within the tplg2 compiler
changes. Topology2 compiler changes also re-uses most of the code in the
conf parser for parsing the configuration for widgets, controls, DAI,
hw_config, backends etc.
Opens
-----
Add platform constraints and capabilities and include them so that
alsatplg can apply these platform constraints on top of existing class
attribute constraints such as valid SSP port number is 3 or 6 depending
on the platform.
