Audio Back End
This article is a stub and needs expanding.
ABE is part of omap4 (all variants) and omap5, and does not appear to have changed in any major way since its introduction.
components:
- external interfaces
- mcpdm: custom interface to TWL6040/TWL6041 audio IC - dmic: microphone interfaces - mcbsp1-3, mcasp: digital audio interfaces - slimbus1: defeatured on omap5
- timers (gptimer5-8, wdt3)
- audio engine subsystem (aess): dedicated custom DSP
The AE is the core of the ABE subsystem. It performs the real-time audio processing within the ABE: mixing, muxing, volume control, smooth muting, sampling rate conversion, and side-tone equalization.
