Oh, I love it! Yet another reason to use ASI cards.

I'm pretty sure I'm using an ASI6012 card in one or two of my machines 
with Debian 6.0 (Squeeze) as the OS.

Re: [RDD] ASI 6012

2011-12-23 Thread Nathan Steele
Some more test results:

Card works fine in production room, installed it and it just worked, 
showed up in RDHPIInfo.

Installed card into the one actual PCI card slot in the PE6650 server. 
Card shows up in lspci and RDADMIN. Files will play. RDHPIInfo still 
says driver not loaded and wont open.

Installed second card with index jumper set to 2 in a different PCI-X 
slot than before. Card one is seen as above, card 2 not seen.

I really need two cards to work in this system.

Plan of action: I am now going to update the bios of the server and see 
if this will do the trick.

 Likely not even that.  The HPI drivers are already there, and should 'just 
 work'.
Why does it seem I am always the exception? Cards not recognized, trying 
to run hpiinfo gives mee an error the ASI HPI driver is not loaded. 
How do I load it? or do I need to install it?

 I just got a hand full of ASI 6012 Cards and have a few questions. I am
 using Rivendell 2.0.2 on centos, fromt he paravel broadcast appliance

 pulling the delta and installing 2 AS! 6012's to replace it?
 Pretty much, yes.  You may want to run RDAlsaConfig and disable any ALSA 
 devices so any built-in mobo devices don't get picked up, but it's not 
 essential.


 The ASI's have some jumper that seems to be for a card ID, like card 1, card 
 2. I
 can not find any reference to these jumpers on the asi page, only docs
 for that model are a datasheet that does not mention jumpers, only that
 up to 8 cards can be used in a single system.
 Basically, that's a card ID (called an 'Adapter Index' in the ASI docs).  
 Each ASI card in a given computer needs to have a unique ID.  If you only 
 have a single card in a computer, just leave it set to '1'.


 Obviously I will need to reconfigure the audio settings in rdadmin, but
 if I understand correctly, the HPI drivers are already installed?
 Likely not even that.  The HPI drivers are already there, and should 'just 
 work'.

True for most distros, but not CentOS.  RedHat has had a kernel versioning 
system in place since EL5 that permits kernel updates without breaking binary 
module compatibility.  See:

Agreed.  This is looking like a hardware problem.  :(

Just for grins, it might be worth trying it with just a single card installed.  
And then with the other one, by itself, too (I have seen an ASI card fail in a 
way where it keeps other things on the system from working as well).  In each

You might also try talking to the ASI folks about this, as it sounds like a

OK, I'll report my findings back. I also have some windows machines I

Just a long shot, but I was told once that some ASI cards have a jumper 
on them setting the voltage that comes off the ISA slot.  I don't know 
what vintage/format this card is but that might be worth a look...

It's pci, and is supposed to be compatible with 3.3v or 5v signaling. It 
is installed in a pci-x slot, also supposed to work like that. I will 
look for another jumper, thanks for the tip. I just got back from lunch 
and haven't tried anything since the last post, as always I'll let the

 Agreed.  This is looking like a hardware problem.  :(

 Just for grins, it might be worth trying it with just a single card 
 installed.  And then with the other one, by itself, too (I have seen an ASI 
 card fail in a way where it keeps other things on the system from working as

 Just a long shot, but I was told once that some ASI cards have a jumper
 on them setting the voltage that comes off the ISA slot.  I don't know
 what vintage/format this card is but that might be worth a look...

other than the Card ID jumpers there is one other jumper, near some 
voltage regulators and marked J9. I bet that is it, but I don't have and 
could not find any docs on the card, currently the jumper is hanging off 
1 pin. man I'd hate to burn up the card without knowing for 
sure.Guess I'll email ASI.

The jumper is not the problem, though that is what it is for.

Looks like the highest driver version that supports the ASI6012 is 3.08.06.

It also looks like I have 4.04.07 installed (see below) . Is this my 
problem? would that cause the cards to not be seen on lspci?  I am still 
doing some other tests, these dell servers take forever to reboot, and 
of course I have to shut down to mess with the cards.

That was the last driver that 'officially' supported that model.  However, 
according to http://www.audioscience.com/internet/download/linux_drivers.htm, 
the entire ASI60xx line should still work with 4.04.07, although not 
'officially' (whatever that may mean).


 It also looks like I have 4.04.07 installed (see below) .

Yes, you do, as per stock Broadcast Appliance.



 Is this my problem? would that cause the cards to not be seen on lspci?

No.  lspci(8) basically lists what the BIOS detected at boot time.  The Linux 
kernel uses that info to determine what drivers need to be loaded for each 
device.  If the device doesn't show there, then you have either a BIOS or 
hardware issue.

Cheers!

 Looks like the highest driver version that supports the ASI6012 is 3.08.06.

The linux driver still supports ASI6xxx up to the latest version.
Support was dropped from the windows driver some time ago,
but kept in the gnu/linux driver particularly to keep the good users of
Rivendell happy ;)

 
 It also looks like I have 4.04.07 installed (see below) . Is this my
 problem? would that cause the cards to not be seen on lspci?  

No. lspci should show the cards independent of what driver is installed.

In general, an AudioScience card will show up as one or more of these:
 03:00.0 PCI bridge: Texas Instruments XIO2000(A)/XIO2200(A) PCI 
 Express-to-PCI Bridge (rev 03)
 04:00.0 Multimedia audio controller: Texas Instruments TMS320C6414 
 TMS320C6415 TMS320C6416
 06:01.0 Multimedia audio controller: Texas Instruments PCI2040 PCI to DSP 
 Bridge Controller

In your case it should look like the 3rd one.


(BTW I'm off on vacation in about 5 minutes, so no followup for a while).

Always for official support you should email supp...@audioscience.com,
though depending on the origin and age of the cards, we may not be able
to offer extensive help.

PCI.  That's what I meant.  Senior moment, sorry.  Hope it's something 
simple like that...

 I just got a hand full of ASI 6012 Cards and have a few questions. I am 
 using Rivendell 2.0.2 on centos, fromt he paravel broadcast appliance 
 disk. I was formerly using an m-audio delta 1010. Is it as simple as 
 pulling the delta and installing 2 AS! 6012's to replace it?

Pretty much, yes.  You may want to run RDAlsaConfig and disable any ALSA 
devices so any built-in mobo devices don't get picked up, but it's not 
essential.


 The ASI's have some jumper that seems to be for a card ID, like card 1, card 
 2. I 
 can not find any reference to these jumpers on the asi page, only docs 
 for that model are a datasheet that does not mention jumpers, only that 
 up to 8 cards can be used in a single system.

Basically, that's a card ID (called an 'Adapter Index' in the ASI docs).  Each 
ASI card in a given computer needs to have a unique ID.  If you only have a 
single card in a computer, just leave it set to '1'.


 Obviously I will need to reconfigure the audio settings in rdadmin, but 
 if I understand correctly, the HPI drivers are already installed?

Likely not even that.  The HPI drivers are already there, and should 'just 
work'.

Cheers!
