SYNOPSIS

*alsatplg* <options> [command]

|
DESCRIPTION
|
|
===========
|
|
|
|
alsatplg (ALSA Topology compiler) is a program to compile topology
|
|
configuration file to the binary file for the kernel drivers.
|
|
|
|
Current audio drivers typically hard code topology information
|
|
in the driver sources: This tightly couples the audio driver
|
|
to the development board making it time consuming to modify
|
|
a driver to work on a different devices. The driver is also
|
|
tightly coupled to the DSP firmware version meaning extra care
|
|
is needed to keep the driver and firmware version in sync.
|
|
New firmware features also mean driver updates.
|
|
|
|
The ALSA topology project removes the need for re-writing or
|
|
porting audio drivers to different devices or different firmwares:
|
|
Drivers have no hard coded topology data meaning a single driver
|
|
can be used on different devices by updating the topology data
|
|
from the file system. Firmware updates can be pushed without
|
|
having to update the drivers. The new firmware just needs
|
|
to include an updated topology file describing the update.

FILES
|
|
=====
|
|
|
|
The master topology files for each supported sound card are in
|
|
``/usr/share/alsa/topology``.
|
|
|
|
For example, the master use case file for the `broadwell` card is in
|
|
``/usr/share/alsa/topology/broadwell/broadwell.conf``, this file
|
|
describes the audio hardware for the driver.
|
|
