Problem with configuration I2S interface

Hi everybody!

I used external codec ADAU1961 for collect data from two microphones.

I used I2S3 simplex mode for receiving data from codec to STM32F4.

I configured lines of peripheral I2S3 for transmition (WS - Word Select, CK - Serial Clock, SD - Serial Data).

I connected to the codec external master clock MCLK=12.288MHz.

I configured codec for sending sound in parameters: fs=48kHz, 2 channels, format data: 16-bit.

I2S is configured as slave only for receiving data and codec is configured as master only for sending data.

I try to store data in buffer and send it to SD Card.

I always receive noise instead of proper probes of sound through I2S3.

I have a questions:

1. Need I connect master clock MCLK=12.288MHz also to pin I2S_CKIN mapped on PC9 in STM32F4.

2. How I have to configure pin I2S_CKIN? I configured it as follow:

GPIO_InitTypeDef GPIO_InitStructure;

RCC_I2SCLKConfig(RCC_I2S2CLKSource_Ext);

GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOC, GPIO_PinSource9, GPIO_AF_SPI3);

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Pin = GPIO_Pin_9;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Mode = GPIO_Mode_AF;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_Speed = GPIO_Speed_50MHz;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_OType = GPIO_OType_PP;

GPIO_InitStructure.GPIO_PuPd = GPIO_PuPd_UP;

GPIO_Init(GPIOC, &GPIO_InitStructure);

3. How can I properly configure I2S3 for receiving data. I filled I2S_InitTypeDef structure as follow:

I2S_InitTypeDef I2S_InitStructure;

I2S_InitStructure.I2S_AudioFreq = I2S_AudioFreq_48k;

I2S_InitStructure.I2S_Standard = I2S_Standard_Phillips;

I2S_InitStructure.I2S_MCLKOutput = I2S_MCLKOutput_Disable;

I2S_InitStructure.I2S_CPOL = I2S_CPOL_Low;

I2S_InitStructure.I2S_DataFormat = I2S_DataFormat_16b;

I2S_InitStructure.I2S_Mode = I2S_Mode_SlaveRx;

I2S_Init(I2Sx, &I2S_InitStructure);

I2S_Cmd(I2Sx, ENABLE);

I use polling mode for receiving probes:

while (SPI_I2S_GetFlagStatus(SPI3, SPI_FLAG_TXE) == RESET) {}

buffer[i] = SPI_I2S_ReceiveData(SPI3);

SPI_I2S_ClearFlag(SPI3, SPI_I2S_FLAG_TXE);

Could anybody know what I'm doing wrong?

Mayby I wrong configure codec ADAU1961?

I will be very happy for any suggestions.

Best regards!

I have no experience with using I2S purely as slave, but at least the following is wrong:

> GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOC, GPIO_PinSource9, GPIO_AF_SPI3);

as I2S_CKIN is at AF5 (i.e. you should've used GPIO_AF_SPI2).

It also confuses me that you wrote that the I2S pins are configured for ''transmitting'', while the CODEC is the master (i.e. all 3 pins of the MCU (word clock, bit clock and data)) should be inputs.

I also can't quite imagine debugging I2S without an oscilloscope or logic analyzer, which should reveal whether the CODEC is configured properly or no.

Ok, tkanks for advice.

I configured I2S_CKIN at AF5 as you suggested: GPIO_PinAFConfig(GPIOC, GPIO_PinSource9, GPIO_AF_SPI2).

It means, that only interface I2S2/SPI2 can accept external clock and works in mode SlaveRx for receiving data from codec?

No. While it is not absolutely clear from the datasheet, it appears, that both I2S modules have a common clock source, which can be selected from either internal clock from the dedicated I2S PLL, or the external clock through the I2S_CKIN pin.

> and works in mode SlaveRx for receiving data from codec?

This is even less clear, but I would say that you don't need any clock if you use the I2S modules purely as slave. This would need to be confirmed experimentally, though.

Thanks a lot for information.

So, now I still don't know why I'm receiving wrong data. I consider using oscyloscope for visualing singals on buses. To be sure, could you tell me how I can properly configure peripherial I2S for working in slave receive mode and accept data in format ( fs=48kHz, bits per probe = 16, number of channels = 2(stereo).

If you have a time, could you also take a look on datasheet of codec ADAU1961 and mostly on registers which I should configure. I connect two differential micropones on pins LINN LINP and RINP RINN.

Best regards!
