Note that everything below may vary depending on the exact DSP firmware used and different variants have slightly different behaviours.
The DSP communicates with the application through two shared memory areas 0x8000 bytes long each (at 0x1FF50000 and 0x1FF70000 respectively). The DSP alternates between the use of these two areas (much like a double-buffer). Each area has 15 structures within it. The location of these structures can be obtained by reading channel 2 of the DSP pipe. A list of structures in the order the DSP addresses are read from the pipe follows:
1. Frame count
2. Input configurations
3. Input status
4. Input ADPCM coefficients
5. DSP configuration
6. DSP status
7. Output samples
8. Intermediate mix samples
9. Compressor table
10. DSP debug statistics
11. Unknown Coefficients
12. Unknown Coefficients
13. Unknown Coefficients
14. Surround sound biquad filter 1
15. Surround sound biquad filter 2
The DSP has 24 inputs, each of which are individually configurable. These 24 inputs each produce three sets of 4 audio channels (two left, two right).
These four audio channels feed into three intermediate mixers. Two of these intermediate mixers are used for effects and aux.
Frame Count[edit]
The frame count of the first region must be even and the frame count of the second region must be odd.
The frame with the higher count is the "current region".
The DSP firmware only responds if the first frame count is 4.
Input Config[edit]
A 192 byte long structure. There are 24 of them.
Offset | Type | Description |
0 | u32 | Dirty flags |
4 | f32[3][2][2] | Input Gain (Each input has 12 channels) |
52 | f32 | Rate multiplier (1.0x == native DSP rate) |
56 | u8 | Interpolation mode |
57 | u8 | Polyphase filter select |
58 | u16 | bit[0]: Simple Filter enabled, bit[1]: Biquadratic Filter enabled |
60 | SimpleFilter | Simple Filter (One pole normalized recursive linear filter) |
64 | BiquadFilter | Biquadratic Filter (Two poles two zeros normalized recursive linear filter) |
74 | u16 | Bitmap of which buffers in queue are dirty |
76 | Buffer[4] | Buffer queue |
156 | u32 | - |
160 | u16 | Is Active |
162 | u16 | Sync Count |
164 | u32 | Play position |
168 | 4 | ? |
172 | u32 | Physical address of embedded buffer |
176 | u32 | Number of samples in embedded buffer |
180 | u16 | Format |
182 | AdpcmData | ADPCM data associated with embedded buffer |
188 | u16 | bit[0]: ADPCM updated?; bit[1]: Is looping?r |
190 | u16 | Buffer Id of embedded buffer |
There is a 2 sample delay in this preprocessing stage, likely due to the interpolation step.
Format[edit]
This is a u16.
Bits | Desciption |
0-1 | Number of channels: 0,1,3 = mono; 2 = stereo |
2-3 | Buffer codec: 0:PCM8; 1:PCM16; 2:ADPCM |
