How to get hda-tools or hda-analyzer to work in Fatdog?

[PappyPuppy]

When I execute the script python run.py (after downloading the .py's into the dev/shm directory which creates the hda-analyzer directory and populates it with the scripts: hda-analyzer, hda-graph, hda-codec, hda-proc, and a couple other .py scripts.

filename: /lib/modules/3.18.7/kernel/sound/core/snd-hwdep.ko

When it runs, I have to give it the path to snd-hwdep.ko or it won't even run.

The script only gives this output, and I suspect that since none of the environment variables are set - could that have something to do with it?

No HDA codecs were found or insufficient priviledges for
/dev/snd/controlC* and /dev/snd/hwdepC*D* device files.

You may also check, if you compiled HDA driver with HWDEP
interface as well or close all application using HWDEP.

Try run this program as root user.
Using temporary directory: /dev/shm/hda-analyzer
You may remove this directory when finished or if you like to
download the most recent copy of hda-analyzer tool.

Downloaded all files, executing hda_analyzer.py

None of the CONFIG_SND_xxx variables are set, including the ones below which I assume the tool hda-analyzer might want to use:

CONFIG_SND_HDA_INTEL=m
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_BEEP is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_INPUT_JACK is not set
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_PATCH_LOADER is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_REALTEK=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_ANALOG=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SIGMATEL=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_VIA=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_HDMI=y
# CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CIRRUS is not set
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CONEXANT=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CA0110=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_CMEDIA=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_CODEC_SI3054=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_GENERIC=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE=y
CONFIG_SND_HDA_POWER_SAVE_DEFAULT=20

Is there a way to install hda tools on Fatdog? Can I install either hda-tools or hda-analyzer somehow? The drivers seem to be there.

But who or what is supposed to pass those.

I guess it liked the one file I passed it. Should I keep looking for other drivers and keep putting them on the line?


I need to debug the perl script because I don't want to set all those config environment variables until I know wha to tset thm eot.

My bad - it's the method read nodes that's failing - I need to see why.

No, unless you want to build a custom kernel. hda-analyzer requires CONFIG_SND_HDA_HWDEP which is not enabled in Fatdog's kernel.

The hda-analyzer.py script has a section where it looks for information and does not find either of the below strings:

"ALSA Information Script"
"HDA-Intel Codec information"

[PappyPuppy]

I ran it and it created a diagnostics file in /tmp

/tmp/alsa-info.txt.sAUcdijdAY

It asked if I wanted to share/upload or save locally. I saved it. So this is half of what hda-analyzer.py might want. So I'll just run it without the HDA stuff for now, then I'l ltry it WITH the hda script if I cdan find it on some website.

Here goes ...

The below command populates the screen with information but I'm not sure that the driver is being found - perhaps I need to do more to get the driver displayed - this might be importan.
python run.py /proc/asound/card0/codec#0

It has Card1000, ProcID, ProcDriver, that kind of stuff - not exactly what it should have. But at least it has the info for each pin now.
