BC127 - audio malfunction

Hello,

We met an issue with malfunction audio feature on BC127 module. We have a device that works under uClinux system with ALSA driver bundled. So that we use BC127 I2S to play sounds in the following format: WAVE audio, Microsoft PCM, 16 bit, stereo 16000 Hz. Sending audio data to the I2S interface is performed with aplay command line utility.

Sounds may play correctly for a long period of time (several days). But sometimes BC127 module stops playing audio and responding for commands. Neither RESET command nor reset pin (/RST pin 44) helps. Also system software reset (via reboot command) was tried, but without any results. We may restore module’s normal operation only by hardware reset via power supply cycle. Some notes about using the RESET command - that can not be done after the BC127 stops playing audio as UART interface we use for configuration also does not respond to commands.

The following commands we use to set up BC127’s audio interface:
ROUTE 2
SET AUDIO_ANALOG=10 10 1 OFF

Audio interface is connected to TS4990 amplifier with 8 Ohm speaker.

You may find configuration options below:

UART configuration

  • baudrate: 9600 b/s (8-N-1)
