Abstract

See full text

Systems and methods implemented in a PC for enabling communication between an application executing on the CPU and a DSP that is incorporated into a codec in the High Definition Audio (HDA) system, wherein the communication is carried out via the HDA bus. In one embodiment, an HDA codec includes one or more conventional HDA widgets coupled to a programmable processor such as a DSP. The codec includes a set of registers that are configured to store HDA verbs and data transmitted via the HDA bus. The programmable processor is configured to identify verbs that indicate associated information is a communication from an application executing on the CPU, read the associated information, and process the information according to the associated verbs. The information may be program instructions, parametric data, requests for information, etc.
