ISO Channels used: 2
0x0 (recv) = (capture)
0x1 (send) = (playback)

To initialise the device it seems you need to do the following:

Write: R003_BASE_ADDR + R003_STREAMS_W_REG,   R003_STREAMS_INIT

Wait until:

Read:  R003_BASE_ADDR + R003_STREAMS_R_REG 

returns

R003_STREAMS_OFF

Once this is done, the 1394 link light starts flashing on the device.

Then set the samplerate and clock source, eg 48000/internal clock

Write: R003_BASE_ADDR + R003_SAMPLERATE_REG,  R003_SAMPLERATE_48000
Write: R003_BASE_ADDR + R003_CLOCKSOURCE_REG, R003_CLOCK_INTERNAL

Then activate the streams:

Write: R003_BASE_ADDR + R003_STREAMS_W_REG,   R003_STREAMS_ON

Wait until:

Read:  R003_BASE_ADDR + R003_STREAMS_R_REG 

returns

R003_STREAMS_ON

and then read the clocksource register to activate the stream:

Read: R003_BASE_ADDR + R003_CLOCKSOURCE_REG

Now the device expects some playback frames to be sent to it immediately, and once the buffer fills up the capture stream will activate automatically. I am unsure exactly how many frames it requires, although I have observed 4 packets of 540 bytes long in one instance. I do believe overshooting this number will not hurt, it will just play the extra frames of silence.

Iso packets from the device are supposed to look like this:

These are standard CIP packets (with some missing fields) containing standard AMDTP data.

The first two quadlets of each iso packet are the CIP header:

bitsmeaning
31-30 00
29-24 should be source node ID, here 0
23-16 data block size in quadlets
15-8 00000000
7-0 data block count
31-30 10
29-24 format, 010000 = audio/music
23-16 format-dependent field: 00000xxx for "AM824"-labeled data, x = 32/44.1/48/88.2/96/176.4/192/reserved kHz
15-0 should be synchronization timestamp, here 0

A "data block" is all the data of one audio frame; e.g., at a rate of 44.1 kHz, there are 44100 data blocks per second, somehow distributed over 8000 FireWire iso packets.

The data block count is the number of the first data block in the packet, modulo 256; this is intended to help detecting missing packets.

Labeled AM824 data is 40xxxxxx for a 24-bit PCM sample, or 80000000 for no MIDI data, or 81xx0000 for one MIDI byte. Every eighth MIDI quadlet is for one MIDI port, i.e., (up to) eight MIDI channels are multiplexed into one AM824 channel. (The Digi003 is unusual in that the MIDI quadlet is first in the data block, not last.)

FFADO's AMDTP streaming processors should be able to handle this.


It seems that after patching libraw1394 with the start_cycle patch, the iso streams turn on.

Since the maximum number of bytes the device can stream is 624 per packet, and there are 8000 iso firewire packets per second, and the device only supports 8 frames per packet, the maximum sample rate is 48000Hz using all 19 channels. I believe the device does not support ADAT channels in modes above 48000Hz.


I have written a working ffado driver for playback. However there is one glitch: the device keeps sending the following async packet (during iso transmission) to the host expecting a response, and I don't know how to handle it, the pc just returns address error and the device continues sending the packets interrupting playback... :|

dest=0xffc2 (PC), write_block_request, src=0xffc1 (003Rack), offs=0xffff00000040, data=[00007051]
                                                             offs=0xXXXXXXXXXXXX
data=[00007058] if the stream dies.

where XXXXXXXXXXXX is a configurable address using a control packet which I have worked out.


003 Rack Internal Mixer

I have worked out the commands to route audio from any input channel to either Analog 1 out, Analog 2 out or centred over these two channels in a stereo panned mode for zero latency monitoring of any input.

Basically, you set two registers per channel in one of three valid combinations:

Set channel type x, number y to no passthrough:

Write: R003_MIX_x_yL, R003_MIX_NONE
Write: R003_MIX_x_yR, R003_MIX_NONE

Set channel type x, number y to centred stereo over channels 1+2:

Write: R003_MIX_x_yL, R003_MIX_1_TO_STEREO
Write: R003_MIX_x_yR, R003_MIX_1_TO_STEREO

Set channel type x, number y to passthrough to channel 1 only:

Write: R003_MIX_x_yL, R003_MIX_1_TO_1
Write: R003_MIX_x_yR, R003_MIX_NONE

Set channel type x, number y to passthrough to channel 2 only:

Write: R003_MIX_x_yL, R003_MIX_NONE
Write: R003_MIX_x_yR, R003_MIX_1_TO_1

MIDI Control of front panel and solo/mutes

According to the 003 Rack documentation, the device responds to MIDI control messages to drive the switches on the front panel, as well as added features such as software faders and solo/mutes for each channel via MIDI (though I don't know if the latter is just for controlling the software, or if it does it in hardware, although I have noticed channels muting on and off when I send audio data down the midi port by mistake).
