RE: [EXT] Re: [PATCH] arm64: dts: ls1028a: put SAIs into async mode

[Alison Wang]

Hi, Michael,

In most of our cases, TX and RX are using the same BCLK and SYNC clocks. So the default synchronous mode (sync Rx with Tx) is used, which means both transmitter and receiver will send and receive data by following clocks of transmitter. It is verified on our boards.


Best Regards,
Alison Wang
