Hi all,

I need to work on the SLIMbus interface on a Linux platform. As part
of my study, I see that in the Linux kernel, the SLIMbus interface is
managed by the drivers/slimbus directory.

I would like to inquire if there are any additional device drivers
required to comprehensively test the SLIMbus interface on a Linux
platform beyond those listed in the drivers/slimbus directory.

SLIMbus is used as audio transport interface on some of the Qualcomm SoCs.
Qualcomm Codecs (WCD9335, WCD934x and some of the BT Codecs) use SLIMBus as primary interface.

w.r.t to testing, its audio end-to-end usecase.


Additionally, I am seeking information on existing user space test
utilities that can be used to test the SLIMbus interface on Linux. Any
references or recommendations for such utilities would be greatly
appreciated.
Am afraid am not aware of any tools that are public.
