Creating a Pipeline

Figure 32 Creating a pipeline

The scheduling component (sched_comp) is configured by the driver inside the IPC request. It is usually set to the dai component id for pipelines that are attached to a dai instance and are driven by that dai’s IO events.

Executing an Operation

Most of the pipeline functions sets the operation id and executes a common routine, either component_op_downstream() in case of a playback path or component_op_upstream() otherwise.

Propagating the Operation Upstream

The comp_op_upstream() algorithm is identical except for the loop at the end that runs over the sources and calls itself recursively for producers.

Scheduling

A pipeline’s task (see _Processing_) may be scheduled at a certain point in time using pipeline_schedule_copy(start). In order to schedule the next stream copy operation in idle (see pre-loader), pipeline_schedule_copy_idle() should be used.
