Audio

rpiwav

BCM2836/BCM2711

Working

The audio driver (rpiwav.sys) uses the PWM driver (bcm2836pwm.sys) exclusively. rpiwav.sys sends PCM audio packets to bmc2836pwm.sys to modulate and output over the right and left channels resulting in a stereo audio output.

HDMI Audio

rpi4hdmiwavbridge

BCM2711

Partial working

only the HDMI0 port is supported

Raspberry Pi 2 (BCM2836)  AUXSPI Controller

UART

pi_miniuart

BCM2836/BCM2711

Working

BCM283x Mini UART driver.
This is a Windows 10 device driver for the Broadcom proprietary version of the 16550 UART, available on the Pi 2 and 3. Due to lack of certain features present in the standard 16550 UART, the Broadcom version is called miniUart.

BCM2836

Working

VC4 HIQ

VCHIQ

BCM2836

Not working

This is the Video Core Host Interface Queue driver that is responsible to marshall communication with the GPU firmware. THe VCHIQ driver is main function is to provide the interface with firmware with various client such as MMAL.

UEFI

dsdtpatch

DSDT Patch:

  1. changes the _HIDs of the

  • PL011 controller to BCM2887

  • XHCI controller to RPI0D10

    so Windows won't install the incompatible inbox drivers instead of our own versions. This is not necessary if the drivers are properly signed.

  1. fixes the PWM definition and adds an analog audio device

  2. adds dummy HDMI controller and digital audio devices
