ASPEED video driver
===================
ASPEED Video Engine found on AST2400/2500/2600 SoC supports high performance
video compressions with a wide range of video quality and compression ratio
options. The adopted compressing algorithm is a modified JPEG algorithm.
There are 2 types of compressions in this IP.
* JPEG JFIF standard mode: for single frame and management compression
* ASPEED proprietary mode: for multi-frame and differential compression.
Support 2-pass (high quality) video compression scheme (Patent pending by
ASPEED). Provide visually lossless video compression quality or to reduce
the network average loading under intranet KVM applications.
VIDIOC_S_FMT can be used to choose which format you want. V4L2_PIX_FMT_JPEG
stands for JPEG JFIF standard mode; V4L2_PIX_FMT_AJPG stands for ASPEED
proprietary mode.
More details on the ASPEED video hardware operations can be found in
*chapter 6.2.16 KVM Video Driver* of SDK_User_Guide which available on
`github <https://github.com/AspeedTech-BMC/openbmc/releases/>`__.
The ASPEED video driver implements the following driver-specific control:
``V4L2_CID_ASPEED_HQ_MODE``
---------------------------
Enable/Disable ASPEED's High quality mode. This is a private control
that can be used to enable high quality for aspeed proprietary mode.

``V4L2_CID_ASPEED_HQ_JPEG_QUALITY``
-----------------------------------
Define the quality of ASPEED's High quality mode. This is a private control
that can be used to decide compression quality if High quality mode enabled
. Higher the value, better the quality and bigger the size.

Using camera sensor drivers
===========================
This section describes common practices for how the V4L2 sub-device interface is
used to control the camera sensor drivers.
You may also find :ref:`media_writing_camera_sensor_drivers` useful.
Sensor internal pipeline configuration
--------------------------------------
Camera sensors have an internal processing pipeline including cropping and
binning functionality. The sensor drivers belong to two distinct classes, freely
configurable and register list-based drivers, depending on how the driver
configures this functionality.
Freely configurable camera sensor drivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Freely configurable camera sensor drivers expose the device's internal
processing pipeline as one or more sub-devices with different cropping and
scaling configurations. The output size of the device is the result of a series
of cropping and scaling operations from the device's pixel array's size.
An example of such a driver is the CCS driver.
Register list-based drivers
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Register list-based drivers generally, instead of able to configure the device
they control based on user requests, are limited to a number of preset
configurations that combine a number of different parameters that on hardware
level are independent. How a driver picks such configuration is based on the
format set on a source pad at the end of the device's internal pipeline.
Most sensor drivers are implemented this way.
Frame interval configuration
----------------------------
There are two different methods for obtaining possibilities for different frame
intervals as well as configuring the frame interval. Which one to implement
depends on the type of the device.
Raw camera sensors
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Instead of a high level parameter such as frame interval, the frame interval is
a result of the configuration of a number of camera sensor implementation
specific parameters. Luckily, these parameters tend to be the same for more or
less all modern raw camera sensors.
The frame interval is calculated using the following equation::
frame interval = (analogue crop width + horizontal blanking) *
(analogue crop height + vertical blanking) / pixel rate
The formula is bus independent and is applicable for raw timing parameters on
large variety of devices beyond camera sensors. Devices that have no analogue
crop, use the full source image size, i.e. pixel array size.
Horizontal and vertical blanking are specified by ``V4L2_CID_HBLANK`` and
``V4L2_CID_VBLANK``, respectively. The unit of the ``V4L2_CID_HBLANK`` control
is pixels and the unit of the ``V4L2_CID_VBLANK`` is lines. The pixel rate in
the sensor's **pixel array** is specified by ``V4L2_CID_PIXEL_RATE`` in the same
sub-device. The unit of that control is pixels per second.
Register list-based drivers need to implement read-only sub-device nodes for the
purpose. Devices that are not register list based need these to configure the
device's internal processing pipeline.
The first entity in the linear pipeline is the pixel array. The pixel array may
be followed by other entities that are there to allow configuring binning,
skipping, scaling or digital crop, see :ref:`VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION
<VIDIOC_SUBDEV_G_SELECTION>`.
USB cameras etc. devices
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
USB video class hardware, as well as many cameras offering a similar higher
level interface natively, generally use the concept of frame interval (or frame
rate) on device level in firmware or hardware. This means lower level controls
implemented by raw cameras may not be used on uAPI (or even kAPI) to control the
frame interval on these devices.
Rotation, orientation and flipping
----------------------------------
Some systems have the camera sensor mounted upside down compared to its natural
mounting rotation. In such cases, drivers shall expose the information to
userspace with the :ref:`V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ROTATION
<v4l2-camera-sensor-rotation>` control.
Sensor drivers shall also report the sensor's mounting orientation with the
:ref:`V4L2_CID_CAMERA_SENSOR_ORIENTATION <v4l2-camera-sensor-orientation>`.
Sensor drivers that have any vertical or horizontal flips embedded in the
register programming sequences shall initialize the :ref:`V4L2_CID_HFLIP
<v4l2-cid-hflip>` and :ref:`V4L2_CID_VFLIP <v4l2-cid-vflip>` controls with the
values programmed by the register sequences. The default values of these
controls shall be 0 (disabled). Especially these controls shall not be inverted,
independently of the sensor's mounting rotation.

MIPI CCS camera sensor driver
=============================
The MIPI CCS camera sensor driver is a generic driver for `MIPI CCS
<https://www.mipi.org/specifications/camera-command-set>`_ compliant
camera sensors. It exposes three sub-devices representing the pixel array,
the binner and the scaler.
As the capabilities of individual devices vary, the driver exposes
interfaces based on the capabilities that exist in hardware.
Also see :ref:`the CCS driver kernel documentation <media-ccs-driver>`.
Pixel Array sub-device
----------------------
The pixel array sub-device represents the camera sensor's pixel matrix, as well
as analogue crop functionality present in many compliant devices. The analogue
crop is configured using the ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` on the source pad (0) of the
entity. The size of the pixel matrix can be obtained by getting the
``V4L2_SEL_TGT_NATIVE_SIZE`` target.
Binner
------
The binner sub-device represents the binning functionality on the sensor. For
that purpose, selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` is supported on the
sink pad (0).
Additionally, if a device has no scaler or digital crop functionality, the
source pad (1) exposes another digital crop selection rectangle that can only
crop at the end of the lines and frames.
Scaler
------
The scaler sub-device represents the digital crop and scaling functionality of
the sensor. The V4L2 selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` is used to
configure the digital crop on the sink pad (0) when digital crop is supported.
Scaling is configured using selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` on the
sink pad (0) as well.
Additionally, if the scaler sub-device exists, its source pad (1) exposes
another digital crop selection rectangle that can only crop at the end of the
lines and frames.
Digital and analogue crop
-------------------------
Digital crop functionality is referred to as cropping that effectively works by
dropping some data on the floor. Analogue crop, on the other hand, means that
the cropped information is never retrieved. In case of camera sensors, the
analogue data is never read from the pixel matrix that are outside the
configured selection rectangle that designates crop. The difference has an
effect in device timing and likely also in power consumption.
Private controls
----------------
The MIPI CCS driver implements a number of private controls under
``V4L2_CID_USER_BASE_CCS`` to control the MIPI CCS compliant camera sensors.
Analogue gain model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The CCS defines an analogue gain model where the gain can be calculated using
the following formula:
gain = m0 * x + c0 / (m1 * x + c1)
Either m0 or c0 will be zero. The constants that are device specific, can be
obtained from the following controls:
V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_GAIN_M0
V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_GAIN_M1
V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_GAIN_C0
V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_GAIN_C1
The analogue gain (``x`` in the formula) is controlled through
``V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN`` in this case.
Alternate analogue gain model
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The CCS defines another analogue gain model called alternate analogue gain. In
this case, the formula to calculate actual gain consists of linear and
exponential parts:
gain = linear * 2 ^ exponent
The ``linear`` and ``exponent`` factors can be set using the
``V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_LINEAR_GAIN`` and
``V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_EXPONENTIAL_GAIN`` controls, respectively
Shading correction
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The CCS standard supports lens shading correction. The feature can be controlled
using ``V4L2_CID_CCS_SHADING_CORRECTION``. Additionally, the luminance
correction level may be changed using
``V4L2_CID_CCS_LUMINANCE_CORRECTION_LEVEL``, where value 0 indicates no
correction and 128 indicates correcting the luminance in corners to 10 % less
than in the centre.
Shading correction needs to be enabled for luminance correction level to have an
effect.

The cx2341x driver
==================
Non-compressed file format
--------------------------
The cx23416 can produce (and the cx23415 can also read) raw YUV output. The
format of a YUV frame is 16x16 linear tiled NV12 (V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12_16L16).
The format is YUV 4:2:0 which uses 1 Y byte per pixel and 1 U and V byte per
four pixels.
The data is encoded as two macroblock planes, the first containing the Y
values, the second containing UV macroblocks.
The Y plane is divided into blocks of 16x16 pixels from left to right
and from top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line.
So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block, the
second 16 bytes are the second line of the top-left block, etc. After
transmitting this block the first line of the block on the right to the
first block is transmitted, etc.
The UV plane is divided into blocks of 16x8 UV values going from left
to right, top to bottom. Each block is transmitted in turn, line-by-line.
So the first 16 bytes are the first line of the top-left block and
contain 8 UV value pairs (16 bytes in total). The second 16 bytes are the
second line of 8 UV pairs of the top-left block, etc. After transmitting
this block the first line of the block on the right to the first block is
transmitted, etc.
The code below is given as an example on how to convert V4L2_PIX_FMT_NV12_16L16
to separate Y, U and V planes. This code assumes frames of 720x576 (PAL) pixels.
The width of a frame is always 720 pixels, regardless of the actual specified
width.
If the height is not a multiple of 32 lines, then the captured video is
missing macroblocks at the end and is unusable. So the height must be a
multiple of 32.

Format of embedded V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data
---------------------------------------------------------
Author: Hans Verkuil <hverkuil@kernel.org>
This section describes the V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV format of the VBI data
embedded in an MPEG-2 program stream. This format is in part dictated by some
hardware limitations of the ivtv driver (the driver for the Conexant cx23415/6
chips), in particular a maximum size for the VBI data. Anything longer is cut
off when the MPEG stream is played back through the cx23415.
The advantage of this format is it is very compact and that all VBI data for
all lines can be stored while still fitting within the maximum allowed size.
The stream ID of the VBI data is 0xBD. The maximum size of the embedded data is
4 + 43 * 36, which is 4 bytes for a header and 2 * 18 VBI lines with a 1 byte
header and a 42 bytes payload each. Anything beyond this limit is cut off by
the cx23415/6 firmware. Besides the data for the VBI lines we also need 36 bits
for a bitmask determining which lines are captured and 4 bytes for a magic cookie,
signifying that this data package contains V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data.
If all lines are used, then there is no longer room for the bitmask. To solve this
two different magic numbers were introduced:
'itv0': After this magic number two unsigned longs follow. Bits 0-17 of the first
unsigned long denote which lines of the first field are captured. Bits 18-31 of
the first unsigned long and bits 0-3 of the second unsigned long are used for the
second field.
'ITV0': This magic number assumes all VBI lines are captured, i.e. it implicitly
implies that the bitmasks are 0xffffffff and 0xf.
After these magic cookies (and the 8 byte bitmask in case of cookie 'itv0') the
captured VBI lines start:
For each line the least significant 4 bits of the first byte contain the data type.
Possible values are shown in the table below. The payload is in the following 42
bytes.
Here is the list of possible data types:
.. code-block:: c
#define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_TELETEXT 0x1 // Teletext (uses lines 6-22 for PAL)
#define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_CC 0x4 // Closed Captions (line 21 NTSC)
#define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_WSS 0x5 // Wide Screen Signal (line 23 PAL)
#define IVTV_SLICED_TYPE_VPS 0x7 // Video Programming System (PAL) (line 16)

DW100 dewarp driver
===================
The Vivante DW100 Dewarp Processor IP core found on i.MX8MP SoC applies a
programmable geometrical transformation on the input image to correct distortion
introduced by lenses.
The transformation function is exposed by the hardware as a grid map with 16x16
pixel macroblocks indexed using X, Y vertex coordinates.

Y coordinate X coordinate
Remap Register Layout
The dewarping map is set from applications using the
V4L2_CID_DW100_DEWARPING_16x16_VERTEX_MAP control. The control contains
an array of u32 values storing (x, y) destination coordinates for each
vertex of the grid. The x coordinate is stored in the 16 LSBs and the y
coordinate in the 16 MSBs.
The number of elements in the array must match the image size:
.. code-block:: C
elems = (DIV_ROUND_UP(width, 16) + 1) * (DIV_ROUND_UP(height, 16) + 1);
If the control has not been set by the application, the driver uses an identity
map.
More details on the DW100 hardware operations can be found in
*chapter 13.15 DeWarp* of IMX8MP_ reference manual.
The Vivante DW100 m2m driver implements the following driver-specific control:
``V4L2_CID_DW100_DEWARPING_16x16_VERTEX_MAP (__u32 array)``
Specifies to DW100 driver its dewarping map (aka LUT) blob as described in
*chapter 13.15.2.3 Dewarping Remap* of IMX8MP_ reference manual as an U32
dynamic array. The image is divided into many small 16x16 blocks. If the
width/height of the image is not divisible by 16, the size of the
rightmost/bottommost block is the remainder. The dewarping map only saves
the vertex coordinates of the block. The dewarping grid map is comprised of
vertex coordinates for x and y. Each x, y coordinate register uses 16 bits
(UQ12.4) to record the coordinate address, with the Y coordinate in the
upper bits and X in the lower bits. The driver modifies the dimensions of
this control when the sink format is changed, to reflect the new input
resolution.

Events

.. _imx_api_ipuX_csiY:
ipuX_csiY
---------
This subdev can generate the following event when enabling the second
IDMAC source pad:
- V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR
The user application can subscribe to this event from the ipuX_csiY
subdev node. This event is generated by the Frame Interval Monitor
(see below for more on the FIM).
Controls
========
.. _imx_api_FIM:
Frame Interval Monitor in ipuX_csiY
-----------------------------------
The adv718x decoders can occasionally send corrupt fields during
NTSC/PAL signal re-sync (too little or too many video lines). When
this happens, the IPU triggers a mechanism to re-establish vertical
sync by adding 1 dummy line every frame, which causes a rolling effect
from image to image, and can last a long time before a stable image is
recovered. Or sometimes the mechanism doesn't work at all, causing a
permanent split image (one frame contains lines from two consecutive
captured images).
From experiment it was found that during image rolling, the frame
intervals (elapsed time between two EOF's) drop below the nominal
value for the current standard, by about one frame time (60 usec),
and remain at that value until rolling stops.
While the reason for this observation isn't known (the IPU dummy
line mechanism should show an increase in the intervals by 1 line
time every frame, not a fixed value), we can use it to detect the
corrupt fields using a frame interval monitor. If the FIM detects a
bad frame interval, the ipuX_csiY subdev will send the event
V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR. Userland can register with
the FIM event notification on the ipuX_csiY subdev device node.
Userland can issue a streaming restart when this event is received
to correct the rolling/split image.
The ipuX_csiY subdev includes custom controls to tweak some dials for
FIM. If one of these controls is changed during streaming, the FIM will
be reset and will continue at the new settings.
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ENABLE
Enable/disable the FIM.
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_NUM
How many frame interval measurements to average before comparing against
the nominal frame interval reported by the sensor. This can reduce noise
caused by interrupt latency.
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_TOLERANCE_MIN
If the averaged intervals fall outside nominal by this amount, in
microseconds, the V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR event is sent.
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_TOLERANCE_MAX
If any intervals are higher than this value, those samples are
discarded and do not enter into the average. This can be used to
discard really high interval errors that might be due to interrupt
latency from high system load.
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_NUM_SKIP
How many frames to skip after a FIM reset or stream restart before
FIM begins to average intervals.
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_CHANNEL / V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_EDGE
These controls will configure an input capture channel as the method
for measuring frame intervals. This is superior to the default method
of measuring frame intervals via EOF interrupt, since it is not subject
to uncertainty errors introduced by interrupt latency.
Input capture requires hardware support. A VSYNC signal must be routed
to one of the i.MX6 input capture channel pads.
V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_CHANNEL configures which i.MX6 input capture
channel to use. This must be 0 or 1.
V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_EDGE configures which signal edge will trigger
input capture events. By default the input capture method is disabled
with a value of IRQ_TYPE_NONE. Set this control to IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING,
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING, or IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH to enable input capture,
triggered on the given signal edge(s).
When input capture is disabled, frame intervals will be measured via
EOF interrupt.

NPCM video driver
=================
This driver is used to control the Video Capture/Differentiation (VCD) engine
and Encoding Compression Engine (ECE) present on Nuvoton NPCM SoCs. The VCD can
capture a frame from digital video input and compare two frames in memory, and
the ECE can compress the frame data into HEXTILE format.
Driver-specific Controls
------------------------
V4L2_CID_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The VCD engine supports two modes:
- COMPLETE mode:
Capture the next complete frame into memory.
- DIFF mode:
Compare the incoming frame with the frame stored in memory, and updates the
differentiated frame in memory.
Application can use ``V4L2_CID_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE`` control to set the VCD mode
with different control values (enum v4l2_npcm_capture_mode):
- ``V4L2_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE_COMPLETE``: will set VCD to COMPLETE mode.
- ``V4L2_NPCM_CAPTURE_MODE_DIFF``: will set VCD to DIFF mode.
V4L2_CID_NPCM_RECT_COUNT
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If using V4L2_PIX_FMT_HEXTILE format, VCD will capture frame data and then ECE
will compress the data into HEXTILE rectangles and store them in V4L2 video
buffer with the layout defined in Remote Framebuffer Protocol:
::
(RFC 6143, https://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc6143.html#section-7.6.1)

| 4 | S32 | encoding-type (5) |
+--------------+--------------+-------------------+
| HEXTILE rectangle data |
+-------------------------------------------------+
Application can get the video buffer through VIDIOC_DQBUF, and followed by
calling ``V4L2_CID_NPCM_RECT_COUNT`` control to get the number of HEXTILE
rectangles in this buffer.

OMAP 3 Image Signal Processor (ISP) driver
==========================================

Events
------
The OMAP 3 ISP driver does support the V4L2 event interface on CCDC and
statistics (AEWB, AF and histogram) subdevs.
The CCDC subdev produces V4L2_EVENT_FRAME_SYNC type event on HS_VS
interrupt which is used to signal frame start. Earlier version of this
driver used V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_HS_VS for this purpose. The event is
triggered exactly when the reception of the first line of the frame starts
in the CCDC module. The event can be subscribed on the CCDC subdev.
(When using parallel interface one must pay account to correct configuration
of the VS signal polarity. This is automatically correct when using the serial
receivers.)
Each of the statistics subdevs is able to produce events. An event is
generated whenever a statistics buffer can be dequeued by a user space
application using the VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ IOCTL. The events available
are:
- V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_AEWB
- V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_AF
- V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_HIST
The type of the event data is struct omap3isp_stat_event_status for these
ioctls. If there is an error calculating the statistics, there will be an
event as usual, but no related statistics buffer. In this case
omap3isp_stat_event_status.buf_err is set to non-zero.
Private IOCTLs
--------------
The OMAP 3 ISP driver supports standard V4L2 IOCTLs and controls where
possible and practical. Much of the functions provided by the ISP, however,
does not fall under the standard IOCTLs --- gamma tables and configuration of
statistics collection are examples of such.
In general, there is a private ioctl for configuring each of the blocks
containing hardware-dependent functions.
The following private IOCTLs are supported:
- VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG
- VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG
- VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AEWB_CFG
- VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_HIST_CFG
- VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AF_CFG
- VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ
- VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_EN
The parameter structures used by these ioctls are described in
include/linux/omap3isp.h. The detailed functions of the ISP itself related to
a given ISP block is described in the Technical Reference Manuals (TRMs) ---
see the end of the document for those.
While it is possible to use the ISP driver without any use of these private
IOCTLs it is not possible to obtain optimal image quality this way. The AEWB,
AF and histogram modules cannot be used without configuring them using the
appropriate private IOCTLs.
CCDC and preview block IOCTLs
-----------------------------
The VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG and VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG IOCTLs are used to
configure, enable and disable functions in the CCDC and preview blocks,
respectively. Both IOCTLs control several functions in the blocks they
control. VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG IOCTL accepts a pointer to struct
omap3isp_ccdc_update_config as its argument. Similarly VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG
accepts a pointer to struct omap3isp_prev_update_config. The definition of
both structures is available in [#]_.
The update field in the structures tells whether to update the configuration
for the specific function and the flag tells whether to enable or disable the
function.
The update and flag bit masks accept the following values. Each separate
functions in the CCDC and preview blocks is associated with a flag (either
disable or enable; part of the flag field in the structure) and a pointer to
configuration data for the function.
Valid values for the update and flag fields are listed here for
VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG. Values may be or'ed to configure more than one
function in the same IOCTL call.
- OMAP3ISP_CCDC_ALAW
- OMAP3ISP_CCDC_LPF
- OMAP3ISP_CCDC_BLCLAMP
- OMAP3ISP_CCDC_BCOMP
- OMAP3ISP_CCDC_FPC
- OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CULL
- OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CONFIG_LSC
- OMAP3ISP_CCDC_TBL_LSC
The corresponding values for the VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG are here:
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_LUMAENH
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_INVALAW
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_HRZ_MED
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_CFA
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_CHROMA_SUPP
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_WB
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_BLKADJ
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_RGB2RGB

- OMAP3ISP_PREV_DRK_FRM_SUBTRACT
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_LENS_SHADING
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_NF
- OMAP3ISP_PREV_GAMMA
The associated configuration pointer for the function may not be NULL when
enabling the function. When disabling a function the configuration pointer is
ignored.
Statistic blocks IOCTLs
-----------------------
The statistics subdevs do offer more dynamic configuration options than the
other subdevs. They can be enabled, disable and reconfigured when the pipeline
is in streaming state.
The statistics blocks always get the input image data from the CCDC (as the
histogram memory read isn't implemented). The statistics are dequeueable by
the user from the statistics subdev nodes using private IOCTLs.
The private IOCTLs offered by the AEWB, AF and histogram subdevs are heavily
reflected by the register level interface offered by the ISP hardware. There
are aspects that are purely related to the driver implementation and these are
discussed next.
VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_EN
-----------------------
This private IOCTL enables/disables a statistic module. If this request is
done before streaming, it will take effect as soon as the pipeline starts to
stream. If the pipeline is already streaming, it will take effect as soon as
the CCDC becomes idle.
VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AEWB_CFG, VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_HIST_CFG and VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AF_CFG
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Those IOCTLs are used to configure the modules. They require user applications
to have an in-depth knowledge of the hardware. Most of the fields explanation
can be found on OMAP's TRMs. The two following fields common to all the above
configure private IOCTLs require explanation for better understanding as they
are not part of the TRM.
omap3isp_[h3a_af/h3a_aewb/hist]\_config.buf_size:
The modules handle their buffers internally. The necessary buffer size for the
module's data output depends on the requested configuration. Although the
driver supports reconfiguration while streaming, it does not support a
reconfiguration which requires bigger buffer size than what is already
internally allocated if the module is enabled. It will return -EBUSY on this
case. In order to avoid such condition, either disable/reconfigure/enable the
module or request the necessary buffer size during the first configuration
while the module is disabled.
The internal buffer size allocation considers the requested configuration's
minimum buffer size and the value set on buf_size field. If buf_size field is
out of [minimum, maximum] buffer size range, it's clamped to fit in there.
The driver then selects the biggest value. The corrected buf_size value is
written back to user application.
omap3isp_[h3a_af/h3a_aewb/hist]\_config.config_counter:
As the configuration doesn't take effect synchronously to the request, the
driver must provide a way to track this information to provide more accurate
data. After a configuration is requested, the config_counter returned to user
space application will be an unique value associated to that request. When
user application receives an event for buffer availability or when a new
buffer is requested, this config_counter is used to match a buffer data and a
configuration.
VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ
------------------------
Send to user space the oldest data available in the internal buffer queue and
discards such buffer afterwards. The field omap3isp_stat_data.frame_number
matches with the video buffer's field_count.

The Linux USB Video Class (UVC) driver
======================================
This file documents some driver-specific aspects of the UVC driver, such as
driver-specific ioctls and implementation notes.
Questions and remarks can be sent to the Linux UVC development mailing list at
linux-media@vger.kernel.org.
Extension Unit (XU) support
---------------------------
Introduction
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The UVC specification allows for vendor-specific extensions through extension
units (XUs). The Linux UVC driver supports extension unit controls (XU controls)
through two separate mechanisms:
- through mappings of XU controls to V4L2 controls
- through a driver-specific ioctl interface
The first one allows generic V4L2 applications to use XU controls by mapping
certain XU controls onto V4L2 controls, which then show up during ordinary
control enumeration.
The second mechanism requires uvcvideo-specific knowledge for the application to
access XU controls but exposes the entire UVC XU concept to user space for
maximum flexibility.
Both mechanisms complement each other and are described in more detail below.
Control mappings
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The UVC driver provides an API for user space applications to define so-called
control mappings at runtime. These allow for individual XU controls or byte
ranges thereof to be mapped to new V4L2 controls. Such controls appear and
function exactly like normal V4L2 controls (i.e. the stock controls, such as
brightness, contrast, etc.). However, reading or writing of such a V4L2 controls
triggers a read or write of the associated XU control.
The ioctl used to create these control mappings is called UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP.
Previous driver versions (before 0.2.0) required another ioctl to be used
beforehand (UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD) to pass XU control information to the UVC driver.
This is no longer necessary as newer uvcvideo versions query the information
directly from the device.
For details on the UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP ioctl please refer to the section titled
"IOCTL reference" below.
3. Driver specific XU control interface
For applications that need to access XU controls directly, e.g. for testing
purposes, firmware upload, or accessing binary controls, a second mechanism to
access XU controls is provided in the form of a driver-specific ioctl, namely
UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY.
A call to this ioctl allows applications to send queries to the UVC driver that
directly map to the low-level UVC control requests.
In order to make such a request the UVC unit ID of the control's extension unit
and the control selector need to be known. This information either needs to be
hardcoded in the application or queried using other ways such as by parsing the
UVC descriptor or, if available, using the media controller API to enumerate a
device's entities.
Unless the control size is already known it is necessary to first make a
UVC_GET_LEN requests in order to be able to allocate a sufficiently large buffer
and set the buffer size to the correct value. Similarly, to find out whether
UVC_GET_CUR or UVC_SET_CUR are valid requests for a given control, a
UVC_GET_INFO request should be made. The bits 0 (GET supported) and 1 (SET
supported) of the resulting byte indicate which requests are valid.
With the addition of the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl the UVCIOC_CTRL_GET and
UVCIOC_CTRL_SET ioctls have become obsolete since their functionality is a
subset of the former ioctl. For the time being they are still supported but
application developers are encouraged to use UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY instead.
For details on the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl please refer to the section titled
"IOCTL reference" below.
Security
~~~~~~~~
The API doesn't currently provide a fine-grained access control facility. The
UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD and UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP ioctls require super user permissions.
Suggestions on how to improve this are welcome.
Debugging
~~~~~~~~~
In order to debug problems related to XU controls or controls in general it is
recommended to enable the UVC_TRACE_CONTROL bit in the module parameter 'trace'.
This causes extra output to be written into the system log.
IOCTL reference
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP - Map a UVC control to a V4L2 control
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
**This IOCTL is deprecated and will be eventually removed**
Argument: struct uvc_xu_control_mapping
**Description**:
This ioctl creates a mapping between a UVC control or part of a UVC
control and a V4L2 control. Once mappings are defined, userspace
applications can access vendor-defined UVC control through the V4L2
control API.
To create a mapping, applications fill the uvc_xu_control_mapping
structure with information about an existing UVC control defined with
UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD and a new V4L2 control.
A UVC control can be mapped to several V4L2 controls. For instance,
a UVC pan/tilt control could be mapped to separate pan and tilt V4L2
controls. The UVC control is divided into non overlapping fields using
the 'size' and 'offset' fields and are then independently mapped to
V4L2 control.
For signed integer V4L2 controls the data_type field should be set to
UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_SIGNED. Other values are currently ignored.
**Return value**:
On success 0 is returned. On error -1 is returned and errno is set
appropriately.
ENOMEM
Not enough memory to perform the operation.
EPERM
Insufficient privileges (super user privileges are required).
EINVAL
No such UVC control.
EOVERFLOW
The requested offset and size would overflow the UVC control.
EEXIST
Mapping already exists.

UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY - Query a UVC XU control
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Argument: struct uvc_xu_control_query
**Description**:
This ioctl queries a UVC XU control identified by its extension unit ID
and control selector.
There are a number of different queries available that closely
correspond to the low-level control requests described in the UVC
specification. These requests are:
UVC_GET_CUR
Obtain the current value of the control.
UVC_GET_MIN
Obtain the minimum value of the control.
UVC_GET_MAX
Obtain the maximum value of the control.
UVC_GET_DEF
Obtain the default value of the control.
UVC_GET_RES
Query the resolution of the control, i.e. the step size of the
allowed control values.
UVC_GET_LEN
Query the size of the control in bytes.
UVC_GET_INFO
Query the control information bitmap, which indicates whether
get/set requests are supported.
UVC_SET_CUR
Update the value of the control.
Applications must set the 'size' field to the correct length for the
control. Exceptions are the UVC_GET_LEN and UVC_GET_INFO queries, for
which the size must be set to 2 and 1, respectively. The 'data' field
must point to a valid writable buffer big enough to hold the indicated
number of data bytes.
Data is copied directly from the device without any driver-side
processing. Applications are responsible for data buffer formatting,
including little-endian/big-endian conversion. This is particularly
important for the result of the UVC_GET_LEN requests, which is always
returned as a little-endian 16-bit integer by the device.
**Return value**:
On success 0 is returned. On error -1 is returned and errno is set
appropriately.
ENOENT
The device does not support the given control or the specified
extension unit could not be found.
ENOBUFS
The specified buffer size is incorrect (too big or too small).
EINVAL
An invalid request code was passed.
EBADRQC
The given request is not supported by the given control.

Driver-specific V4L2 controls
-----------------------------
The uvcvideo driver implements the following UVC-specific controls:
``V4L2_CID_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_RECT (struct)``
This control determines the region of interest (ROI). ROI is a
rectangular area represented by a struct :c:type:`v4l2_rect`. The
rectangle is in global sensor coordinates using pixel units. It is
independent of the field of view, not impacted by any cropping or
scaling.
Use ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MIN_VAL`` and ``V4L2_CTRL_WHICH_MAX_VAL`` to query
the range of rectangle sizes.
Setting a ROI allows the camera to optimize the capture for the region.
The value of ``V4L2_CID_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO`` control determines
the detailed behavior.
An example of use of this control, can be found in the:
`Chrome OS USB camera HAL.
<https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform2/+/refs/heads/release-R121-15699.B/camera/hal/usb/>`
``V4L2_CID_UVC_REGION_OF_INTEREST_AUTO (bitmask)``
This determines which, if any, on-board features should track to the
Region of Interest specified by the current value of
``V4L2_CID_UVD__REGION_OF_INTEREST_RECT``.
Max value is a mask indicating all supported Auto Controls.
