Move V4L documentation files to media/v4l-drivers. Those aren't
core stuff, so they don't fit at the kAPI document.

Introduction - - This is a driver for STMicroelectronics's CPiA2 (second generation -Colour Processor Interface ASIC) based cameras. This camera outputs an MJPEG -stream at up to vga size. It implements the Video4Linux interface as much as -possible. Since the V4L interface does not support compressed formats, only -an mjpeg enabled application can be used with the camera. We have modified the -gqcam application to view this stream. - - The driver is implemented as two kernel modules. The cpia2 module -contains the camera functions and the V4L interface. The cpia2_usb module -contains usb specific functions. The main reason for this was the size of the -module was getting out of hand, so I separated them. It is not likely that -there will be a parallel port version. - -FEATURES: - - Supports cameras with the Vision stv6410 (CIF) and stv6500 (VGA) cmos - sensors. I only have the vga sensor, so can't test the other. - - Image formats: VGA, QVGA, CIF, QCIF, and a number of sizes in between. - VGA and QVGA are the native image sizes for the VGA camera. CIF is done - in the coprocessor by scaling QVGA. All other sizes are done by clipping. - - Palette: YCrCb, compressed with MJPEG. - - Some compression parameters are settable. - - Sensor framerate is adjustable (up to 30 fps CIF, 15 fps VGA). - - Adjust brightness, color, contrast while streaming. - - Flicker control settable for 50 or 60 Hz mains frequency. - -2. Making and installing the stv672 driver modules: - - Requirements: - ------------- - This should work with 2.4 (2.4.23 and later) and 2.6 kernels, but has -only been tested on 2.6. Video4Linux must be either compiled into the kernel or -available as a module. Video4Linux2 is automatically detected and made -available at compile time. - - Compiling: - ---------- - As root, do a make install. This will compile and install the modules -into the media/video directory in the module tree. For 2.4 kernels, use -Makefile_2.4 (aka do make -f Makefile_2.4 install). - - Setup: - ------ - Use 'modprobe cpia2' to load and 'modprobe -r cpia2' to unload. This -may be done automatically by your distribution. - -3. Driver options - - Option Description - ------ ----------- - video_nr video device to register (0=/dev/video0, etc) - range -1 to 64. default is -1 (first available) - If you have more than 1 camera, this MUST be -1. - buffer_size Size for each frame buffer in bytes (default 68k) - num_buffers Number of frame buffers (1-32, default 3) - alternate USB Alternate (2-7, default 7) - flicker_freq Frequency for flicker reduction(50 or 60, default 60) - flicker_mode 0 to disable, or 1 to enable flicker reduction. - (default 0). This is only effective if the camera - uses a stv0672 coprocessor. - - Setting the options: - -------------------- - If you are using modules, edit /etc/modules.conf and add an options -line like this: - options cpia2 num_buffers=3 buffer_size=65535 - - If the driver is compiled into the kernel, at boot time specify them -like this: - cpia2.num_buffers=3 cpia2.buffer_size=65535 - - What buffer size should I use? - ------------------------------ - The maximum image size depends on the alternate you choose, and the -frame rate achieved by the camera. If the compression engine is able to -keep up with the frame rate, the maximum image size is given by the table -below. - The compression engine starts out at maximum compression, and will -increase image quality until it is close to the size in the table. As long -as the compression engine can keep up with the frame rate, after a short time -the images will all be about the size in the table, regardless of resolution. - At low alternate settings, the compression engine may not be able to -compress the image enough and will reduce the frame rate by producing larger -images. - The default of 68k should be good for most users. This will handle -any alternate at frame rates down to 15fps. For lower frame rates, it may -be necessary to increase the buffer size to avoid having frames dropped due -to insufficient space. - - Image size(bytes) - Alternate bytes/ms 15fps 30fps - 2 128 8533 4267 - 3 384 25600 12800 - 4 640 42667 21333 - 5 768 51200 25600 - 6 896 59733 29867 - 7 1023 68200 34100 - - How many buffers should I use? - ------------------------------ - For normal streaming, 3 should give the best results. With only 2, -it is possible for the camera to finish sending one image just after a -program has started reading the other. If this happens, the driver must drop -a frame. The exception to this is if you have a heavily loaded machine. In -this case use 2 buffers. You are probably not reading at the full frame rate. -If the camera can send multiple images before a read finishes, it could -overwrite the third buffer before the read finishes, leading to a corrupt -image. Single and double buffering have extra checks to avoid overwriting. - -4. Using the camera - - We are providing a modified gqcam application to view the output. In -order to avoid confusion, here it is called mview. There is also the qx5view -program which can also control the lights on the qx5 microscope. MJPEG Tools -(http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net) can also be used to record from the camera. - -5. Notes to developers: - - - This is a driver version stripped of the 2.4 back compatibility - and old MJPEG ioctl API. See cpia2.sf.net for 2.4 support. - -6.

It is a crude echo of corresponding logic in ivtv, - however the design goals (strict isolation) and physical layer - (proxy through USB instead of PCI) are enough different that this - implementation had to be completely different. - - pvrusb2-hdw-internal.h - This header defines the core data structure - in the driver used to track ALL internal state related to control - of the hardware. Nobody outside of the core hardware-handling - modules should have any business using this header. All external - access to the driver should be through one of the high level - interfaces (e.g. V4L, sysfs, etc), and in fact even those high - level interfaces are restricted to the API defined in - pvrusb2-hdw.h and NOT this header. - - pvrusb2-hdw.h - This header defines the full internal API for - controlling the hardware. High level interfaces (e.g. V4L, sysfs) - will work through here. - - pvrusb2-hdw.c - This module implements all the various bits of logic - that handle overall control of a specific pvrusb2 device. - (Policy, instantiation, and arbitration of pvrusb2 devices fall - within the jurisdiction of pvrusb-context not here). - - pvrusb2-i2c-chips-*.c - These modules implement the glue logic to - tie together and configure various I2C modules as they attach to - the I2C bus. There are two versions of this file. The "v4l2" - version is intended to be used in-tree alongside V4L, where we - implement just the logic that makes sense for a pure V4L - environment. The "all" version is intended for use outside of - V4L, where we might encounter other possibly "challenging" modules - from ivtv or older kernel snapshots (or even the support modules - in the standalone snapshot). - - pvrusb2-i2c-cmd-v4l1.[ch] - This module implements generic V4L1 - compatible commands to the I2C modules. It is here where state - changes inside the pvrusb2 driver are translated into V4L1 - commands that are in turn send to the various I2C modules. - - pvrusb2-i2c-cmd-v4l2.[ch] - This module implements generic V4L2 - compatible commands to the I2C modules. It is here where state - changes inside the pvrusb2 driver are translated into V4L2 - commands that are in turn send to the various I2C modules. - - pvrusb2-i2c-core.[ch] - This module provides an implementation of a - kernel-friendly I2C adaptor driver, through which other external - I2C client drivers (e.g. msp3400, tuner, lirc) may connect and - operate corresponding chips within the pvrusb2 device. It is - through here that other V4L modules can reach into this driver to - operate specific pieces (and those modules are in turn driven by - glue logic which is coordinated by pvrusb2-hdw, doled out by - pvrusb2-context, and then ultimately made available to users - through one of the high level interfaces). - - pvrusb2-io.[ch] - This module implements a very low level ring of - transfer buffers, required in order to stream data from the - device. This module is *very* low level. It only operates the - buffers and makes no attempt to define any policy or mechanism for - how such buffers might be used. - - pvrusb2-ioread.[ch] - This module layers on top of pvrusb2-io.[ch] - to provide a streaming API usable by a read() system call style of - I/O. Right now this is the only layer on top of pvrusb2-io.[ch], - however the underlying architecture here was intended to allow for - other styles of I/O to be implemented with additional modules, like - mmap()'ed buffers or something even more exotic. - - pvrusb2-main.c - This is the top level of the driver. Module level - and USB core entry points are here. This is our "main". - - pvrusb2-sysfs.[ch] - This is the high level interface which ties the - pvrusb2 driver into sysfs. Through this interface you can do - everything with the driver except actually stream data. - - pvrusb2-tuner.[ch] - This is glue logic that resides between this - driver and the tuner.ko I2C client driver (which is found - elsewhere in V4L). - - pvrusb2-util.h - This header defines some common macros used - throughout the driver. These macros are not really specific to - the driver, but they had to go somewhere. - - pvrusb2-v4l2.[ch] - This is the high level interface which ties the - pvrusb2 driver into video4linux. It is through here that V4L - applications can open and operate the driver in the usual V4L - ways. Note that **ALL** V4L functionality is published only - through here and nowhere else. - - pvrusb2-video-*.[ch] - This is glue logic that resides between this - driver and the saa711x.ko I2C client driver (which is found - elsewhere in V4L). Note that saa711x.ko used to be known as - saa7115.ko in ivtv. There are two versions of this; one is - selected depending on the particular saa711[5x].ko that is found. - - pvrusb2.h - This header contains compile time tunable parameters - (and at the moment the driver has very little that needs to be - tuned). - - - -Mike Isely - isely@pobox.com - diff --git a/Documentation/video4linux/README.saa7134 b/Documentation/video4linux/README.saa7134 deleted file mode 100644 index b911f0871874..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/video4linux/README.saa7134 +++ /dev/null @@ -1,82 +0,0 @@ - - -What is it? -=========== - -This is a v4l2/oss device driver for saa7130/33/34/35 based capture / TV -boards.

How do I get this damn thing to work - -Load zr36067.o. If it can't autodetect your card, use the card=X insmod -option with X being the card number as given in the previous section. -To have more than one card, use card=X1[,X2[,X3,[X4[..]]]] - -To automate this, add the following to your /etc/modprobe.d/zoran.conf: - -options zr36067 card=X1[,X2[,X3[,X4[..]]]] -alias char-major-81-0 zr36067 - -One thing to keep in mind is that this doesn't load zr36067.o itself yet. It -just automates loading. If you start using xawtv, the device won't load on -some systems, since you're trying to load modules as a user, which is not -allowed ("permission denied"). A quick workaround is to add 'Load "v4l"' to -XF86Config-4 when you use X by default, or to run 'v4l-conf -c <device>' in -one of your startup scripts (normally rc.local) if you don't use X. Both -make sure that the modules are loaded on startup, under the root account. - -=========================== - -3. What mainboard should I use (or why doesn't my card work) - -<insert lousy disclaimer here>. In short: good=SiS/Intel, bad=VIA. - -Experience tells us that people with a Buz, on average, have more problems -than users with a DC10+/LML33. Also, it tells us that people owning a VIA- -based mainboard (ktXXX, MVP3) have more problems than users with a mainboard -based on a different chipset. Here's some notes from Andrew Stevens: --- -Here's my experience of using LML33 and Buz on various motherboards: - -VIA MVP3 - Forget it. Pointless. Doesn't work. -Intel 430FX (Pentium 200) - LML33 perfect, Buz tolerable (3 or 4 frames dropped per movie) -Intel 440BX (early stepping) - LML33 tolerable. Buz starting to get annoying (6-10 frames/hour) -Intel 440BX (late stepping) - Buz tolerable, LML3 almost perfect (occasional single frame drops) -SiS735 - LML33 perfect, Buz tolerable. -VIA KT133(*) - LML33 starting to get annoying, Buz poor enough that I have up. - -Both 440BX boards were dual CPU versions. --- -Bernhard Praschinger later added: --- -AMD 751 - Buz perfect-tolerable -AMD 760 - Buz perfect-tolerable --- -In general, people on the user mailinglist won't give you much of a chance -if you have a VIA-based motherboard. They may be cheap, but sometimes, you'd -rather want to spend some more money on better boards. In general, VIA -mainboard's IDE/PCI performance will also suck badly compared to others. -You'll noticed the DC10+/DC30+ aren't mentioned anywhere in the overview. -Basically, you can assume that if the Buz works, the LML33 will work too. If -the LML33 works, the DC10+/DC30+ will work too. They're most tolerant to -different mainboard chipsets from all of the supported cards. - -If you experience timeouts during capture, buy a better mainboard or lower -the quality/buffersize during capture (see 'Concerning buffer sizes, quality, -output size etc.'). If it hangs, there's little we can do as of now. Check -your IRQs and make sure the card has its own interrupts. - -=========================== - -4. Programming interface - -This driver conforms to video4linux2. Support for V4L1 and for the custom -zoran ioctls has been removed in kernel 2.6.38. - -For programming example, please, look at lavrec.c and lavplay.c code in -the MJPEG-tools (http://mjpeg.sf.net/). - -Additional notes for software developers: - - The driver returns maxwidth and maxheight parameters according to - the current TV standard (norm). Therefore, the software which - communicates with the driver and "asks" for these parameters should - first set the correct norm. Well, it seems logically correct: TV - standard is "more constant" for current country than geometry - settings of a variety of TV capture cards which may work in ITU or - square pixel format. - -=========================== - -5. Applications - -Applications known to work with this driver: - -TV viewing: -* xawtv -* kwintv -* probably any TV application that supports video4linux or video4linux2. - -MJPEG capture/playback: -* mjpegtools/lavtools (or Linux Video Studio) -* gstreamer -* mplayer - -General raw capture: -* xawtv -* gstreamer -* probably any application that supports video4linux or video4linux2 - -Video editing: -* Cinelerra -* MainActor -* mjpegtools (or Linux Video Studio) - -=========================== - -6. Concerning buffer sizes, quality, output size etc. - -The zr36060 can do 1:2 JPEG compression. This is really the theoretical -maximum that the chipset can reach. The driver can, however, limit compression -to a maximum (size) of 1:4. The reason for this is that some cards (e.g. Buz) -can't handle 1:2 compression without stopping capture after only a few minutes. -With 1:4, it'll mostly work. If you have a Buz, use 'low_bitrate=1' to go into -1:4 max. compression mode. - -100% JPEG quality is thus 1:2 compression in practice. So for a full PAL frame -(size 720x576). The JPEG fields are stored in YUY2 format, so the size of the -fields are 720x288x16/2 bits/field (2 fields/frame) = 207360 bytes/field x 2 = -414720 bytes/frame (add some more bytes for headers and DHT (huffman)/DQT -(quantization) tables, and you'll get to something like 512kB per frame for -1:2 compression. For 1:4 compression, you'd have frames of half this size. - -Some additional explanation by Martin Samuelsson, which also explains the -importance of buffer sizes: --- -> Hmm, I do not think it is really that way. With the current (downloaded -> at 18:00 Monday) driver I get that output sizes for 10 sec: -> -q 50 -b 128 : 24.283.332 Bytes -> -q 50 -b 256 : 48.442.368 -> -q 25 -b 128 : 24.655.992 -> -q 25 -b 256 : 25.859.820 - -I woke up, and can't go to sleep again. I'll kill some time explaining why -this doesn't look strange to me. - -Let's do some math using a width of 704 pixels. I'm not sure whether the Buz -actually use that number or not, but that's not too important right now. - -704x288 pixels, one field, is 202752 pixels. Divided by 64 pixels per block; -3168 blocks per field. Each pixel consist of two bytes; 128 bytes per block; -1024 bits per block. 100% in the new driver mean 1:2 compression; the maximum -output becomes 512 bits per block. Actually 510, but 512 is simpler to use -for calculations. - -Let's say that we specify d1q50. We thus want 256 bits per block; times 3168 -becomes 811008 bits; 101376 bytes per field. We're talking raw bits and bytes -here, so we don't need to do any fancy corrections for bits-per-pixel or such -things. 101376 bytes per field. - -d1 video contains two fields per frame. Those sum up to 202752 bytes per -frame, and one of those frames goes into each buffer. - -But wait a second! -b128 gives 128kB buffers! It's not possible to cram -202752 bytes of JPEG data into 128kB! - -This is what the driver notice and automatically compensate for in your -examples. Let's do some math using this information: - -128kB is 131072 bytes. In this buffer, we want to store two fields, which -leaves 65536 bytes for each field. Using 3168 blocks per field, we get -20.68686868... available bytes per block; 165 bits. We can't allow the -request for 256 bits per block when there's only 165 bits available! The -q50 -option is silently overridden, and the -b128 option takes precedence, leaving -us with the equivalence of -q32. - -This gives us a data rate of 165 bits per block, which, times 3168, sums up -to 65340 bytes per field, out of the allowed 65536. The current driver has -another level of rate limiting; it won't accept -q values that fill more than -6/8 of the specified buffers. (I'm not sure why. "Playing it safe" seem to be -a safe bet. Personally, I think I would have lowered requested-bits-per-block -by one, or something like that.) We can't use 165 bits per block, but have to -lower it again, to 6/8 of the available buffer space: We end up with 124 bits -per block, the equivalence of -q24.

The STV0676 is an improved version, -which can handle up to 30 fps VGA. Both coprocessors can be attached to two -CMOS sensors - the vvl6410 CIF sensor and the vvl6500 VGA sensor.

There are a few differences in register -mappings for the two chips. In these cases, the symbols defined in the -header files are marked with VP4 or VP5 as part of the symbol name. - -The cameras appear externally as three sets of registers. Setting register -values is the only way to control the camera. Some settings are -interdependant, such as the sequence required to power up the camera. I will -try to make note of all of these cases. - -The register sets are called blocks. Block 0 is the system block. This -section is always powered on when the camera is plugged in. It contains -registers that control housekeeping functions such as powering up the video -processor. The video processor is the VP block. These registers control -how the video from the sensor is processed. Examples are timing registers, -user mode (vga, qvga), scaling, cropping, framerates, and so on.

Alcôve <www.alcove.com> - Copyright (C) 2000 Andrew Tridgell <tridge@samba.org> - -This driver enable the use of video4linux compatible applications with the -Motion Eye camera.

The manufacturer has given the specs -to the developers under a NDA (which allows the development of a GPL -driver however), but things are not moving very fast (see -http://r-engine.sourceforge.net/) (PCI vendor/device is 0x10cf/0x2011). - -There is a forth model connected on the USB bus in TR1* Vaio laptops. -This camera is not supported at all by the current driver, in fact -little information if any is available for this camera -(USB vendor/device is 0x054c/0x0107). - -Driver options: ---------------- - -Several options can be passed to the meye driver using the standard -module argument syntax (<param>=<value> when passing the option to the -module or meye.<param>=<value> on the kernel boot line when meye is -statically linked into the kernel). Those options are: - - gbuffers: number of capture buffers, default is 2 (32 max) - - gbufsize: size of each capture buffer, default is 614400 - - video_nr: video device to register (0 = /dev/video0, etc) - -Module use: ------------ - -In order to automatically load the meye module on use, you can put those lines -in your /etc/modprobe.d/meye.conf file: - - alias char-major-81 videodev - alias char-major-81-0 meye - options meye gbuffers=32 - -Usage: ------- - - xawtv >= 3.49 (<http://bytesex.org/xawtv/>) - for display and uncompressed video capture: - - xawtv -c /dev/video0 -geometry 640x480 - or - xawtv -c /dev/video0 -geometry 320x240 - - motioneye (<http://popies.net/meye/>) - for getting ppm or jpg snapshots, mjpeg video - -Private API: ------------- - - The driver supports frame grabbing with the video4linux API, - so all video4linux tools (like xawtv) should work with this driver. - - Besides the video4linux interface, the driver has a private interface - for accessing the Motion Eye extended parameters (camera sharpness, - agc, video framerate), the shapshot and the MJPEG capture facilities. - - This interface consists of several ioctls (prototypes and structures - can be found in include/linux/meye.h): - - MEYEIOC_G_PARAMS - MEYEIOC_S_PARAMS - Get and set the extended parameters of the motion eye camera. - The user should always query the current parameters with - MEYEIOC_G_PARAMS, change what he likes and then issue the - MEYEIOC_S_PARAMS call (checking for -EINVAL). The extended - parameters are described by the meye_params structure. - - - MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT - Queue a buffer for capture (the buffers must have been - obtained with a VIDIOCGMBUF call and mmap'ed by the - application). The argument to MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT is the - buffer number to queue (or -1 to end capture). The first - call to MEYEIOC_QBUF_CAPT starts the streaming capture. - - MEYEIOC_SYNC - Takes as an argument the buffer number you want to sync. - This ioctl blocks until the buffer is filled and ready - for the application to use. It returns the buffer size. - - MEYEIOC_STILLCAPT - MEYEIOC_STILLJCAPT - Takes a snapshot in an uncompressed or compressed jpeg format. - This ioctl blocks until the snapshot is done and returns (for - jpeg snapshot) the size of the image.

Each of the subdevs provide a V4L2 subdev -interface to userspace. - - OMAP3 ISP CCP2 - OMAP3 ISP CSI2a - OMAP3 ISP CCDC - OMAP3 ISP preview - OMAP3 ISP resizer - OMAP3 ISP AEWB - OMAP3 ISP AF - OMAP3 ISP histogram - -Each possible link in the ISP is modelled by a link in the Media controller -interface. For an example program see [2]. - - -Controlling the OMAP 3 ISP -========================== - -In general, the settings given to the OMAP 3 ISP take effect at the beginning -of the following frame. This is done when the module becomes idle during the -vertical blanking period on the sensor. In memory-to-memory operation the pipe -is run one frame at a time. Applying the settings is done between the frames. - -All the blocks in the ISP, excluding the CSI-2 and possibly the CCP2 receiver, -insist on receiving complete frames. Sensors must thus never send the ISP -partial frames. - -Autoidle does have issues with some ISP blocks on the 3430, at least. -Autoidle is only enabled on 3630 when the omap3isp module parameter autoidle -is non-zero. - - -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 [1]. - -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_COLOR_CONV - OMAP3ISP_PREV_YC_LIMIT - OMAP3ISP_PREV_DEFECT_COR - OMAP3ISP_PREV_GAMMABYPASS - OMAP3ISP_PREV_DRK_FRM_CAPTURE - 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. - - -Technical reference manuals (TRMs) and other documentation -========================================================== - -OMAP 3430 TRM: -<URL:http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/OMAP34xx_ES3.1.x_PUBLIC_TRM_vZM.zip> -Referenced 2011-03-05. - -OMAP 35xx TRM: -<URL:http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/spruf98o> Referenced 2011-03-05. - -OMAP 3630 TRM: -<URL:http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/OMAP36xx_ES1.x_PUBLIC_TRM_vQ.zip> -Referenced 2011-03-05. - -DM 3730 TRM: -<URL:http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/sprugn4h> Referenced 2011-03-06. - - -References -========== - -[1] include/linux/omap3isp.h - -[2] http://git.ideasonboard.org/?p=media-ctl.git;a=summary diff --git a/Documentation/video4linux/omap4_camera.txt b/Documentation/video4linux/omap4_camera.txt deleted file mode 100644 index a6734aa77242..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/video4linux/omap4_camera.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,60 +0,0 @@ - OMAP4 ISS Driver - ================ - -Introduction ------------- - -The OMAP44XX family of chips contains the Imaging SubSystem (a.k.a.

Benoit (benoits@servicepro.com) Dec 14, 1996 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- - -Document version 1.0 - -ACKNOWLEDGMENTS ----------------- -This document was made based on 'C' code for Linux from Gideon le Grange -(legrang@active.co.za or legrang@cs.sun.ac.za) in 1994, and elaborations from -Frans Brinkman (brinkman@esd.nl) in 1996.

I make no guarantees, claims or warranties to the suitability or -validity of this information. No other documentation on the AIMS -Lab (http://www.aimslab.com/) RadioTrack card was made available to the -author. This document is offered in the hopes that it might help users who -want to use the RadioTrack card in an environment other than MS Windows. - -WHY THIS DOCUMENT? ------------------- -I have a RadioTrack card from back when I ran an MS-Windows platform. After -converting to Linux, I found Gideon le Grange's command-line software for -running the card, and found that it was good! Frans Brinkman made a -comfortable X-windows interface, and added a scanning feature. For hack -value, I wanted to see if the tuner could be tuned beyond the usual FM radio -broadcast band, so I could pick up the audio carriers from North American -broadcast TV channels, situated just below and above the 87.0-109.0 MHz range. -I did not get much success, but I learned about programming ioports under -Linux and gained some insights about the hardware design used for the card. - -So, without further delay, here are the details. - - -PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION --------------------- -The RadioTrack card is an ISA 8-bit FM radio card. The radio frequency (RF) -input is simply an antenna lead, and the output is a power audio signal -available through a miniature phone plug. Its RF frequencies of operation are -more or less limited from 87.0 to 109.0 MHz (the commercial FM broadcast -band). Although the registers can be programmed to request frequencies beyond -these limits, experiments did not give promising results. The variable -frequency oscillator (VFO) that demodulates the intermediate frequency (IF) -signal probably has a small range of useful frequencies, and wraps around or -gets clipped beyond the limits mentioned above. - - -CONTROLLING THE CARD WITH IOPORT --------------------------------- -The RadioTrack (base) ioport is configurable for 0x30c or 0x20c. Only one -ioport seems to be involved. The ioport decoding circuitry must be pretty -simple, as individual ioport bits are directly matched to specific functions -(or blocks) of the radio card. This way, many functions can be changed in -parallel with one write to the ioport. The only feedback available through -the ioports appears to be the "Stereo Detect" bit. - -The bits of the ioport are arranged as follows: - - MSb LSb -+------+------+------+--------+--------+-------+---------+--------+ -| VolA | VolB | ???? | Stereo | Radio | TuneA | TuneB | Tune | -| (+) | (-) | | Detect | Audio | (bit) | (latch) | Update | -| | | | Enable | Enable | | | Enable | -+------+------+------+--------+--------+-------+---------+--------+ - - -VolA .

Typically a - specialised interface, present on many SoCs, e.g. PXA27x and PXA3xx, SuperH, - AVR32, i.MX27, i.MX31. - - camera host bus - a connection between a camera host and a camera. Can be - parallel or serial, consists of data and control lines, e.g. clock, vertical - and horizontal synchronization signals. - -Purpose of the soc-camera subsystem ------------------------------------ - -The soc-camera subsystem initially provided a unified API between camera host -drivers and camera sensor drivers. Later the soc-camera sensor API has been -replaced with the V4L2 standard subdev API. This also made camera driver re-use -with non-soc-camera hosts possible. The camera host API to the soc-camera core -has been preserved. - -Soc-camera implements a V4L2 interface to the user, currently only the "mmap" -method is supported by host drivers. However, the soc-camera core also provides -support for the "read" method. - -The subsystem has been designed to support multiple camera host interfaces and -multiple cameras per interface, although most applications have only one camera -sensor. - -Existing drivers ----------------- - -As of 3.7 there are seven host drivers in the mainline: atmel-isi.c, -mx1_camera.c (broken, scheduled for removal), mx2_camera.c, mx3_camera.c, -omap1_camera.c, pxa_camera.c, sh_mobile_ceu_camera.c, and multiple sensor -drivers under drivers/media/i2c/soc_camera/. - -Camera host API ---------------- - -A host camera driver is registered using the - -soc_camera_host_register(struct soc_camera_host *); - -function. The host object can be initialized as follows: - - struct soc_camera_host *ici; - ici->drv_name = DRV_NAME; - ici->ops = &camera_host_ops; - ici->priv = pcdev; - ici->v4l2_dev.dev = &pdev->dev; - ici->nr = pdev->id; - -All camera host methods are passed in a struct soc_camera_host_ops: - -static struct soc_camera_host_ops camera_host_ops = { - .owner = THIS_MODULE, - .add = camera_add_device, - .remove = camera_remove_device, - .set_fmt = camera_set_fmt_cap, - .try_fmt = camera_try_fmt_cap, - .init_videobuf2 = camera_init_videobuf2, - .poll = camera_poll, - .querycap = camera_querycap, - .set_bus_param = camera_set_bus_param, - /* The rest of host operations are optional */ -}; - -.add and .remove methods are called when a sensor is attached to or detached -from the host. .set_bus_param is used to configure physical connection -parameters between the host and the sensor. .init_videobuf2 is called by -soc-camera core when a video-device is opened, the host driver would typically -call vb2_queue_init() in this method. Further video-buffer management is -implemented completely by the specific camera host driver. If the host driver -supports non-standard pixel format conversion, it should implement a -.get_formats and, possibly, a .put_formats operations. See below for more -details about format conversion. The rest of the methods are called from -respective V4L2 operations. - -Camera API ----------- - -Sensor drivers can use struct soc_camera_link, typically provided by the -platform, and used to specify to which camera host bus the sensor is connected, -and optionally provide platform .power and .reset methods for the camera. This -struct is provided to the camera driver via the I2C client device platform data -and can be obtained, using the soc_camera_i2c_to_link() macro. Care should be -taken, when using soc_camera_vdev_to_subdev() and when accessing struct -soc_camera_device, using v4l2_get_subdev_hostdata(): both only work, when -running on an soc-camera host. The actual camera driver operation is implemented -using the V4L2 subdev API. Additionally soc-camera camera drivers can use -auxiliary soc-camera helper functions like soc_camera_power_on() and -soc_camera_power_off(), which switch regulators, provided by the platform and call -board-specific power switching methods. soc_camera_apply_board_flags() takes -camera bus configuration capability flags and applies any board transformations, -e.g. signal polarity inversion. soc_mbus_get_fmtdesc() can be used to obtain a -pixel format descriptor, corresponding to a certain media-bus pixel format code. -soc_camera_limit_side() can be used to restrict beginning and length of a frame -side, based on camera capabilities. - -VIDIOC_S_CROP and VIDIOC_S_FMT behaviour ----------------------------------------- - -Above user ioctls modify image geometry as follows: - -VIDIOC_S_CROP: sets location and sizes of the sensor window. Unit is one sensor -pixel. Changing sensor window sizes preserves any scaling factors, therefore -user window sizes change as well. - -VIDIOC_S_FMT: sets user window. Should preserve previously set sensor window as -much as possible by modifying scaling factors. If the sensor window cannot be -preserved precisely, it may be changed too. - -In soc-camera there are two locations, where scaling and cropping can take -place: in the camera driver and in the host driver. User ioctls are first passed -to the host driver, which then generally passes them down to the camera driver. -It is more efficient to perform scaling and cropping in the camera driver to -save camera bus bandwidth and maximise the framerate. However, if the camera -driver failed to set the required parameters with sufficient precision, the host -driver may decide to also use its own scaling and cropping to fulfill the user's -request. - -Camera drivers are interfaced to the soc-camera core and to host drivers over -the v4l2-subdev API, which is completely functional, it doesn't pass any data. -Therefore all camera drivers shall reply to .g_fmt() requests with their current -output geometry. This is necessary to correctly configure the camera bus. -.s_fmt() and .try_fmt() have to be implemented too. Sensor window and scaling -factors have to be maintained by camera drivers internally. According to the -V4L2 API all capture drivers must support the VIDIOC_CROPCAP ioctl, hence we -rely on camera drivers implementing .cropcap(). If the camera driver does not -support cropping, it may choose to not implement .s_crop(), but to enable -cropping support by the camera host driver at least the .g_crop method must be -implemented. - -User window geometry is kept in .user_width and .user_height fields in struct -soc_camera_device and used by the soc-camera core and host drivers. The core -updates these fields upon successful completion of a .s_fmt() call, but if these -fields change elsewhere, e.g. during .s_crop() processing, the host driver is -responsible for updating them. - -Format conversion ------------------ - -V4L2 distinguishes between pixel formats, as they are stored in memory, and as -they are transferred over a media bus. Soc-camera provides support to -conveniently manage these formats. A table of standard transformations is -maintained by soc-camera core, which describes, what FOURCC pixel format will -be obtained, if a media-bus pixel format is stored in memory according to -certain rules. E.g. if MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV8_2X8 data is sampled with 8 bits per -sample and stored in memory in the little-endian order with no gaps between -bytes, data in memory will represent the V4L2_PIX_FMT_YUYV FOURCC format. These -standard transformations will be used by soc-camera or by camera host drivers to -configure camera drivers to produce the FOURCC format, requested by the user, -using the VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl().

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. - - -2. 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. - - -4. 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. - - -5. 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. - - -6. IOCTL reference - ----- UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP - Map a UVC control to a V4L2 control ---- - -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. - -Data types: - * struct uvc_xu_control_mapping - - __u32 id V4L2 control identifier - __u8 name[32] V4L2 control name - __u8 entity[16] UVC extension unit GUID - __u8 selector UVC control selector - __u8 size V4L2 control size (in bits) - __u8 offset V4L2 control offset (in bits) - enum v4l2_ctrl_type - v4l2_type V4L2 control type - enum uvc_control_data_type - data_type UVC control data type - struct uvc_menu_info - *menu_info Array of menu entries (for menu controls only) - __u32 menu_count Number of menu entries (for menu controls only) - - * struct uvc_menu_info - - __u32 value Menu entry value used by the device - __u8 name[32] Menu entry name - - - * enum uvc_control_data_type - - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_RAW Raw control (byte array) - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_SIGNED Signed integer - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_UNSIGNED Unsigned integer - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_BOOLEAN Boolean - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_ENUM Enumeration - UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_BITMASK Bitmask - - ----- 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.

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.

By default set to 1. Up to 64 - instances can be created. - -node_types: which devices should each driver instance create. An array of - hexadecimal values, one for each instance. The default is 0x1d3d. - Each value is a bitmask with the following meaning: - bit 0: Video Capture node - bit 2-3: VBI Capture node: 0 = none, 1 = raw vbi, 2 = sliced vbi, 3 = both - bit 4: Radio Receiver node - bit 5: Software Defined Radio Receiver node - bit 8: Video Output node - bit 10-11: VBI Output node: 0 = none, 1 = raw vbi, 2 = sliced vbi, 3 = both - bit 12: Radio Transmitter node - bit 16: Framebuffer for testing overlays - - So to create four instances, the first two with just one video capture - device, the second two with just one video output device you would pass - these module options to vivid: - - n_devs=4 node_types=0x1,0x1,0x100,0x100 - -num_inputs: the number of inputs, one for each instance. By default 4 inputs - are created for each video capture device. At most 16 inputs can be created, - and there must be at least one. - -input_types: the input types for each instance, the default is 0xe4. This defines - what the type of each input is when the inputs are created for each driver - instance. This is a hexadecimal value with up to 16 pairs of bits, each - pair gives the type and bits 0-1 map to input 0, bits 2-3 map to input 1, - 30-31 map to input 15. Each pair of bits has the following meaning: - - 00: this is a webcam input - 01: this is a TV tuner input - 10: this is an S-Video input - 11: this is an HDMI input - - So to create a video capture device with 8 inputs where input 0 is a TV - tuner, inputs 1-3 are S-Video inputs and inputs 4-7 are HDMI inputs you - would use the following module options: - - num_inputs=8 input_types=0xffa9 - -num_outputs: the number of outputs, one for each instance. By default 2 outputs - are created for each video output device. At most 16 outputs can be - created, and there must be at least one. - -output_types: the output types for each instance, the default is 0x02.

This is a hexadecimal value with up to 16 bits, each bit - gives the type and bit 0 maps to output 0, bit 1 maps to output 1, bit - 15 maps to output 15. The meaning of each bit is as follows: - - 0: this is an S-Video output - 1: this is an HDMI output - - So to create a video output device with 8 outputs where outputs 0-3 are - S-Video outputs and outputs 4-7 are HDMI outputs you would use the - following module options: - - num_outputs=8 output_types=0xf0 - -vid_cap_nr: give the desired videoX start number for each video capture device. - The default is -1 which will just take the first free number. This allows - you to map capture video nodes to specific videoX device nodes. Example: - - n_devs=4 vid_cap_nr=2,4,6,8 - - This will attempt to assign /dev/video2 for the video capture device of - the first vivid instance, video4 for the next up to video8 for the last - instance. If it can't succeed, then it will just take the next free - number. - -vid_out_nr: give the desired videoX start number for each video output device. - The default is -1 which will just take the first free number. - -vbi_cap_nr: give the desired vbiX start number for each vbi capture device. - The default is -1 which will just take the first free number. - -vbi_out_nr: give the desired vbiX start number for each vbi output device. - The default is -1 which will just take the first free number. - -radio_rx_nr: give the desired radioX start number for each radio receiver device. - The default is -1 which will just take the first free number. - -radio_tx_nr: give the desired radioX start number for each radio transmitter - device. The default is -1 which will just take the first free number. - -sdr_cap_nr: give the desired swradioX start number for each SDR capture device. - The default is -1 which will just take the first free number. - -ccs_cap_mode: specify the allowed video capture crop/compose/scaling combination - for each driver instance. Video capture devices can have any combination - of cropping, composing and scaling capabilities and this will tell the - vivid driver which of those is should emulate. By default the user can - select this through controls. - - The value is either -1 (controlled by the user) or a set of three bits, - each enabling (1) or disabling (0) one of the features: - - bit 0: Enable crop support. Cropping will take only part of the - incoming picture. - bit 1: Enable compose support. Composing will copy the incoming - picture into a larger buffer. - bit 2: Enable scaling support. Scaling can scale the incoming - picture. The scaler of the vivid driver can enlarge up - or down to four times the original size. The scaler is - very simple and low-quality. Simplicity and speed were - key, not quality. - - Note that this value is ignored by webcam inputs: those enumerate - discrete framesizes and that is incompatible with cropping, composing - or scaling. - -ccs_out_mode: specify the allowed video output crop/compose/scaling combination - for each driver instance. Video output devices can have any combination - of cropping, composing and scaling capabilities and this will tell the - vivid driver which of those is should emulate. By default the user can - select this through controls. - - The value is either -1 (controlled by the user) or a set of three bits, - each enabling (1) or disabling (0) one of the features: - - bit 0: Enable crop support. Cropping will take only part of the - outgoing buffer. - bit 1: Enable compose support. Composing will copy the incoming - buffer into a larger picture frame. - bit 2: Enable scaling support. Scaling can scale the incoming - buffer. The scaler of the vivid driver can enlarge up - or down to four times the original size. The scaler is - very simple and low-quality. Simplicity and speed were - key, not quality. - -multiplanar: select whether each device instance supports multi-planar formats, - and thus the V4L2 multi-planar API. By default device instances are - single-planar. - - This module option can override that for each instance. Values are: - - 1: this is a single-planar instance. - 2: this is a multi-planar instance. - -vivid_debug: enable driver debugging info - -no_error_inj: if set disable the error injecting controls. This option is - needed in order to run a tool like v4l2-compliance. Tools like that - exercise all controls including a control like 'Disconnect' which - emulates a USB disconnect, making the device inaccessible and so - all tests that v4l2-compliance is doing will fail afterwards. - - There may be other situations as well where you want to disable the - error injection support of vivid. When this option is set, then the - controls that select crop, compose and scale behavior are also - removed. Unless overridden by ccs_cap_mode and/or ccs_out_mode the - will default to enabling crop, compose and scaling. - -Taken together, all these module options allow you to precisely customize -the driver behavior and test your application with all sorts of permutations. -It is also very suitable to emulate hardware that is not yet available, e.g. -when developing software for a new upcoming device. - - -Section 2: Video Capture ------------------------- - -This is probably the most frequently used feature. The video capture device -can be configured by using the module options num_inputs, input_types and -ccs_cap_mode (see section 1 for more detailed information), but by default -four inputs are configured: a webcam, a TV tuner, an S-Video and an HDMI -input, one input for each input type. Those are described in more detail -below. - -Special attention has been given to the rate at which new frames become -available. The jitter will be around 1 jiffie (that depends on the HZ -configuration of your kernel, so usually 1/100, 1/250 or 1/1000 of a second), -but the long-term behavior is exactly following the framerate. So a -framerate of 59.94 Hz is really different from 60 Hz. If the framerate -exceeds your kernel's HZ value, then you will get dropped frames, but the -frame/field sequence counting will keep track of that so the sequence -count will skip whenever frames are dropped. - - -Section 2.1: Webcam Input -------------------------- - -The webcam input supports three framesizes: 320x180, 640x360 and 1280x720. It -supports frames per second settings of 10, 15, 25, 30, 50 and 60 fps. Which ones -are available depends on the chosen framesize: the larger the framesize, the -lower the maximum frames per second. - -The initially selected colorspace when you switch to the webcam input will be -sRGB. - - -Section 2.2: TV and S-Video Inputs ----------------------------------- - -The only difference between the TV and S-Video input is that the TV has a -tuner. Otherwise they behave identically. - -These inputs support audio inputs as well: one TV and one Line-In. They -both support all TV standards. If the standard is queried, then the Vivid -controls 'Standard Signal Mode' and 'Standard' determine what -the result will be. - -These inputs support all combinations of the field setting. Special care has -been taken to faithfully reproduce how fields are handled for the different -TV standards. This is particularly noticeable when generating a horizontally -moving image so the temporal effect of using interlaced formats becomes clearly -visible. For 50 Hz standards the top field is the oldest and the bottom field -is the newest in time. For 60 Hz standards that is reversed: the bottom field -is the oldest and the top field is the newest in time. - -When you start capturing in V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE mode the first buffer will -contain the top field for 50 Hz standards and the bottom field for 60 Hz -standards. This is what capture hardware does as well. - -Finally, for PAL/SECAM standards the first half of the top line contains noise. -This simulates the Wide Screen Signal that is commonly placed there. - -The initially selected colorspace when you switch to the TV or S-Video input -will be SMPTE-170M. - -The pixel aspect ratio will depend on the TV standard. The video aspect ratio -can be selected through the 'Standard Aspect Ratio' Vivid control. -Choices are '4x3', '16x9' which will give letterboxed widescreen video and -'16x9 Anamorphic' which will give full screen squashed anamorphic widescreen -video that will need to be scaled accordingly. - -The TV 'tuner' supports a frequency range of 44-958 MHz. Channels are available -every 6 MHz, starting from 49.25 MHz. For each channel the generated image -will be in color for the +/- 0.25 MHz around it, and in grayscale for -+/- 1 MHz around the channel. Beyond that it is just noise. The VIDIOC_G_TUNER -ioctl will return 100% signal strength for +/- 0.25 MHz and 50% for +/- 1 MHz. -It will also return correct afc values to show whether the frequency is too -low or too high. - -The audio subchannels that are returned are MONO for the +/- 1 MHz range around -a valid channel frequency. When the frequency is within +/- 0.25 MHz of the -channel it will return either MONO, STEREO, either MONO | SAP (for NTSC) or -LANG1 | LANG2 (for others), or STEREO | SAP. - -Which one is returned depends on the chosen channel, each next valid channel -will cycle through the possible audio subchannel combinations. This allows -you to test the various combinations by just switching channels.. - -Finally, for these inputs the v4l2_timecode struct is filled in in the -dequeued v4l2_buffer struct. - - -Section 2.3: HDMI Input ------------------------ - -The HDMI inputs supports all CEA-861 and DMT timings, both progressive and -interlaced, for pixelclock frequencies between 25 and 600 MHz. The field -mode for interlaced formats is always V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE. For HDMI the -field order is always top field first, and when you start capturing an -interlaced format you will receive the top field first. - -The initially selected colorspace when you switch to the HDMI input or -select an HDMI timing is based on the format resolution: for resolutions -less than or equal to 720x576 the colorspace is set to SMPTE-170M, for -others it is set to REC-709 (CEA-861 timings) or sRGB (VESA DMT timings). - -The pixel aspect ratio will depend on the HDMI timing: for 720x480 is it -set as for the NTSC TV standard, for 720x576 it is set as for the PAL TV -standard, and for all others a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio is returned. - -The video aspect ratio can be selected through the 'DV Timings Aspect Ratio' -Vivid control. Choices are 'Source Width x Height' (just use the -same ratio as the chosen format), '4x3' or '16x9', either of which can -result in pillarboxed or letterboxed video. - -For HDMI inputs it is possible to set the EDID. By default a simple EDID -is provided. You can only set the EDID for HDMI inputs. Internally, however, -the EDID is shared between all HDMI inputs. - -No interpretation is done of the EDID data with the exception of the -physical address. See the CEC section for more details. - -There is a maximum of 15 HDMI inputs (if there are more, then they will be -reduced to 15) since that's the limitation of the EDID physical address. - - -Section 3: Video Output ------------------------ - -The video output device can be configured by using the module options -num_outputs, output_types and ccs_out_mode (see section 1 for more detailed -information), but by default two outputs are configured: an S-Video and an -HDMI input, one output for each output type. Those are described in more detail -below. - -Like with video capture the framerate is also exact in the long term. - - -Section 3.1: S-Video Output ---------------------------- - -This output supports audio outputs as well: "Line-Out 1" and "Line-Out 2". -The S-Video output supports all TV standards. - -This output supports all combinations of the field setting. - -The initially selected colorspace when you switch to the TV or S-Video input -will be SMPTE-170M. - - -Section 3.2: HDMI Output ------------------------- - -The HDMI output supports all CEA-861 and DMT timings, both progressive and -interlaced, for pixelclock frequencies between 25 and 600 MHz. The field -mode for interlaced formats is always V4L2_FIELD_ALTERNATE. - -The initially selected colorspace when you switch to the HDMI output or -select an HDMI timing is based on the format resolution: for resolutions -less than or equal to 720x576 the colorspace is set to SMPTE-170M, for -others it is set to REC-709 (CEA-861 timings) or sRGB (VESA DMT timings). - -The pixel aspect ratio will depend on the HDMI timing: for 720x480 is it -set as for the NTSC TV standard, for 720x576 it is set as for the PAL TV -standard, and for all others a 1:1 pixel aspect ratio is returned. - -An HDMI output has a valid EDID which can be obtained through VIDIOC_G_EDID. - -There is a maximum of 15 HDMI outputs (if there are more, then they will be -reduced to 15) since that's the limitation of the EDID physical address. See -also the CEC section for more details. - -Section 4: VBI Capture ----------------------- - -There are three types of VBI capture devices: those that only support raw -(undecoded) VBI, those that only support sliced (decoded) VBI and those that -support both. This is determined by the node_types module option. In all -cases the driver will generate valid VBI data: for 60 Hz standards it will -generate Closed Caption and XDS data. The closed caption stream will -alternate between "Hello world!" and "Closed captions test" every second. -The XDS stream will give the current time once a minute. For 50 Hz standards -it will generate the Wide Screen Signal which is based on the actual Video -Aspect Ratio control setting and teletext pages 100-159, one page per frame. - -The VBI device will only work for the S-Video and TV inputs, it will give -back an error if the current input is a webcam or HDMI. - - -Section 5: VBI Output ---------------------- - -There are three types of VBI output devices: those that only support raw -(undecoded) VBI, those that only support sliced (decoded) VBI and those that -support both. This is determined by the node_types module option. - -The sliced VBI output supports the Wide Screen Signal and the teletext signal -for 50 Hz standards and Closed Captioning + XDS for 60 Hz standards. - -The VBI device will only work for the S-Video output, it will give -back an error if the current output is HDMI. - - -Section 6: Radio Receiver -------------------------- - -The radio receiver emulates an FM/AM/SW receiver. The FM band also supports RDS. -The frequency ranges are: - - FM: 64 MHz - 108 MHz - AM: 520 kHz - 1710 kHz - SW: 2300 kHz - 26.1 MHz - -Valid channels are emulated every 1 MHz for FM and every 100 kHz for AM and SW. -The signal strength decreases the further the frequency is from the valid -frequency until it becomes 0% at +/- 50 kHz (FM) or 5 kHz (AM/SW) from the -ideal frequency. The initial frequency when the driver is loaded is set to -95 MHz. - -The FM receiver supports RDS as well, both using 'Block I/O' and 'Controls' -modes. In the 'Controls' mode the RDS information is stored in read-only -controls. These controls are updated every time the frequency is changed, -or when the tuner status is requested. The Block I/O method uses the read() -interface to pass the RDS blocks on to the application for decoding. - -The RDS signal is 'detected' for +/- 12.5 kHz around the channel frequency, -and the further the frequency is away from the valid frequency the more RDS -errors are randomly introduced into the block I/O stream, up to 50% of all -blocks if you are +/- 12.5 kHz from the channel frequency. All four errors -can occur in equal proportions: blocks marked 'CORRECTED', blocks marked -'ERROR', blocks marked 'INVALID' and dropped blocks. - -The generated RDS stream contains all the standard fields contained in a -0B group, and also radio text and the current time. - -The receiver supports HW frequency seek, either in Bounded mode, Wrap Around -mode or both, which is configurable with the "Radio HW Seek Mode" control. - - -Section 7: Radio Transmitter ----------------------------- - -The radio transmitter emulates an FM/AM/SW transmitter. The FM band also supports RDS. -The frequency ranges are: - - FM: 64 MHz - 108 MHz - AM: 520 kHz - 1710 kHz - SW: 2300 kHz - 26.1 MHz - -The initial frequency when the driver is loaded is 95.5 MHz. - -The FM transmitter supports RDS as well, both using 'Block I/O' and 'Controls' -modes. In the 'Controls' mode the transmitted RDS information is configured -using controls, and in 'Block I/O' mode the blocks are passed to the driver -using write(). - - -Section 8: Software Defined Radio Receiver ------------------------------------------- - -The SDR receiver has three frequency bands for the ADC tuner: - - - 300 kHz - - 900 kHz - 2800 kHz - - 3200 kHz - -The RF tuner supports 50 MHz - 2000 MHz. - -The generated data contains the In-phase and Quadrature components of a -1 kHz tone that has an amplitude of sqrt(2). - - -Section 9: Controls -------------------- - -Different devices support different controls. The sections below will describe -each control and which devices support them. - - -Section 9.1: User Controls - Test Controls ------------------------------------------- - -The Button, Boolean, Integer 32 Bits, Integer 64 Bits, Menu, String, Bitmask and -Integer Menu are controls that represent all possible control types. The Menu -control and the Integer Menu control both have 'holes' in their menu list, -meaning that one or more menu items return EINVAL when VIDIOC_QUERYMENU is called. -Both menu controls also have a non-zero minimum control value. These features -allow you to check if your application can handle such things correctly. -These controls are supported for every device type. - - -Section 9.2: User Controls - Video Capture ------------------------------------------- - -The following controls are specific to video capture. - -The Brightness, Contrast, Saturation and Hue controls actually work and are -standard. There is one special feature with the Brightness control: each -video input has its own brightness value, so changing input will restore -the brightness for that input. In addition, each video input uses a different -brightness range (minimum and maximum control values). Switching inputs will -cause a control event to be sent with the V4L2_EVENT_CTRL_CH_RANGE flag set. -This allows you to test controls that can change their range. - -The 'Gain, Automatic' and Gain controls can be used to test volatile controls: -if 'Gain, Automatic' is set, then the Gain control is volatile and changes -constantly. If 'Gain, Automatic' is cleared, then the Gain control is a normal -control. - -The 'Horizontal Flip' and 'Vertical Flip' controls can be used to flip the -image. These combine with the 'Sensor Flipped Horizontally/Vertically' Vivid -controls. - -The 'Alpha Component' control can be used to set the alpha component for -formats containing an alpha channel. - - -Section 9.3: User Controls - Audio ----------------------------------- - -The following controls are specific to video capture and output and radio -receivers and transmitters. - -The 'Volume' and 'Mute' audio controls are typical for such devices to -control the volume and mute the audio. They don't actually do anything in -the vivid driver. - - -Section 9.4: Vivid Controls ---------------------------- - -These vivid custom controls control the image generation, error injection, etc. - - -Section 9.4.1: Test Pattern Controls ------------------------------------- - -The Test Pattern Controls are all specific to video capture. - -Test Pattern: selects which test pattern to use. Use the CSC Colorbar for - testing colorspace conversions: the colors used in that test pattern - map to valid colors in all colorspaces. The colorspace conversion - is disabled for the other test patterns. - -OSD Text Mode: selects whether the text superimposed on the - test pattern should be shown, and if so, whether only counters should - be displayed or the full text. - -Horizontal Movement: selects whether the test pattern should - move to the left or right and at what speed. - -Vertical Movement: does the same for the vertical direction. - -Show Border: show a two-pixel wide border at the edge of the actual image, - excluding letter or pillarboxing. - -Show Square: show a square in the middle of the image. If the image is - displayed with the correct pixel and image aspect ratio corrections, - then the width and height of the square on the monitor should be - the same. - -Insert SAV Code in Image: adds a SAV (Start of Active Video) code to the image. - This can be used to check if such codes in the image are inadvertently - interpreted instead of being ignored. - -Insert EAV Code in Image: does the same for the EAV (End of Active Video) code. - - -Section 9.4.2: Capture Feature Selection Controls -------------------------------------------------- - -These controls are all specific to video capture. - -Sensor Flipped Horizontally: the image is flipped horizontally and the - V4L2_IN_ST_HFLIP input status flag is set. This emulates the case where - a sensor is for example mounted upside down. - -Sensor Flipped Vertically: the image is flipped vertically and the - V4L2_IN_ST_VFLIP input status flag is set. This emulates the case where - a sensor is for example mounted upside down. - -Standard Aspect Ratio: selects if the image aspect ratio as used for the TV or - S-Video input should be 4x3, 16x9 or anamorphic widescreen. This may - introduce letterboxing. - -DV Timings Aspect Ratio: selects if the image aspect ratio as used for the HDMI - input should be the same as the source width and height ratio, or if - it should be 4x3 or 16x9. This may introduce letter or pillarboxing. - -Timestamp Source: selects when the timestamp for each buffer is taken. - -Colorspace: selects which colorspace should be used when generating the image. - This only applies if the CSC Colorbar test pattern is selected, - otherwise the test pattern will go through unconverted. - This behavior is also what you want, since a 75% Colorbar - should really have 75% signal intensity and should not be affected - by colorspace conversions. - - Changing the colorspace will result in the V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE - to be sent since it emulates a detected colorspace change. - -Transfer Function: selects which colorspace transfer function should be used when - generating an image. This only applies if the CSC Colorbar test pattern is - selected, otherwise the test pattern will go through unconverted. - This behavior is also what you want, since a 75% Colorbar - should really have 75% signal intensity and should not be affected - by colorspace conversions. - - Changing the transfer function will result in the V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE - to be sent since it emulates a detected colorspace change. - -Y'CbCr Encoding: selects which Y'CbCr encoding should be used when generating - a Y'CbCr image. This only applies if the format is set to a Y'CbCr format - as opposed to an RGB format. - - Changing the Y'CbCr encoding will result in the V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE - to be sent since it emulates a detected colorspace change. - -Quantization: selects which quantization should be used for the RGB or Y'CbCr - encoding when generating the test pattern. - - Changing the quantization will result in the V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE - to be sent since it emulates a detected colorspace change. - -Limited RGB Range (16-235): selects if the RGB range of the HDMI source should - be limited or full range. This combines with the Digital Video 'Rx RGB - Quantization Range' control and can be used to test what happens if - a source provides you with the wrong quantization range information. - See the description of that control for more details. - -Apply Alpha To Red Only: apply the alpha channel as set by the 'Alpha Component' - user control to the red color of the test pattern only. - -Enable Capture Cropping: enables crop support. This control is only present if - the ccs_cap_mode module option is set to the default value of -1 and if - the no_error_inj module option is set to 0 (the default). - -Enable Capture Composing: enables composing support. This control is only - present if the ccs_cap_mode module option is set to the default value of - -1 and if the no_error_inj module option is set to 0 (the default). - -Enable Capture Scaler: enables support for a scaler (maximum 4 times upscaling - and downscaling). This control is only present if the ccs_cap_mode - module option is set to the default value of -1 and if the no_error_inj - module option is set to 0 (the default). - -Maximum EDID Blocks: determines how many EDID blocks the driver supports. - Note that the vivid driver does not actually interpret new EDID - data, it just stores it. It allows for up to 256 EDID blocks - which is the maximum supported by the standard. - -Fill Percentage of Frame: can be used to draw only the top X percent - of the image. Since each frame has to be drawn by the driver, this - demands a lot of the CPU. For large resolutions this becomes - problematic. By drawing only part of the image this CPU load can - be reduced. - - -Section 9.4.3: Output Feature Selection Controls ------------------------------------------------- - -These controls are all specific to video output. - -Enable Output Cropping: enables crop support. This control is only present if - the ccs_out_mode module option is set to the default value of -1 and if - the no_error_inj module option is set to 0 (the default). - -Enable Output Composing: enables composing support. This control is only - present if the ccs_out_mode module option is set to the default value of - -1 and if the no_error_inj module option is set to 0 (the default). - -Enable Output Scaler: enables support for a scaler (maximum 4 times upscaling - and downscaling). This control is only present if the ccs_out_mode - module option is set to the default value of -1 and if the no_error_inj - module option is set to 0 (the default). - - -Section 9.4.4: Error Injection Controls ---------------------------------------- - -The following two controls are only valid for video and vbi capture. - -Standard Signal Mode: selects the behavior of VIDIOC_QUERYSTD: what should - it return? - - Changing this control will result in the V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE - to be sent since it emulates a changed input condition (e.g. a cable - was plugged in or out). - -Standard: selects the standard that VIDIOC_QUERYSTD should return if the - previous control is set to "Selected Standard". - - Changing this control will result in the V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE - to be sent since it emulates a changed input standard. - - -The following two controls are only valid for video capture. - -DV Timings Signal Mode: selects the behavior of VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS: what - should it return? - - Changing this control will result in the V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE - to be sent since it emulates a changed input condition (e.g. a cable - was plugged in or out). - -DV Timings: selects the timings the VIDIOC_QUERY_DV_TIMINGS should return - if the previous control is set to "Selected DV Timings". - - Changing this control will result in the V4L2_EVENT_SOURCE_CHANGE - to be sent since it emulates changed input timings. - - -The following controls are only present if the no_error_inj module option -is set to 0 (the default). These controls are valid for video and vbi -capture and output streams and for the SDR capture device except for the -Disconnect control which is valid for all devices. - -Wrap Sequence Number: test what happens when you wrap the sequence number in - struct v4l2_buffer around. - -Wrap Timestamp: test what happens when you wrap the timestamp in struct - v4l2_buffer around. - -Percentage of Dropped Buffers: sets the percentage of buffers that - are never returned by the driver (i.e., they are dropped). - -Disconnect: emulates a USB disconnect. The device will act as if it has - been disconnected. Only after all open filehandles to the device - node have been closed will the device become 'connected' again. - -Inject V4L2_BUF_FLAG_ERROR: when pressed, the next frame returned by - the driver will have the error flag set (i.e. the frame is marked - corrupt). - -Inject VIDIOC_REQBUFS Error: when pressed, the next REQBUFS or CREATE_BUFS - ioctl call will fail with an error. To be precise: the videobuf2 - queue_setup() op will return -EINVAL. - -Inject VIDIOC_QBUF Error: when pressed, the next VIDIOC_QBUF or - VIDIOC_PREPARE_BUFFER ioctl call will fail with an error. To be - precise: the videobuf2 buf_prepare() op will return -EINVAL. - -Inject VIDIOC_STREAMON Error: when pressed, the next VIDIOC_STREAMON ioctl - call will fail with an error. To be precise: the videobuf2 - start_streaming() op will return -EINVAL. - -Inject Fatal Streaming Error: when pressed, the streaming core will be - marked as having suffered a fatal error, the only way to recover - from that is to stop streaming. To be precise: the videobuf2 - vb2_queue_error() function is called. - - -Section 9.4.5: VBI Raw Capture Controls ---------------------------------------- - -Interlaced VBI Format: if set, then the raw VBI data will be interlaced instead - of providing it grouped by field. - - -Section 9.5: Digital Video Controls ------------------------------------ - -Rx RGB Quantization Range: sets the RGB quantization detection of the HDMI - input. This combines with the Vivid 'Limited RGB Range (16-235)' - control and can be used to test what happens if a source provides - you with the wrong quantization range information. This can be tested - by selecting an HDMI input, setting this control to Full or Limited - range and selecting the opposite in the 'Limited RGB Range (16-235)' - control. The effect is easy to see if the 'Gray Ramp' test pattern - is selected. - -Tx RGB Quantization Range: sets the RGB quantization detection of the HDMI - output. It is currently not used for anything in vivid, but most HDMI - transmitters would typically have this control. - -Transmit Mode: sets the transmit mode of the HDMI output to HDMI or DVI-D. This - affects the reported colorspace since DVI_D outputs will always use - sRGB. - - -Section 9.6: FM Radio Receiver Controls ---------------------------------------- - -RDS Reception: set if the RDS receiver should be enabled. - -RDS Program Type: -RDS PS Name: -RDS Radio Text: -RDS Traffic Announcement: -RDS Traffic Program: -RDS Music: these are all read-only controls. If RDS Rx I/O Mode is set to - "Block I/O", then they are inactive as well. If RDS Rx I/O Mode is set - to "Controls", then these controls report the received RDS data. Note - that the vivid implementation of this is pretty basic: they are only - updated when you set a new frequency or when you get the tuner status - (VIDIOC_G_TUNER). - -Radio HW Seek Mode: can be one of "Bounded", "Wrap Around" or "Both". This - determines if VIDIOC_S_HW_FREQ_SEEK will be bounded by the frequency - range or wrap-around or if it is selectable by the user. - -Radio Programmable HW Seek: if set, then the user can provide the lower and - upper bound of the HW Seek. Otherwise the frequency range boundaries - will be used. - -Generate RBDS Instead of RDS: if set, then generate RBDS (the US variant of - RDS) data instead of RDS (European-style RDS). This affects only the - PICODE and PTY codes. - -RDS Rx I/O Mode: this can be "Block I/O" where the RDS blocks have to be read() - by the application, or "Controls" where the RDS data is provided by - the RDS controls mentioned above. - - -Section 9.7: FM Radio Modulator Controls ----------------------------------------- - -RDS Program ID: -RDS Program Type: -RDS PS Name: -RDS Radio Text: -RDS Stereo: -RDS Artificial Head: -RDS Compressed: -RDS Dynamic PTY: -RDS Traffic Announcement: -RDS Traffic Program: -RDS Music: these are all controls that set the RDS data that is transmitted by - the FM modulator. - -RDS Tx I/O Mode: this can be "Block I/O" where the application has to use write() - to pass the RDS blocks to the driver, or "Controls" where the RDS data is - provided by the RDS controls mentioned above. - - -Section 10: Video, VBI and RDS Looping --------------------------------------- - -The vivid driver supports looping of video output to video input, VBI output -to VBI input and RDS output to RDS input. For video/VBI looping this emulates -as if a cable was hooked up between the output and input connector. So video -and VBI looping is only supported between S-Video and HDMI inputs and outputs. -VBI is only valid for S-Video as it makes no sense for HDMI. - -Since radio is wireless this looping always happens if the radio receiver -frequency is close to the radio transmitter frequency. In that case the radio -transmitter will 'override' the emulated radio stations. - -Looping is currently supported only between devices created by the same -vivid driver instance. - - -Section 10.1: Video and Sliced VBI looping ------------------------------------------- - -The way to enable video/VBI looping is currently fairly crude. A 'Loop Video' -control is available in the "Vivid" control class of the video -capture and VBI capture devices. When checked the video looping will be enabled. -Once enabled any video S-Video or HDMI input will show a static test pattern -until the video output has started. At that time the video output will be -looped to the video input provided that: - -- the input type matches the output type. So the HDMI input cannot receive - video from the S-Video output. - -- the video resolution of the video input must match that of the video output. - So it is not possible to loop a 50 Hz (720x576) S-Video output to a 60 Hz - (720x480) S-Video input, or a 720p60 HDMI output to a 1080p30 input. - -- the pixel formats must be identical on both sides. Otherwise the driver would - have to do pixel format conversion as well, and that's taking things too far. - -- the field settings must be identical on both sides. Same reason as above: - requiring the driver to convert from one field format to another complicated - matters too much. This also prohibits capturing with 'Field Top' or 'Field - Bottom' when the output video is set to 'Field Alternate'. This combination, - while legal, became too complicated to support. Both sides have to be 'Field - Alternate' for this to work. Also note that for this specific case the - sequence and field counting in struct v4l2_buffer on the capture side may not - be 100% accurate. - -- field settings V4L2_FIELD_SEQ_TB/BT are not supported. While it is possible to - implement this, it would mean a lot of work to get this right. Since these - field values are rarely used the decision was made not to implement this for - now. - -- on the input side the "Standard Signal Mode" for the S-Video input or the - "DV Timings Signal Mode" for the HDMI input should be configured so that a - valid signal is passed to the video input. - -The framerates do not have to match, although this might change in the future. - -By default you will see the OSD text superimposed on top of the looped video. -This can be turned off by changing the "OSD Text Mode" control of the video -capture device. - -For VBI looping to work all of the above must be valid and in addition the vbi -output must be configured for sliced VBI. The VBI capture side can be configured -for either raw or sliced VBI. Note that at the moment only CC/XDS (60 Hz formats) -and WSS (50 Hz formats) VBI data is looped. Teletext VBI data is not looped. - - -Section 10.2: Radio & RDS Looping ---------------------------------- - -As mentioned in section 6 the radio receiver emulates stations are regular -frequency intervals. Depending on the frequency of the radio receiver a -signal strength value is calculated (this is returned by VIDIOC_G_TUNER). -However, it will also look at the frequency set by the radio transmitter and -if that results in a higher signal strength than the settings of the radio -transmitter will be used as if it was a valid station. This also includes -the RDS data (if any) that the transmitter 'transmits'. This is received -faithfully on the receiver side. Note that when the driver is loaded the -frequencies of the radio receiver and transmitter are not identical, so -initially no looping takes place. - - -Section 11: Cropping, Composing, Scaling ----------------------------------------- - -This driver supports cropping, composing and scaling in any combination. Normally -which features are supported can be selected through the Vivid controls, -but it is also possible to hardcode it when the module is loaded through the -ccs_cap_mode and ccs_out_mode module options. See section 1 on the details of -these module options. - -This allows you to test your application for all these variations. - -Note that the webcam input never supports cropping, composing or scaling. That -only applies to the TV/S-Video/HDMI inputs and outputs. The reason is that -webcams, including this virtual implementation, normally use -VIDIOC_ENUM_FRAMESIZES to list a set of discrete framesizes that it supports. -And that does not combine with cropping, composing or scaling. This is -primarily a limitation of the V4L2 API which is carefully reproduced here. - -The minimum and maximum resolutions that the scaler can achieve are 16x16 and -(4096 * 4) x (2160 x 4), but it can only scale up or down by a factor of 4 or -less. So for a source resolution of 1280x720 the minimum the scaler can do is -320x180 and the maximum is 5120x2880. You can play around with this using the -qv4l2 test tool and you will see these dependencies. - -This driver also supports larger 'bytesperline' settings, something that -VIDIOC_S_FMT allows but that few drivers implement. - -The scaler is a simple scaler that uses the Coarse Bresenham algorithm. It's -designed for speed and simplicity, not quality. - -If the combination of crop, compose and scaling allows it, then it is possible -to change crop and compose rectangles on the fly. - - -Section 12: Formats -------------------- - -The driver supports all the regular packed and planar 4:4:4, 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 -YUYV formats, 8, 16, 24 and 32 RGB packed formats and various multiplanar -formats. - -The alpha component can be set through the 'Alpha Component' User control -for those formats that support it. If the 'Apply Alpha To Red Only' control -is set, then the alpha component is only used for the color red and set to -0 otherwise. - -The driver has to be configured to support the multiplanar formats. By default -the driver instances are single-planar. This can be changed by setting the -multiplanar module option, see section 1 for more details on that option. - -If the driver instance is using the multiplanar formats/API, then the first -single planar format (YUYV) and the multiplanar NV16M and NV61M formats the -will have a plane that has a non-zero data_offset of 128 bytes. It is rare for -data_offset to be non-zero, so this is a useful feature for testing applications. - -Video output will also honor any data_offset that the application set. - - -Section 13: Capture Overlay ---------------------------- - -Note: capture overlay support is implemented primarily to test the existing -V4L2 capture overlay API. In practice few if any GPUs support such overlays -anymore, and neither are they generally needed anymore since modern hardware -is so much more capable. By setting flag 0x10000 in the node_types module -option the vivid driver will create a simple framebuffer device that can be -used for testing this API. Whether this API should be used for new drivers is -questionable. - -This driver has support for a destructive capture overlay with bitmap clipping -and list clipping (up to 16 rectangles) capabilities. Overlays are not -supported for multiplanar formats. It also honors the struct v4l2_window field -setting: if it is set to FIELD_TOP or FIELD_BOTTOM and the capture setting is -FIELD_ALTERNATE, then only the top or bottom fields will be copied to the overlay. - -The overlay only works if you are also capturing at that same time. This is a -vivid limitation since it copies from a buffer to the overlay instead of -filling the overlay directly. And if you are not capturing, then no buffers -are available to fill. - -In addition, the pixelformat of the capture format and that of the framebuffer -must be the same for the overlay to work. Otherwise VIDIOC_OVERLAY will return -an error. - -In order to really see what it going on you will need to create two vivid -instances: the first with a framebuffer enabled. You configure the capture -overlay of the second instance to use the framebuffer of the first, then -you start capturing in the second instance. For the first instance you setup -the output overlay for the video output, turn on video looping and capture -to see the blended framebuffer overlay that's being written to by the second -instance. This setup would require the following commands: - - $ sudo modprobe vivid n_devs=2 node_types=0x10101,0x1 - $ v4l2-ctl -d1 --find-fb - /dev/fb1 is the framebuffer associated with base address 0x12800000 - $ sudo v4l2-ctl -d2 --set-fbuf fb=1 - $ v4l2-ctl -d1 --set-fbuf fb=1 - $ v4l2-ctl -d0 --set-fmt-video=pixelformat='AR15' - $ v4l2-ctl -d1 --set-fmt-video-out=pixelformat='AR15' - $ v4l2-ctl -d2 --set-fmt-video=pixelformat='AR15' - $ v4l2-ctl -d0 -i2 - $ v4l2-ctl -d2 -i2 - $ v4l2-ctl -d2 -c horizontal_movement=4 - $ v4l2-ctl -d1 --overlay=1 - $ v4l2-ctl -d1 -c loop_video=1 - $ v4l2-ctl -d2 --stream-mmap --overlay=1 - -And from another console: - - $ v4l2-ctl -d1 --stream-out-mmap - -And yet another console: - - $ qv4l2 - -and start streaming. - -As you can see, this is not for the faint of heart... - - -Section 14: Output Overlay --------------------------- - -Note: output overlays are primarily implemented in order to test the existing -V4L2 output overlay API. Whether this API should be used for new drivers is -questionable. - -This driver has support for an output overlay and is capable of: - - - bitmap clipping, - - list clipping (up to 16 rectangles) - - chromakey - - source chromakey - - global alpha - - local alpha - - local inverse alpha - -Output overlays are not supported for multiplanar formats. In addition, the -pixelformat of the capture format and that of the framebuffer must be the -same for the overlay to work. Otherwise VIDIOC_OVERLAY will return an error. - -Output overlays only work if the driver has been configured to create a -framebuffer by setting flag 0x10000 in the node_types module option. The -created framebuffer has a size of 720x576 and supports ARGB 1:5:5:5 and -RGB 5:6:5. - -In order to see the effects of the various clipping, chromakeying or alpha -processing capabilities you need to turn on video looping and see the results -on the capture side. The use of the clipping, chromakeying or alpha processing -capabilities will slow down the video loop considerably as a lot of checks have -to be done per pixel. - - -Section 15: CEC (Consumer Electronics Control) ----------------------------------------------- - -If there are HDMI inputs then a CEC adapter will be created that has -the same number of input ports. This is the equivalent of e.g. a TV that -has that number of inputs. Each HDMI output will also create a -CEC adapter that is hooked up to the corresponding input port, or (if there -are more outputs than inputs) is not hooked up at all. In other words, -this is the equivalent of hooking up each output device to an input port of -the TV. Any remaining output devices remain unconnected. - -The EDID that each output reads reports a unique CEC physical address that is -based on the physical address of the EDID of the input. So if the EDID of the -receiver has physical address A.B.0.0, then each output will see an EDID -containing physical address A.B.C.0 where C is 1 to the number of inputs. If -there are more outputs than inputs then the remaining outputs have a CEC adapter -that is disabled and reports an invalid physical address. - - -Section 16: Some Future Improvements ------------------------------------- - -Just as a reminder and in no particular order: - -- Add a virtual alsa driver to test audio -- Add virtual sub-devices and media controller support -- Some support for testing compressed video -- Add support to loop raw VBI output to raw VBI input -- Add support to loop teletext sliced VBI output to VBI input -- Fix sequence/field numbering when looping of video with alternate fields -- Add support for V4L2_CID_BG_COLOR for video outputs -- Add ARGB888 overlay support: better testing of the alpha channel -- Improve pixel aspect support in the tpg code by passing a real v4l2_fract -- Use per-queue locks and/or per-device locks to improve throughput -- Add support to loop from a specific output to a specific input across - vivid instances -- The SDR radio should use the same 'frequencies' for stations as the normal - radio receiver, and give back noise if the frequency doesn't match up with - a station frequency -- Make a thread for the RDS generation, that would help in particular for the - "Controls" RDS Rx I/O Mode as the read-only RDS controls could be updated - in real-time. -- Changing the EDID should cause hotplug detect emulation to happen. diff --git a/Documentation/video4linux/zr364xx.txt b/Documentation/video4linux/zr364xx.txt deleted file mode 100644 index d98e4d302977..000000000000 --- a/Documentation/video4linux/zr364xx.txt +++ /dev/null @@ -1,69 +0,0 @@ -Zoran 364xx based USB webcam module version 0.72 -site: http://royale.zerezo.com/zr364xx/ -mail: royale@zerezo.com - -introduction: -This brings support under Linux for the Aiptek PocketDV 3300 in webcam mode. -If you just want to get on your PC the pictures and movies on the camera, you should use the usb-storage module instead. -The driver works with several other cameras in webcam mode (see the list below). -Maybe this code can work for other JPEG/USB cams based on the Coach chips from Zoran? -Possible chipsets are : ZR36430 (ZR36430BGC) and maybe ZR36431, ZR36440, ZR36442... -You can try the experience changing the vendor/product ID values (look at the source code). -You can get these values by looking at /var/log/messages when you plug your camera, or by typing : cat /proc/bus/usb/devices. -If you manage to use your cam with this code, you can send me a mail (royale@zerezo.com) with the name of your cam and a patch if needed. -This is a beta release of the driver. -Since version 0.70, this driver is only compatible with V4L2 API and 2.6.x kernels. -If you need V4L1 or 2.4x kernels support, please use an older version, but the code is not maintained anymore. -Good luck! - -install: -In order to use this driver, you must compile it with your kernel. -Location: Device Drivers -> Multimedia devices -> Video For Linux -> Video Capture Adapters -> V4L USB devices - -usage: -modprobe zr364xx debug=X mode=Y - - debug : set to 1 to enable verbose debug messages - - mode : 0 = 320x240, 1 = 160x120, 2 = 640x480 -You can then use the camera with V4L2 compatible applications, for example Ekiga. -To capture a single image, try this: dd if=/dev/video0 of=test.jpg bs=1M count=1 - -links : -http://mxhaard.free.fr/ (support for many others cams including some Aiptek PocketDV) -http://www.harmwal.nl/pccam880/ (this project also supports cameras based on this chipset) - -supported devices: ------- ------- ----------- ----- -Vendor Product Distributor Model ------- ------- ----------- ----- -0x08ca 0x0109 Aiptek PocketDV 3300 -0x08ca 0x0109 Maxell Maxcam PRO DV3 -0x041e 0x4024 Creative PC-CAM 880 -0x0d64 0x0108 Aiptek Fidelity 3200 -0x0d64 0x0108 Praktica DCZ 1.3 S -0x0d64 0x0108 Genius Digital Camera (?) -0x0d64 0x0108 DXG Technology Fashion Cam -0x0546 0x3187 Polaroid iON 230 -0x0d64 0x3108 Praktica Exakta DC 2200 -0x0d64 0x3108 Genius G-Shot D211 -0x0595 0x4343 Concord Eye-Q Duo 1300 -0x0595 0x4343 Concord Eye-Q Duo 2000 -0x0595 0x4343 Fujifilm EX-10 -0x0595 0x4343 Ricoh RDC-6000 -0x0595 0x4343 Digitrex DSC 1300 -0x0595 0x4343 Firstline FDC 2000 -0x0bb0 0x500d Concord EyeQ Go Wireless -0x0feb 0x2004 CRS Electronic 3.3 Digital Camera -0x0feb 0x2004 Packard Bell DSC-300 -0x055f 0xb500 Mustek MDC 3000 -0x08ca 0x2062 Aiptek PocketDV 5700 -0x052b 0x1a18 Chiphead Megapix V12 -0x04c8 0x0729 Konica Revio 2 -0x04f2 0xa208 Creative PC-CAM 850 -0x0784 0x0040 Traveler Slimline X5 -0x06d6 0x0034 Trust Powerc@m 750 -0x0a17 0x0062 Pentax Optio 50L -0x06d6 0x003b Trust Powerc@m 970Z -0x0a17 0x004e Pentax Optio 50 -0x041e 0x405d Creative DiVi CAM 516 -0x08ca 0x2102 Aiptek DV T300 -0x06d6 0x003d Trust Powerc@m 910Z |
