The original driver was +written by Texas Instruments but since that it has been rewritten (twice) at +Nokia. + +The driver has been successfully used on the following versions of OMAP 3: + +- 3430 +- 3530 +- 3630 + +The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and v4l2_subdev interfaces. +Sensor, lens and flash drivers using the v4l2_subdev interface in the kernel +are supported. + + +Split to subdevs +---------------- + +The OMAP 3 ISP is split into V4L2 subdevs, each of the blocks inside the ISP +having one subdev to represent it. 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 [#]_. + + +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. + +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 +---------- + +..
