SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0-only + +.. include:: <isonum.txt> + +MIPI CCS camera sensor driver +============================= + +The MIPI CCS camera sensor driver is a generic driver for `MIPI CCS +<https://www.mipi.org/specifications/camera-command-set>`_ compliant +camera sensors. It exposes three sub-devices representing the pixel array, +the binner and the scaler. + +As the capabilities of individual devices vary, the driver exposes +interfaces based on the capabilities that exist in hardware. + +Pixel Array sub-device +---------------------- + +The pixel array sub-device represents the camera sensor's pixel matrix, as well +as analogue crop functionality present in many compliant devices. The analogue +crop is configured using the ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` on the source pad (0) of the +entity. The size of the pixel matrix can be obtained by getting the +``V4L2_SEL_TGT_NATIVE_SIZE`` target. + +Binner +------ + +The binner sub-device represents the binning functionality on the sensor. For +that purpose, selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` is supported on the +sink pad (0). + +Additionally, if a device has no scaler or digital crop functionality, the +source pad (1) expses another digital crop selection rectangle that can only +crop at the end of the lines and frames. + +Scaler +------ + +The scaler sub-device represents the digital crop and scaling functionality of +the sensor. The V4L2 selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` is used to +configure the digital crop on the sink pad (0) when digital crop is supported. +Scaling is configured using selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` on the +sink pad (0) as well. + +Additionally, if the scaler sub-device exists, its source pad (1) exposes +another digital crop selection rectangle that can only crop at the end of the +lines and frames. + +Digital and analogue crop +------------------------- + +Digital crop functionality is referred to as cropping that effectively works by +dropping some data on the floor. Analogue crop, on the other hand, means that +the cropped information is never retrieved. In case of camera sensors, the +analogue data is never read from the pixel matrix that are outside the +configured selection rectangle that designates crop. The difference has an +effect in device timing and likely also in power consumption. + +Private controls +---------------- + +The MIPI CCS driver implements a number of private controls under +``V4L2_CID_USER_BASE_CCS`` to control the MIPI CCS compliant camera sensors. + +Analogue gain model +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The CCS defines an analogue gain model where the gain can be calculated using +the following formula: + + gain = m0 * x + c0 / (m1 * x + c1) + +Either m0 or c0 will be zero. The constants that are device specific, can be +obtained from the following controls: + + V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_GAIN_M0 + V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_GAIN_M1 + V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_GAIN_C0 + V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_GAIN_C1 + +The analogue gain (``x`` in the formula) is controlled through +``V4L2_CID_ANALOGUE_GAIN`` in this case. + +Alternate analogue gain model +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The CCS defines another analogue gain model called alternate analogue gain. In +this case, the formula to calculate actual gain consists of linear and +exponential parts: + + gain = linear * 2 ^ exponent + +The ``linear`` and ``exponent`` factors can be set using the +``V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_LINEAR_GAIN`` and +``V4L2_CID_CCS_ANALOGUE_EXPONENTIAL_GAIN`` controls, respectively + +Shading correction +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The CCS standard supports lens shading correction. The feature can be controlled +using ``V4L2_CID_CCS_SHADING_CORRECTION``. Additionally, the luminance +correction level may be changed using +``V4L2_CID_CCS_LUMINANCE_CORRECTION_LEVEL``, where value 0 indicates no +correction and 128 indicates correcting the luminance in corners to 10 % less +than in the centre. + +Shading correction needs to be enabled for luminance correction level to have an +effect. + +**Copyright** |copy| 2020 Intel Corporation diff --git a/Documentation/userspace-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-uapi.rst b/Documentation/userspace-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-uapi.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..debde65fb --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/userspace-api/media/drivers/cx2341x-uapi.rst @@ -0,0 +1,177 @@ +..

This format is in part dictated by some +hardware limitations of the ivtv driver (the driver for the Conexant cx23415/6 +chips), in particular a maximum size for the VBI data. Anything longer is cut +off when the MPEG stream is played back through the cx23415. + +The advantage of this format is it is very compact and that all VBI data for +all lines can be stored while still fitting within the maximum allowed size. + +The stream ID of the VBI data is 0xBD. The maximum size of the embedded data is +4 + 43 * 36, which is 4 bytes for a header and 2 * 18 VBI lines with a 1 byte +header and a 42 bytes payload each. Anything beyond this limit is cut off by +the cx23415/6 firmware. Besides the data for the VBI lines we also need 36 bits +for a bitmask determining which lines are captured and 4 bytes for a magic cookie, +signifying that this data package contains V4L2_MPEG_STREAM_VBI_FMT_IVTV VBI data. +If all lines are used, then there is no longer room for the bitmask. To solve this +two different magic numbers were introduced: + +'itv0': After this magic number two unsigned longs follow. Bits 0-17 of the first +unsigned long denote which lines of the first field are captured. Bits 18-31 of +the first unsigned long and bits 0-3 of the second unsigned long are used for the +second field. + +'ITV0': This magic number assumes all VBI lines are captured, i.e. it implicitly +implies that the bitmasks are 0xffffffff and 0xf. + +After these magic cookies (and the 8 byte bitmask in case of cookie 'itv0') the +captured VBI lines start: + +For each line the least significant 4 bits of the first byte contain the data type. +Possible values are shown in the table below.

When +this happens, the IPU triggers a mechanism to re-establish vertical +sync by adding 1 dummy line every frame, which causes a rolling effect +from image to image, and can last a long time before a stable image is +recovered. Or sometimes the mechanism doesn't work at all, causing a +permanent split image (one frame contains lines from two consecutive +captured images). + +From experiment it was found that during image rolling, the frame +intervals (elapsed time between two EOF's) drop below the nominal +value for the current standard, by about one frame time (60 usec), +and remain at that value until rolling stops. + +While the reason for this observation isn't known (the IPU dummy +line mechanism should show an increase in the intervals by 1 line +time every frame, not a fixed value), we can use it to detect the +corrupt fields using a frame interval monitor.

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

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. + + +References +---------- + +..

SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +The Linux USB Video Class (UVC) driver +====================================== + +This file documents some driver-specific aspects of the UVC driver, such as +driver-specific ioctls and implementation notes. + +Questions and remarks can be sent to the Linux UVC development mailing list at +linux-media@vger.kernel.org. + + +Extension Unit (XU) support +--------------------------- + +Introduction +~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The UVC specification allows for vendor-specific extensions through extension +units (XUs). The Linux UVC driver supports extension unit controls (XU controls) +through two separate mechanisms: + + - through mappings of XU controls to V4L2 controls + - through a driver-specific ioctl interface + +The first one allows generic V4L2 applications to use XU controls by mapping +certain XU controls onto V4L2 controls, which then show up during ordinary +control enumeration. + +The second mechanism requires uvcvideo-specific knowledge for the application to +access XU controls but exposes the entire UVC XU concept to user space for +maximum flexibility. + +Both mechanisms complement each other and are described in more detail below. + + +Control mappings +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The UVC driver provides an API for user space applications to define so-called +control mappings at runtime. These allow for individual XU controls or byte +ranges thereof to be mapped to new V4L2 controls. Such controls appear and +function exactly like normal V4L2 controls (i.e. the stock controls, such as +brightness, contrast, etc.). However, reading or writing of such a V4L2 controls +triggers a read or write of the associated XU control. + +The ioctl used to create these control mappings is called UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP. +Previous driver versions (before 0.2.0) required another ioctl to be used +beforehand (UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD) to pass XU control information to the UVC driver. +This is no longer necessary as newer uvcvideo versions query the information +directly from the device. + +For details on the UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP ioctl please refer to the section titled +"IOCTL reference" below. + + +3. Driver specific XU control interface + +For applications that need to access XU controls directly, e.g. for testing +purposes, firmware upload, or accessing binary controls, a second mechanism to +access XU controls is provided in the form of a driver-specific ioctl, namely +UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY. + +A call to this ioctl allows applications to send queries to the UVC driver that +directly map to the low-level UVC control requests. + +In order to make such a request the UVC unit ID of the control's extension unit +and the control selector need to be known. This information either needs to be +hardcoded in the application or queried using other ways such as by parsing the +UVC descriptor or, if available, using the media controller API to enumerate a +device's entities. + +Unless the control size is already known it is necessary to first make a +UVC_GET_LEN requests in order to be able to allocate a sufficiently large buffer +and set the buffer size to the correct value. Similarly, to find out whether +UVC_GET_CUR or UVC_SET_CUR are valid requests for a given control, a +UVC_GET_INFO request should be made. The bits 0 (GET supported) and 1 (SET +supported) of the resulting byte indicate which requests are valid. + +With the addition of the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl the UVCIOC_CTRL_GET and +UVCIOC_CTRL_SET ioctls have become obsolete since their functionality is a +subset of the former ioctl. For the time being they are still supported but +application developers are encouraged to use UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY instead. + +For details on the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl please refer to the section titled +"IOCTL reference" below. + + +Security +~~~~~~~~ + +The API doesn't currently provide a fine-grained access control facility. The +UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD and UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP ioctls require super user permissions. + +Suggestions on how to improve this are welcome. + + +Debugging +~~~~~~~~~ + +In order to debug problems related to XU controls or controls in general it is +recommended to enable the UVC_TRACE_CONTROL bit in the module parameter 'trace'. +This causes extra output to be written into the system log. + + +IOCTL reference +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP - Map a UVC control to a V4L2 control +^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ + +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.

These requests are: + + UVC_GET_CUR + Obtain the current value of the control. + UVC_GET_MIN + Obtain the minimum value of the control. + UVC_GET_MAX + Obtain the maximum value of the control. + UVC_GET_DEF + Obtain the default value of the control. + UVC_GET_RES + Query the resolution of the control, i.e. the step size of the + allowed control values. + UVC_GET_LEN + Query the size of the control in bytes. + UVC_GET_INFO + Query the control information bitmap, which indicates whether + get/set requests are supported. + UVC_SET_CUR + Update the value of the control. + + Applications must set the 'size' field to the correct length for the + control. Exceptions are the UVC_GET_LEN and UVC_GET_INFO queries, for + which the size must be set to 2 and 1, respectively. The 'data' field + must point to a valid writable buffer big enough to hold the indicated + number of data bytes. + + Data is copied directly from the device without any driver-side + processing. Applications are responsible for data buffer formatting, + including little-endian/big-endian conversion. This is particularly + important for the result of the UVC_GET_LEN requests, which is always + returned as a little-endian 16-bit integer by the device. + +**Return value**: + + On success 0 is returned.
