The CIO2 driver is available as drivers/media/pci/intel/ipu3/ipu3-cio2* +and is enabled through the CONFIG_VIDEO_IPU3_CIO2 config option. + +The Imaging Unit (ImgU) is responsible for processing images captured +by the IPU3 CIO2 device. The ImgU driver sources can be found under +drivers/staging/media/ipu3 directory. The driver is enabled through the +CONFIG_VIDEO_IPU3_IMGU config option. + +The two driver modules are named ipu3_csi2 and ipu3_imgu, respectively. + +The drivers has been tested on Kaby Lake platforms (U/Y processor lines). + +Both of the drivers implement V4L2, Media Controller and V4L2 sub-device +interfaces. The IPU3 CIO2 driver supports camera sensors connected to the CIO2 +MIPI CSI-2 interfaces through V4L2 sub-device sensor drivers. + +CIO2 +==== + +The CIO2 is represented as a single V4L2 subdev, which provides a V4L2 subdev +interface to the user space. There is a video node for each CSI-2 receiver, +with a single media controller interface for the entire device. + +The CIO2 contains four independent capture channel, each with its own MIPI CSI-2 +receiver and DMA engine. Each channel is modelled as a V4L2 sub-device exposed +to userspace as a V4L2 sub-device node and has two pads: + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{0.8cm}|p{4.0cm}|p{4.0cm}| + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Pad + - Direction + - Purpose + + * - 0 + - sink + - MIPI CSI-2 input, connected to the sensor subdev + + * - 1 + - source + - Raw video capture, connected to the V4L2 video interface + +The V4L2 video interfaces model the DMA engines. They are exposed to userspace +as V4L2 video device nodes. + +Capturing frames in raw Bayer format +------------------------------------ + +CIO2 MIPI CSI2 receiver is used to capture frames (in packed raw Bayer format) +from the raw sensors connected to the CSI2 ports. The captured frames are used +as input to the ImgU driver. + +Image processing using IPU3 ImgU requires tools such as raw2pnm [#f1]_, and +yavta [#f2]_ due to the following unique requirements and / or features specific +to IPU3. + +-- The IPU3 CSI2 receiver outputs the captured frames from the sensor in packed +raw Bayer format that is specific to IPU3. + +-- Multiple video nodes have to be operated simultaneously. + +Let us take the example of ov5670 sensor connected to CSI2 port 0, for a +2592x1944 image capture. + +Using the media controller APIs, the ov5670 sensor is configured to send +frames in packed raw Bayer format to IPU3 CSI2 receiver. + +.. code-block:: none + + # This example assumes /dev/media0 as the CIO2 media device + export MDEV=/dev/media0 + + # and that ov5670 sensor is connected to i2c bus 10 with address 0x36 + export SDEV=$(media-ctl -d $MDEV -e "ov5670 10-0036") + + # Establish the link for the media devices using media-ctl [#f3]_ + media-ctl -d $MDEV -l "ov5670:0 -> ipu3-csi2 0:0[1]" + + # Set the format for the media devices + media-ctl -d $MDEV -V "ov5670:0 [fmt:SGRBG10/2592x1944]" + media-ctl -d $MDEV -V "ipu3-csi2 0:0 [fmt:SGRBG10/2592x1944]" + media-ctl -d $MDEV -V "ipu3-csi2 0:1 [fmt:SGRBG10/2592x1944]" + +Once the media pipeline is configured, desired sensor specific settings +(such as exposure and gain settings) can be set, using the yavta tool. + +e.g + +.. code-block:: none + + yavta -w 0x009e0903 444 $SDEV + yavta -w 0x009e0913 1024 $SDEV + yavta -w 0x009e0911 2046 $SDEV + +Once the desired sensor settings are set, frame captures can be done as below. + +e.g + +.. code-block:: none + + yavta --data-prefix -u -c10 -n5 -I -s2592x1944 --file=/tmp/frame-#.bin \ + -f IPU3_SGRBG10 $(media-ctl -d $MDEV -e "ipu3-cio2 0") + +With the above command, 10 frames are captured at 2592x1944 resolution, with +sGRBG10 format and output as IPU3_SGRBG10 format. + +The captured frames are available as /tmp/frame-#.bin files. + +ImgU +==== + +The ImgU is represented as two V4L2 subdevs, each of which provides a V4L2 +subdev interface to the user space. + +Each V4L2 subdev represents a pipe, which can support a maximum of 2 streams. +This helps to support advanced camera features like Continuous View Finder (CVF) +and Snapshot During Video(SDV). + +The ImgU contains two independent pipes, each modelled as a V4L2 sub-device +exposed to userspace as a V4L2 sub-device node. + +Each pipe has two sink pads and three source pads for the following purpose: + +.. tabularcolumns:: |p{0.8cm}|p{4.0cm}|p{4.0cm}| + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Pad + - Direction + - Purpose + + * - 0 + - sink + - Input raw video stream + + * - 1 + - sink + - Processing parameters + + * - 2 + - source + - Output processed video stream + + * - 3 + - source + - Output viewfinder video stream + + * - 4 + - source + - 3A statistics + +Each pad is connected to a corresponding V4L2 video interface, exposed to +userspace as a V4L2 video device node. + +Device operation +---------------- + +With ImgU, once the input video node ("ipu3-imgu 0/1":0, in +: format) is queued with buffer (in packed raw Bayer +format), ImgU starts processing the buffer and produces the video output in YUV +format and statistics output on respective output nodes. The driver is expected +to have buffers ready for all of parameter, output and statistics nodes, when +input video node is queued with buffer. + +At a minimum, all of input, main output, 3A statistics and viewfinder +video nodes should be enabled for IPU3 to start image processing. + +Each ImgU V4L2 subdev has the following set of video nodes. + +input, output and viewfinder video nodes +---------------------------------------- + +The frames (in packed raw Bayer format specific to the IPU3) received by the +input video node is processed by the IPU3 Imaging Unit and are output to 2 video +nodes, with each targeting a different purpose (main output and viewfinder +output). + +Details onand the Bayer format specific to the IPU3 can be found in +:ref:`v4l2-pix-fmt-ipu3-sbggr10`. + +The driver supports V4L2 Video Capture Interface as defined at :ref:`devices`. + +Only the multi-planar API is supported. More details can be found at +:ref:`planar-apis`. + +Parameters video node +--------------------- + +The parameters video node receives the ImgU algorithm parameters that are used +to configure how the ImgU algorithms process the image. + +Details on processing parameters specific to the IPU3 can be found in +:ref:`v4l2-meta-fmt-params`. + +3A statistics video node +------------------------ + +3A statistics video node is used by the ImgU driver to output the 3A (auto +focus, auto exposure and auto white balance) statistics for the frames that are +being processed by the ImgU to user space applications. User space applications +can use this statistics data to compute the desired algorithm parameters for +the ImgU. + +Configuring the Intel IPU3 +========================== + +The IPU3 ImgU pipelines can be configured using the Media Controller, defined at +:ref:`media_controller`. + +Running mode and firmware binary selection +------------------------------------------ + +ImgU works based on firmware, currently the ImgU firmware support run 2 pipes +in time-sharing with single input frame data. Each pipe can run at certain mode +- "VIDEO" or "STILL", "VIDEO" mode is commonly used for video frames capture, +and "STILL" is used for still frame capture. However, you can also select +"VIDEO" to capture still frames if you want to capture images with less system +load and power. For "STILL" mode, ImgU will try to use smaller BDS factor and +output larger bayer frame for further YUV processing than "VIDEO" mode to get +high quality images. Besides, "STILL" mode need XNR3 to do noise reduction, +hence "STILL" mode will need more power and memory bandwidth than "VIDEO" mode. +TNR will be enabled in "VIDEO" mode and bypassed by "STILL" mode. ImgU is +running at "VIDEO" mode by default, the user can use v4l2 control +V4L2_CID_INTEL_IPU3_MODE (currently defined in +drivers/staging/media/ipu3/include/uapi/intel-ipu3.h) to query and set the +running mode. For user, there is no difference for buffer queueing between the +"VIDEO" and "STILL" mode, mandatory input and main output node should be +enabled and buffers need be queued, the statistics and the view-finder queues +are optional. + +The firmware binary will be selected according to current running mode, such log +"using binary if_to_osys_striped " or "using binary if_to_osys_primary_striped" +could be observed if you enable the ImgU dynamic debug, the binary +if_to_osys_striped is selected for "VIDEO" and the binary +"if_to_osys_primary_striped" is selected for "STILL". + + +Processing the image in raw Bayer format +---------------------------------------- + +Configuring ImgU V4L2 subdev for image processing +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +The ImgU V4L2 subdevs have to be configured with media controller APIs to have +all the video nodes setup correctly. + +Let us take "ipu3-imgu 0" subdev as an example. + +.. code-block:: none + + media-ctl -d $MDEV -r + media-ctl -d $MDEV -l "ipu3-imgu 0 input":0 -> "ipu3-imgu 0":0[1] + media-ctl -d $MDEV -l "ipu3-imgu 0":2 -> "ipu3-imgu 0 output":0[1] + media-ctl -d $MDEV -l "ipu3-imgu 0":3 -> "ipu3-imgu 0 viewfinder":0[1] + media-ctl -d $MDEV -l "ipu3-imgu 0":4 -> "ipu3-imgu 0 3a stat":0[1] + +Also the pipe mode of the corresponding V4L2 subdev should be set as desired +(e.g 0 for video mode or 1 for still mode) through the control id 0x009819a1 as +below. + +.. code-block:: none + + yavta -w "0x009819A1 1" /dev/v4l-subdev7 + +Certain hardware blocks in ImgU pipeline can change the frame resolution by +cropping or scaling, these hardware blocks include Input Feeder(IF), Bayer Down +Scaler (BDS) and Geometric Distortion Correction (GDC). +There is also a block which can change the frame resolution - YUV Scaler, it is +only applicable to the secondary output. + +RAW Bayer frames go through these ImgU pipeline hardware blocks and the final +processed image output to the DDR memory. + +.. kernel-figure:: ipu3_rcb.svg + :alt: ipu3 resolution blocks image + + IPU3 resolution change hardware blocks + +**Input Feeder** + +Input Feeder gets the Bayer frame data from the sensor, it can enable cropping +of lines and columns from the frame and then store pixels into device's internal +pixel buffer which are ready to readout by following blocks. + +**Bayer Down Scaler** + +Bayer Down Scaler is capable of performing image scaling in Bayer domain, the +downscale factor can be configured from 1X to 1/4X in each axis with +configuration steps of 0.03125 (1/32). + +**Geometric Distortion Correction** + +Geometric Distortion Correction is used to perform correction of distortions +and image filtering. It needs some extra filter and envelope padding pixels to +work, so the input resolution of GDC should be larger than the output +resolution. + +**YUV Scaler** + +YUV Scaler which similar with BDS, but it is mainly do image down scaling in +YUV domain, it can support up to 1/12X down scaling, but it can not be applied +to the main output. + +The ImgU V4L2 subdev has to be configured with the supported resolutions in all +the above hardware blocks, for a given input resolution. +For a given supported resolution for an input frame, the Input Feeder, Bayer +Down Scaler and GDC blocks should be configured with the supported resolutions +as each hardware block has its own alignment requirement. + +You must configure the output resolution of the hardware blocks smartly to meet +the hardware requirement along with keeping the maximum field of view. The +intermediate resolutions can be generated by specific tool - + +https://github.com/intel/intel-ipu3-pipecfg + +This tool can be used to generate intermediate resolutions. More information can +be obtained by looking at the following IPU3 ImgU configuration table. + +https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/overlays/board-overlays/+/master + +Under baseboard-poppy/media-libs/cros-camera-hal-configs-poppy/files/gcss +directory, graph_settings_ov5670.xml can be used as an example. + +The following steps prepare the ImgU pipeline for the image processing. + +1. The ImgU V4L2 subdev data format should be set by using the +VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_FMT on pad 0, using the GDC width and height obtained above. + +2. The ImgU V4L2 subdev cropping should be set by using the +VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION on pad 0, with V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP as the target, +using the input feeder height and width. + +3. The ImgU V4L2 subdev composing should be set by using the +VIDIOC_SUBDEV_S_SELECTION on pad 0, with V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE as the target, +using the BDS height and width. + +For the ov5670 example, for an input frame with a resolution of 2592x1944 +(which is input to the ImgU subdev pad 0), the corresponding resolutions +for input feeder, BDS and GDC are 2592x1944, 2592x1944 and 2560x1920 +respectively. + +Once this is done, the received raw Bayer frames can be input to the ImgU +V4L2 subdev as below, using the open source application v4l2n [#f1]_. + +For an image captured with 2592x1944 [#f4]_ resolution, with desired output +resolution as 2560x1920 and viewfinder resolution as 2560x1920, the following +v4l2n command can be used.
