The original driver +exists for Davinci VPFE, which is now being changed to Media Controller +Framework. + +Currently the driver has been successfully used on the following +version of Davinci: + + DM365/DM368 + +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 Davinci VPFE is split into V4L2 subdevs, each of the blocks inside the VPFE +having one subdev to represent it. Each of the subdevs provide a V4L2 subdev +interface to userspace. + + DAVINCI ISIF + DAVINCI IPIPEIF + DAVINCI IPIPE + DAVINCI CROP RESIZER + DAVINCI RESIZER A + DAVINCI RESIZER B + +Each possible link in the VPFE is modeled by a link in the Media controller +interface. For an example program see [1]. + + +ISIF, IPIPE, and RESIZER block IOCTLs +====================================== + +The Davinci Video processing Front End (VPFE) driver supports standard V4L2 +IOCTLs and controls where possible and practical. Much of the functions provided +by the VPFE, however, does not fall under the standard IOCTL's. + +In general, there is a private ioctl for configuring each of the blocks +containing hardware-dependent functions. + +The following private IOCTLs are supported: + + VIDIOC_VPFE_ISIF_[S/G]_RAW_PARAMS + VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPE_[S/G]_CONFIG + VIDIOC_VPFE_RSZ_[S/G]_CONFIG + +The parameter structures used by these ioctl's are described in +include/uapi/linux/davinci_vpfe.h. + +The VIDIOC_VPFE_ISIF_S_RAW_PARAMS, VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPE_S_CONFIG and +VIDIOC_VPFE_RSZ_S_CONFIG are used to configure, enable and disable functions in +the isif, ipipe and resizer blocks respectively. These IOCTL's control several +functions in the blocks they control. VIDIOC_VPFE_ISIF_S_RAW_PARAMS IOCTL +accepts a pointer to struct vpfe_isif_raw_config as its argument. Similarly +VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPE_S_CONFIG accepts a pointer to struct vpfe_ipipe_config. And +VIDIOC_VPFE_RSZ_S_CONFIG accepts a pointer to struct vpfe_rsz_config as its +argument. Similarly VIDIOC_VPFE_ISIF_G_RAW_PARAMS, VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPE_G_CONFIG +and VIDIOC_VPFE_RSZ_G_CONFIG are used to get the current configuration set in +the isif, ipipe and resizer blocks respectively. + +The detailed functions of the VPFE itself related to a given VPFE block is +described in the Technical Reference Manuals (TRMs) --- see the end of the +document for those. + + +IPIPEIF block IOCTLs +====================================== + +The following private IOCTLs are supported: + + VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPEIF_[S/G]_CONFIG + +The parameter structures used by these ioctl's are described in +include/uapi/linux/dm365_ipipeif.h + +The VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPEIF_S_CONFIG is used to configure the ipipeif +hardware block. The VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPEIF_S_CONFIG and +VIDIOC_VPFE_IPIPEIF_G_CONFIG accepts a pointer to struct ipipeif_params +as its argument. + + +VPFE Operating Modes +========================================== + +a: Continuous Modes +------------------------ + +1: tvp514x/tvp7002/mt9p031---> DAVINCI ISIF---> SDRAM + +2: tvp514x/tvp7002/mt9p031---> DAVINCI ISIF---> DAVINCI IPIPEIF--->| + | + <--------------------<----------------<---------------------<---| + | + V + DAVINCI CROP RESIZER--->DAVINCI RESIZER [A/B]---> SDRAM + +3: tvp514x/tvp7002/mt9p031---> DAVINCI ISIF---> DAVINCI IPIPEIF--->| + | + <--------------------<----------------<---------------------<---| + | + V + DAVINCI IPIPE---> DAVINCI CROP RESIZER--->DAVINCI RESIZER [A/B]---> SDRAM + +a: Single Shot Modes +------------------------ + +1: SDRAM---> DAVINCI IPIPEIF---> DAVINCI IPIPE---> DAVINCI CROP RESIZER--->| + | + <----------------<----------------<------------------<---------------<--| + | + V +DAVINCI RESIZER [A/B]---> SDRAM + +2: SDRAM---> DAVINCI IPIPEIF---> DAVINCI CROP RESIZER--->| + | + <----------------<----------------<---------------<---| + | + V +DAVINCI RESIZER [A/B]---> SDRAM + + +Technical reference manuals (TRMs) and other documentation +========================================================== + +Davinci DM365 TRM: +<URL:http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/sprs457e/sprs457e.pdf> +Referenced MARCH 2009-REVISED JUNE 2011 + +Davinci DM368 TRM: +<URL:http://www.ti.com/lit/ds/sprs668c/sprs668c.pdf> +Referenced APRIL 2010-REVISED JUNE 2011 + +Davinci Video Processing Front End (VPFE) DM36x +<URL:http://www.ti.com/lit/ug/sprufg8c/sprufg8c.pdf> + + +References +========== + +[1] http://git.ideasonboard.org/?p=media-ctl.git;a=summary -- 1.7.4.1 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@...r.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
