19 The OMAP 3 ISP driver does support the V4L2 event interface on CCDC and
20 statistics (AEWB, AF and histogram) subdevs.
22 The CCDC subdev produces V4L2_EVENT_FRAME_SYNC type event on HS_VS
23 interrupt which is used to signal frame start. Earlier version of this
24 driver used V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_HS_VS for this purpose. The event is
25 triggered exactly when the reception of the first line of the frame starts
26 in the CCDC module. The event can be subscribed on the CCDC subdev.
28 (When using parallel interface one must pay account to correct configuration
29 of the VS signal polarity. This is automatically correct when using the serial
32 Each of the statistics subdevs is able to produce events. An event is
33 generated whenever a statistics buffer can be dequeued by a user space
34 application using the VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ IOCTL. The events available
37 - V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_AEWB
38 - V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_AF
39 - V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_HIST
41 The type of the event data is struct omap3isp_stat_event_status for these
42 ioctls. If there is an error calculating the statistics, there will be an
43 event as usual, but no related statistics buffer. In this case
44 omap3isp_stat_event_status.buf_err is set to non-zero.
50 The OMAP 3 ISP driver supports standard V4L2 IOCTLs and controls where
51 possible and practical. Much of the functions provided by the ISP, however,
52 does not fall under the standard IOCTLs --- gamma tables and configuration of
53 statistics collection are examples of such.
55 In general, there is a private ioctl for configuring each of the blocks
56 containing hardware-dependent functions.
58 The following private IOCTLs are supported:
60 - VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG
61 - VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG
62 - VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AEWB_CFG
63 - VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_HIST_CFG
64 - VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AF_CFG
65 - VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ
66 - VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_EN
68 The parameter structures used by these ioctls are described in
69 include/linux/omap3isp.h. The detailed functions of the ISP itself related to
70 a given ISP block is described in the Technical Reference Manuals (TRMs) ---
71 see the end of the document for those.
73 While it is possible to use the ISP driver without any use of these private
74 IOCTLs it is not possible to obtain optimal image quality this way. The AEWB,
75 AF and histogram modules cannot be used without configuring them using the
76 appropriate private IOCTLs.
79 CCDC and preview block IOCTLs
80 -----------------------------
82 The VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG and VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG IOCTLs are used to
83 configure, enable and disable functions in the CCDC and preview blocks,
84 respectively. Both IOCTLs control several functions in the blocks they
85 control. VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG IOCTL accepts a pointer to struct
86 omap3isp_ccdc_update_config as its argument. Similarly VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG
87 accepts a pointer to struct omap3isp_prev_update_config. The definition of
88 both structures is available in [#]_.
90 The update field in the structures tells whether to update the configuration
91 for the specific function and the flag tells whether to enable or disable the
94 The update and flag bit masks accept the following values. Each separate
95 functions in the CCDC and preview blocks is associated with a flag (either
96 disable or enable; part of the flag field in the structure) and a pointer to
97 configuration data for the function.
99 Valid values for the update and flag fields are listed here for
100 VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG. Values may be or'ed to configure more than one
101 function in the same IOCTL call.
105 - OMAP3ISP_CCDC_BLCLAMP
106 - OMAP3ISP_CCDC_BCOMP
109 - OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CONFIG_LSC
110 - OMAP3ISP_CCDC_TBL_LSC
112 The corresponding values for the VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG are here:
114 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_LUMAENH
115 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_INVALAW
116 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_HRZ_MED
118 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_CHROMA_SUPP
120 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_BLKADJ
121 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_RGB2RGB
122 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_COLOR_CONV
123 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_YC_LIMIT
124 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_DEFECT_COR
125 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_GAMMABYPASS
126 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_DRK_FRM_CAPTURE
127 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_DRK_FRM_SUBTRACT
128 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_LENS_SHADING
130 - OMAP3ISP_PREV_GAMMA
132 The associated configuration pointer for the function may not be NULL when
133 enabling the function. When disabling a function the configuration pointer is
137 Statistic blocks IOCTLs
138 -----------------------
140 The statistics subdevs do offer more dynamic configuration options than the
141 other subdevs. They can be enabled, disable and reconfigured when the pipeline
142 is in streaming state.
144 The statistics blocks always get the input image data from the CCDC (as the
145 histogram memory read isn't implemented). The statistics are dequeueable by
146 the user from the statistics subdev nodes using private IOCTLs.
148 The private IOCTLs offered by the AEWB, AF and histogram subdevs are heavily
149 reflected by the register level interface offered by the ISP hardware. There
150 are aspects that are purely related to the driver implementation and these are
153 VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_EN
154 -----------------------
156 This private IOCTL enables/disables a statistic module. If this request is
157 done before streaming, it will take effect as soon as the pipeline starts to
158 stream. If the pipeline is already streaming, it will take effect as soon as
159 the CCDC becomes idle.
161 VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AEWB_CFG, VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_HIST_CFG and VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AF_CFG
162 -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
164 Those IOCTLs are used to configure the modules. They require user applications
165 to have an in-depth knowledge of the hardware. Most of the fields explanation
166 can be found on OMAP's TRMs. The two following fields common to all the above
167 configure private IOCTLs require explanation for better understanding as they
168 are not part of the TRM.
170 omap3isp_[h3a_af/h3a_aewb/hist]\_config.buf_size:
172 The modules handle their buffers internally. The necessary buffer size for the
173 module's data output depends on the requested configuration. Although the
174 driver supports reconfiguration while streaming, it does not support a
175 reconfiguration which requires bigger buffer size than what is already
176 internally allocated if the module is enabled. It will return -EBUSY on this
177 case. In order to avoid such condition, either disable/reconfigure/enable the
178 module or request the necessary buffer size during the first configuration
179 while the module is disabled.
181 The internal buffer size allocation considers the requested configuration's
182 minimum buffer size and the value set on buf_size field. If buf_size field is
183 out of [minimum, maximum] buffer size range, it's clamped to fit in there.
184 The driver then selects the biggest value. The corrected buf_size value is
185 written back to user application.
187 omap3isp_[h3a_af/h3a_aewb/hist]\_config.config_counter:
189 As the configuration doesn't take effect synchronously to the request, the
190 driver must provide a way to track this information to provide more accurate
191 data. After a configuration is requested, the config_counter returned to user
192 space application will be an unique value associated to that request. When
193 user application receives an event for buffer availability or when a new
194 buffer is requested, this config_counter is used to match a buffer data and a
197 VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ
198 ------------------------
200 Send to user space the oldest data available in the internal buffer queue and
201 discards such buffer afterwards. The field omap3isp_stat_data.frame_number
202 matches with the video buffer's field_count.
