1 Common bindings for video receiver and transmitter interfaces
6 Video data pipelines usually consist of external devices, e.g. camera sensors,
7 controlled over an I2C, SPI or UART bus, and SoC internal IP blocks, including
8 video DMA engines and video data processors.
10 SoC internal blocks are described by DT nodes, placed similarly to other SoC
11 blocks. External devices are represented as child nodes of their respective
12 bus controller nodes, e.g. I2C.
14 Data interfaces on all video devices are described by their child 'port' nodes.
15 Configuration of a port depends on other devices participating in the data
16 transfer and is described by 'endpoint' subnodes.
33 If a port can be configured to work with more than one remote device on the same
34 bus, an 'endpoint' child node must be provided for each of them. If more than
35 one port is present in a device node or there is more than one endpoint at a
36 port, or port node needs to be associated with a selected hardware interface,
37 a common scheme using '#address-cells', '#size-cells' and 'reg' properties is
40 All 'port' nodes can be grouped under optional 'ports' node, which allows to
41 specify #address-cells, #size-cells properties independently for the 'port'
42 and 'endpoint' nodes and any child device nodes a device might have.
44 Two 'endpoint' nodes are linked with each other through their 'remote-endpoint'
45 phandles. An endpoint subnode of a device contains all properties needed for
46 configuration of this device for data exchange with other device. In most
47 cases properties at the peer 'endpoint' nodes will be identical, however they
48 might need to be different when there is any signal modifications on the bus
49 between two devices, e.g. there are logic signal inverters on the lines.
51 It is allowed for multiple endpoints at a port to be active simultaneously,
52 where supported by a device. For example, in case where a data interface of
53 a device is partitioned into multiple data busses, e.g. 16-bit input port
54 divided into two separate ITU-R BT.656 8-bit busses. In such case bus-width
55 and data-shift properties can be used to assign physical data lines to each
56 endpoint node (logical bus).
58 Documenting bindings for devices
59 --------------------------------
61 All required and optional bindings the device supports shall be explicitly
62 documented in device DT binding documentation. This also includes port and
63 endpoint nodes for the device, including unit-addresses and reg properties where
66 Please also see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt .
71 If there is more than one 'port' or more than one 'endpoint' node or 'reg'
72 property is present in port and/or endpoint nodes the following properties
73 are required in a relevant parent node:
75 - #address-cells : number of cells required to define port/endpoint
76 identifier, should be 1.
77 - #size-cells : should be zero.
83 - flash-leds: An array of phandles, each referring to a flash LED, a sub-node
84 of the LED driver device node.
86 - lens-focus: A phandle to the node of the focus lens controller.
88 - rotation: The device, typically an image sensor, is not mounted upright,
89 but a number of degrees counter clockwise. Typical values are 0 and 180
93 Optional endpoint properties
94 ----------------------------
96 - remote-endpoint: phandle to an 'endpoint' subnode of a remote device node.
97 - slave-mode: a boolean property indicating that the link is run in slave mode.
98 The default when this property is not specified is master mode. In the slave
99 mode horizontal and vertical synchronization signals are provided to the
100 slave device (data source) by the master device (data sink). In the master
101 mode the data source device is also the source of the synchronization signals.
102 - bus-type: data bus type. Possible values are:
109 - bus-width: number of data lines actively used, valid for the parallel busses.
110 - data-shift: on the parallel data busses, if bus-width is used to specify the
111 number of data lines, data-shift can be used to specify which data lines are
112 used, e.g. "bus-width=<8>; data-shift=<2>;" means, that lines 9:2 are used.
113 - hsync-active: active state of the HSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively.
114 - vsync-active: active state of the VSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively.
115 Note, that if HSYNC and VSYNC polarities are not specified, embedded
116 synchronization may be required, where supported.
117 - data-active: similar to HSYNC and VSYNC, specifies data line polarity.
118 - data-enable-active: similar to HSYNC and VSYNC, specifies the data enable
120 - field-even-active: field signal level during the even field data transmission.
121 - pclk-sample: sample data on rising (1) or falling (0) edge of the pixel clock
123 - sync-on-green-active: active state of Sync-on-green (SoG) signal, 0/1 for
124 LOW/HIGH respectively.
125 - data-lanes: an array of physical data lane indexes. Position of an entry
126 determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates
127 physical lane, e.g. for 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have
128 "data-lanes = <1 2>;", assuming the clock lane is on hardware lane 0.
129 If the hardware does not support lane reordering, monotonically
130 incremented values shall be used from 0 or 1 onwards, depending on
131 whether or not there is also a clock lane. This property is valid for
132 serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2).
133 - clock-lanes: an array of physical clock lane indexes. Position of an entry
134 determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates
135 physical lane, e.g. for a MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have "clock-lanes = <0>;",
136 which places the clock lane on hardware lane 0. This property is valid for
137 serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2). Note that for the MIPI CSI-2 bus this
138 array contains only one entry.
139 - clock-noncontinuous: a boolean property to allow MIPI CSI-2 non-continuous
141 - link-frequencies: Allowed data bus frequencies. For MIPI CSI-2, for
142 instance, this is the actual frequency of the bus, not bits per clock per
143 lane value. An array of 64-bit unsigned integers.
144 - lane-polarities: an array of polarities of the lanes starting from the clock
145 lane and followed by the data lanes in the same order as in data-lanes.
146 Valid values are 0 (normal) and 1 (inverted). The length of the array
147 should be the combined length of data-lanes and clock-lanes properties.
148 If the lane-polarities property is omitted, the value must be interpreted
149 as 0 (normal). This property is valid for serial busses only.
150 - strobe: Whether the clock signal is used as clock (0) or strobe (1). Used
151 with CCP2, for instance.
156 The example snippet below describes two data pipelines. ov772x and imx074 are
157 camera sensors with a parallel and serial (MIPI CSI-2) video bus respectively.
158 Both sensors are on the I2C control bus corresponding to the i2c0 controller
159 node. ov772x sensor is linked directly to the ceu0 video host interface.
160 imx074 is linked to ceu0 through the MIPI CSI-2 receiver (csi2). ceu0 has a
161 (single) DMA engine writing captured data to memory. ceu0 node has a single
162 'port' node which may indicate that at any time only one of the following data
163 pipelines can be active: ov772x -> ceu0 or imx074 -> csi2 -> ceu0.
