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).
62 If there is more than one 'port' or more than one 'endpoint' node or 'reg'
63 property is present in port and/or endpoint nodes the following properties
64 are required in a relevant parent node:
66 - #address-cells : number of cells required to define port/endpoint
67 identifier, should be 1.
68 - #size-cells : should be zero.
70 Optional endpoint properties
71 ----------------------------
73 - remote-endpoint: phandle to an 'endpoint' subnode of a remote device node.
74 - slave-mode: a boolean property indicating that the link is run in slave mode.
75 The default when this property is not specified is master mode. In the slave
76 mode horizontal and vertical synchronization signals are provided to the
77 slave device (data source) by the master device (data sink). In the master
78 mode the data source device is also the source of the synchronization signals.
79 - bus-width: number of data lines actively used, valid for the parallel busses.
80 - data-shift: on the parallel data busses, if bus-width is used to specify the
81 number of data lines, data-shift can be used to specify which data lines are
82 used, e.g. "bus-width=<8>; data-shift=<2>;" means, that lines 9:2 are used.
83 - hsync-active: active state of the HSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively.
84 - vsync-active: active state of the VSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively.
85 Note, that if HSYNC and VSYNC polarities are not specified, embedded
86 synchronization may be required, where supported.
87 - data-active: similar to HSYNC and VSYNC, specifies data line polarity.
88 - field-even-active: field signal level during the even field data transmission.
89 - pclk-sample: sample data on rising (1) or falling (0) edge of the pixel clock
91 - sync-on-green-active: active state of Sync-on-green (SoG) signal, 0/1 for
92 LOW/HIGH respectively.
93 - data-lanes: an array of physical data lane indexes. Position of an entry
94 determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates
95 physical lane, e.g. for 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have
96 "data-lanes = <1 2>;", assuming the clock lane is on hardware lane 0.
97 This property is valid for serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2).
98 - clock-lanes: an array of physical clock lane indexes. Position of an entry
99 determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates
100 physical lane, e.g. for a MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have "clock-lanes = <0>;",
101 which places the clock lane on hardware lane 0. This property is valid for
102 serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2). Note that for the MIPI CSI-2 bus this
103 array contains only one entry.
104 - clock-noncontinuous: a boolean property to allow MIPI CSI-2 non-continuous
111 The example snippet below describes two data pipelines. ov772x and imx074 are
112 camera sensors with a parallel and serial (MIPI CSI-2) video bus respectively.
113 Both sensors are on the I2C control bus corresponding to the i2c0 controller
114 node. ov772x sensor is linked directly to the ceu0 video host interface.
115 imx074 is linked to ceu0 through the MIPI CSI-2 receiver (csi2). ceu0 has a
116 (single) DMA engine writing captured data to memory. ceu0 node has a single
117 'port' node which may indicate that at any time only one of the following data
118 pipelines can be active: ov772x -> ceu0 or imx074 -> csi2 -> ceu0.
