Module loading -================= -To use the driver, it is necessary to load the "et61x251" module into memory -after every other module required: "videodev", "v4l2_common", "compat_ioctl32", -"usbcore" and, depending on the USB host controller you have, "ehci-hcd", -"uhci-hcd" or "ohci-hcd". - -Loading can be done as shown below: - - [root@localhost home]# modprobe et61x251 - -At this point the devices should be recognized. You can invoke "dmesg" to -analyze kernel messages and verify that the loading process has gone well: - - [user@localhost home]$ dmesg - - -7. Module parameters -==================== -Module parameters are listed below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: video_nr -Type: short array (min = 0, max = 64) -Syntax: <-1|n[,...]> -Description: Specify V4L2 minor mode number: - -1 = use next available - n = use minor number n - You can specify up to 64 cameras this way. - For example: - video_nr=-1,2,-1 would assign minor number 2 to the second - registered camera and use auto for the first one and for every - other camera. -Default: -1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: force_munmap -Type: bool array (min = 0, max = 64) -Syntax: <0|1[,...]> -Description: Force the application to unmap previously mapped buffer memory - before calling any VIDIOC_S_CROP or VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl's. Not - all the applications support this feature. This parameter is - specific for each detected camera. - 0 = do not force memory unmapping - 1 = force memory unmapping (save memory) -Default: 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: frame_timeout -Type: uint array (min = 0, max = 64) -Syntax: <n[,...]> -Description: Timeout for a video frame in seconds. This parameter is - specific for each detected camera. This parameter can be - changed at runtime thanks to the /sys filesystem interface. -Default: 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: debug -Type: ushort -Syntax: <n> -Description: Debugging information level, from 0 to 3: - 0 = none (use carefully) - 1 = critical errors - 2 = significant informations - 3 = more verbose messages - Level 3 is useful for testing only, when only one device - is used at the same time. It also shows some more informations - about the hardware being detected. This module parameter can be - changed at runtime thanks to the /sys filesystem interface. -Default: 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -8. Optional device control through "sysfs" -========================================== -If the kernel has been compiled with the CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG option enabled, -it is possible to read and write both the ET61X[12]51 and the image sensor -registers by using the "sysfs" filesystem interface. - -There are four files in the /sys/class/video4linux/videoX directory for each -registered camera: "reg", "val", "i2c_reg" and "i2c_val". The first two files -control the ET61X[12]51 bridge, while the other two control the sensor chip. -"reg" and "i2c_reg" hold the values of the current register index where the -following reading/writing operations are addressed at through "val" and -"i2c_val". Their use is not intended for end-users, unless you know what you -are doing. Remember that you must be logged in as root before writing to them. - -As an example, suppose we were to want to read the value contained in the -register number 1 of the sensor register table - which is usually the product -identifier - of the camera registered as "/dev/video0": - - [root@localhost #] cd /sys/class/video4linux/video0 - [root@localhost #] echo 1 > i2c_reg - [root@localhost #] cat i2c_val - -Note that if the sensor registers cannot be read, "cat" will fail. -To avoid race conditions, all the I/O accesses to the files are serialized. - - -9. Supported devices -==================== -None of the names of the companies as well as their products will be mentioned -here. They have never collaborated with the author, so no advertising. - -From the point of view of a driver, what unambiguously identify a device are -its vendor and product USB identifiers.

Notes for V4L2 application developers -========================================= -This driver follows the V4L2 API specifications. In particular, it enforces two -rules: - -- exactly one I/O method, either "mmap" or "read", is associated with each -file descriptor. Once it is selected, the application must close and reopen the -device to switch to the other I/O method; - -- although it is not mandatory, previously mapped buffer memory should always -be unmapped before calling any "VIDIOC_S_CROP" or "VIDIOC_S_FMT" ioctl's. -The same number of buffers as before will be allocated again to match the size -of the new video frames, so you have to map the buffers again before any I/O -attempts on them. - -Consistently with the hardware limits, this driver also supports image -downscaling with arbitrary scaling factors from 1 and 2 in both directions. -However, the V4L2 API specifications don't correctly define how the scaling -factor can be chosen arbitrarily by the "negotiation" of the "source" and -"target" rectangles. To work around this flaw, we have added the convention -that, during the negotiation, whenever the "VIDIOC_S_CROP" ioctl is issued, the -scaling factor is restored to 1. - -This driver supports two different video formats: the first one is the "8-bit -Sequential Bayer" format and can be used to obtain uncompressed video data -from the device through the current I/O method, while the second one provides -"raw" compressed video data (without frame headers not related to the -compressed data). The current compression quality may vary from 0 to 1 and can -be selected or queried thanks to the VIDIOC_S_JPEGCOMP and VIDIOC_G_JPEGCOMP -V4L2 ioctl's. - - -11.

This camera has three -interfaces, each with one endpoint (control, iso, iso). This -type of cameras is referred to as "model 1". These cameras are -no longer manufactured. - -Xirlink now manufactures new cameras which are somewhat different. -In particular, following models [FCC ID] belong to that category: - -XVP300 [KSX-X9903] -XVP600 [KSX-X9902] -XVP610 [KSX-X9902] - -(see http://www.xirlink.com/ibmpccamera/ for updates, they refer -to these new cameras by Windows driver dated 12-27-99, v3005 BETA) -These cameras have two interfaces, one endpoint in each (iso, bulk). -Such type of cameras is referred to as "model 2". They are supported -(with exception of 352x288 native mode). - -Some IBM NetCameras (Model 4) are made to generate only compressed -video streams. This is great for performance, but unfortunately -nobody knows how to decompress the stream :-( Therefore, these -cameras are *unsupported* and if you try to use one of those, all -you get is random colored horizontal streaks, not the image! -If you have one of those cameras, you probably should return it -to the store and get something that is supported. - -Tell me more about all that "model" business --------------------------------------------- - -I just invented model numbers to uniquely identify flavors of the -hardware/firmware that were sold. It was very confusing to use -brand names or some other internal numbering schemes. So I found -by experimentation that all Xirlink chipsets fall into four big -classes, and I called them "models". Each model is programmed in -its own way, and each model sends back the video in its own way. - -Quirks of Model 2 cameras: -------------------------- - -Model 2 does not have hardware contrast control. Corresponding V4L -control is implemented in software, which is not very nice to your -CPU, but at least it works. - -This driver provides 352x288 mode by switching the camera into -quasi-352x288 RGB mode (800 Kbits per frame) essentially limiting -this mode to 10 frames per second or less, in ideal conditions on -the bus (USB is shared, after all). The frame rate -has to be programmed very conservatively. Additional concern is that -frame rate depends on brightness setting; therefore the picture can -be good at one brightness and broken at another! I did not want to fix -the frame rate at slowest setting, but I had to move it pretty much down -the scale (so that framerate option barely matters). I also noticed that -camera after first powering up produces frames slightly faster than during -consecutive uses. All this means that if you use 352x288 (which is -default), be warned - you may encounter broken picture on first connect; -try to adjust brightness - brighter image is slower, so USB will be able -to send all data. However if you regularly use Model 2 cameras you may -prefer 176x144 which makes perfectly good I420, with no scaling and -lesser demands on USB (300 Kbits per second, or 26 frames per second). - -Another strange effect of 352x288 mode is the fine vertical grid visible -on some colored surfaces. I am sure it is caused by me not understanding -what the camera is trying to say. Blame trade secrets for that. - -The camera that I had also has a hardware quirk: if disconnected, -it needs few minutes to "relax" before it can be plugged in again -(poorly designed USB processor reset circuit?) - -[Veo Stingray with Product ID 0x800C is also Model 2, but I haven't -observed this particular flaw in it.] - -Model 2 camera can be programmed for very high sensitivity (even starlight -may be enough), this makes it convenient for tinkering with. The driver -code has enough comments to help a programmer to tweak the camera -as s/he feels necessary. - -WHAT YOU NEED: - -- A supported IBM PC (C-it) camera (model 1 or 2) - -- A Linux box with USB support (2.3/2.4; 2.2 w/backport may work) - -- A Video4Linux compatible frame grabber program such as xawtv. - -HOW TO COMPILE THE DRIVER: - -You need to compile the driver only if you are a developer -or if you want to make changes to the code. Most distributions -precompile all modules, so you can go directly to the next -section "HOW TO USE THE DRIVER". - -The ibmcam driver uses usbvideo helper library (module), -so if you are studying the ibmcam code you will be led there. - -The driver itself consists of only one file in usb/ directory: -ibmcam.c. This file is included into the Linux kernel build -process if you configure the kernel for CONFIG_USB_IBMCAM. -Run "make xconfig" and in USB section you will find the IBM -camera driver. Select it, save the configuration and recompile. - -HOW TO USE THE DRIVER: - -I recommend to compile driver as a module. This gives you an -easier access to its configuration. The camera has many more -settings than V4L can operate, so some settings are done using -module options. - -To begin with, on most modern Linux distributions the driver -will be automatically loaded whenever you plug the supported -camera in. Therefore, you don't need to do anything. However -if you want to experiment with some module parameters then -you can load and unload the driver manually, with camera -plugged in or unplugged. - -Typically module is installed with command 'modprobe', like this: - -# modprobe ibmcam framerate=1 - -Alternatively you can use 'insmod' in similar fashion: - -# insmod /lib/modules/2.x.y/usb/ibmcam.o framerate=1 - -Module can be inserted with camera connected or disconnected. - -The driver can have options, though some defaults are provided. - -Driver options: (* indicates that option is model-dependent) - -Name Type Range [default] Example --------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------ -debug Integer 0-9 [0] debug=1 -flags Integer 0-0xFF [0] flags=0x0d -framerate Integer 0-6 [2] framerate=1 -hue_correction Integer 0-255 [128] hue_correction=115 -init_brightness Integer 0-255 [128] init_brightness=100 -init_contrast Integer 0-255 [192] init_contrast=200 -init_color Integer 0-255 [128] init_color=130 -init_hue Integer 0-255 [128] init_hue=115 -lighting Integer 0-2* [1] lighting=2 -sharpness Integer 0-6* [4] sharpness=3 -size Integer 0-2* [2] size=1 - -Options for Model 2 only: - -Name Type Range [default] Example --------------- -------------- -------------- ------------------ -init_model2_rg Integer 0..255 [0x70] init_model2_rg=128 -init_model2_rg2 Integer 0..255 [0x2f] init_model2_rg2=50 -init_model2_sat Integer 0..255 [0x34] init_model2_sat=65 -init_model2_yb Integer 0..255 [0xa0] init_model2_yb=200 - -debug You don't need this option unless you are a developer. - If you are a developer then you will see in the code - what values do what. 0=off. - -flags This is a bit mask, and you can combine any number of - bits to produce what you want. Usually you don't want - any of extra features this option provides: - - FLAGS_RETRY_VIDIOCSYNC 1 This bit allows to retry failed - VIDIOCSYNC ioctls without failing. - Will work with xawtv, will not - with xrealproducer. Default is - not set. - FLAGS_MONOCHROME 2 Activates monochrome (b/w) mode. - FLAGS_DISPLAY_HINTS 4 Shows colored pixels which have - magic meaning to developers. - FLAGS_OVERLAY_STATS 8 Shows tiny numbers on screen, - useful only for debugging. - FLAGS_FORCE_TESTPATTERN 16 Shows blue screen with numbers. - FLAGS_SEPARATE_FRAMES 32 Shows each frame separately, as - it was received from the camera. - Default (not set) is to mix the - preceding frame in to compensate - for occasional loss of Isoc data - on high frame rates. - FLAGS_CLEAN_FRAMES 64 Forces "cleanup" of each frame - prior to use; relevant only if - FLAGS_SEPARATE_FRAMES is set. - Default is not to clean frames, - this is a little faster but may - produce flicker if frame rate is - too high and Isoc data gets lost. - FLAGS_NO_DECODING 128 This flag turns the video stream - decoder off, and dumps the raw - Isoc data from the camera into - the reading process. Useful to - developers, but not to users. - -framerate This setting controls frame rate of the camera. This is - an approximate setting (in terms of "worst" ... "best") - because camera changes frame rate depending on amount - of light available. Setting 0 is slowest, 6 is fastest. - Beware - fast settings are very demanding and may not - work well with all video sizes. Be conservative. - -hue_correction This highly optional setting allows to adjust the - hue of the image in a way slightly different from - what usual "hue" control does. Both controls affect - YUV colorspace: regular "hue" control adjusts only - U component, and this "hue_correction" option similarly - adjusts only V component. However usually it is enough - to tweak only U or V to compensate for colored light or - color temperature; this option simply allows more - complicated correction when and if it is necessary. - -init_brightness These settings specify _initial_ values which will be -init_contrast used to set up the camera. If your V4L application has -init_color its own controls to adjust the picture then these -init_hue controls will be used too. These options allow you to - preconfigure the camera when it gets connected, before - any V4L application connects to it. Good for webcams. - -init_model2_rg These initial settings alter color balance of the -init_model2_rg2 camera on hardware level. All four settings may be used -init_model2_sat to tune the camera to specific lighting conditions. These -init_model2_yb settings only apply to Model 2 cameras. - -lighting This option selects one of three hardware-defined - photosensitivity settings of the camera. 0=bright light, - 1=Medium (default), 2=Low light. This setting affects - frame rate: the dimmer the lighting the lower the frame - rate (because longer exposition time is needed). The - Model 2 cameras allow values more than 2 for this option, - thus enabling extremely high sensitivity at cost of frame - rate, color saturation and imaging sensor noise. - -sharpness This option controls smoothing (noise reduction) - made by camera. Setting 0 is most smooth, setting 6 - is most sharp. Be aware that CMOS sensor used in the - camera is pretty noisy, so if you choose 6 you will - be greeted with "snowy" image. Default is 4. Model 2 - cameras do not support this feature. - -size This setting chooses one of several image sizes that are - supported by this driver. Cameras may support more, but - it's difficult to reverse-engineer all formats. - Following video sizes are supported: - - size=0 128x96 (Model 1 only) - size=1 160x120 - size=2 176x144 - size=3 320x240 (Model 2 only) - size=4 352x240 (Model 2 only) - size=5 352x288 - size=6 640x480 (Model 3 only) - - The 352x288 is the native size of the Model 1 sensor - array, so it's the best resolution the camera can - yield. The best resolution of Model 2 is 176x144, and - larger images are produced by stretching the bitmap. - Model 3 has sensor with 640x480 grid, and it works too, - but the frame rate will be exceptionally low (1-2 FPS); - it may be still OK for some applications, like security. - Choose the image size you need. The smaller image can - support faster frame rate. Default is 352x288. - -For more information and the Troubleshooting FAQ visit this URL: - - http://www.linux-usb.org/ibmcam/ - -WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE: - -- The button on the camera is not used. I don't know how to get to it. - I know now how to read button on Model 2, but what to do with it? - -- Camera reports its status back to the driver; however I don't know - what returned data means. If camera fails at some initialization - stage then something should be done, and I don't do that because - I don't even know that some command failed.

Each of the subdevs provide a V4L2 subdev +interface to userspace. + + OMAP3 ISP CCP2 + OMAP3 ISP CSI2a + OMAP3 ISP CCDC + OMAP3 ISP preview + OMAP3 ISP resizer + OMAP3 ISP AEWB + OMAP3 ISP AF + OMAP3 ISP histogram + +Each possible link in the ISP is modelled by a link in the Media controller +interface. For an example program see [2]. + + +Controlling the OMAP 3 ISP +========================== + +In general, the settings given to the OMAP 3 ISP take effect at the beginning +of the following frame. This is done when the module becomes idle during the +vertical blanking period on the sensor. In memory-to-memory operation the pipe +is run one frame at a time. Applying the settings is done between the frames. + +All the blocks in the ISP, excluding the CSI-2 and possibly the CCP2 receiver, +insist on receiving complete frames. Sensors must thus never send the ISP +partial frames. + +Autoidle does have issues with some ISP blocks on the 3430, at least. +Autoidle is only enabled on 3630 when the omap3isp module parameter autoidle +is non-zero. + + +Events +====== + +The OMAP 3 ISP driver does support the V4L2 event interface on CCDC and +statistics (AEWB, AF and histogram) subdevs. + +The CCDC subdev produces V4L2_EVENT_FRAME_SYNC type event on HS_VS +interrupt which is used to signal frame start. Earlier version of this +driver used V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_HS_VS for this purpose. The event is +triggered exactly when the reception of the first line of the frame starts +in the CCDC module. The event can be subscribed on the CCDC subdev. + +(When using parallel interface one must pay account to correct configuration +of the VS signal polarity. This is automatically correct when using the serial +receivers.) + +Each of the statistics subdevs is able to produce events. An event is +generated whenever a statistics buffer can be dequeued by a user space +application using the VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ IOCTL. The events available +are: + + V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_AEWB + V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_AF + V4L2_EVENT_OMAP3ISP_HIST + +The type of the event data is struct omap3isp_stat_event_status for these +ioctls. If there is an error calculating the statistics, there will be an +event as usual, but no related statistics buffer. In this case +omap3isp_stat_event_status.buf_err is set to non-zero. + + +Private IOCTLs +============== + +The OMAP 3 ISP driver supports standard V4L2 IOCTLs and controls where +possible and practical. Much of the functions provided by the ISP, however, +does not fall under the standard IOCTLs --- gamma tables and configuration of +statistics collection are examples of such. + +In general, there is a private ioctl for configuring each of the blocks +containing hardware-dependent functions. + +The following private IOCTLs are supported: + + VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG + VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG + VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AEWB_CFG + VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_HIST_CFG + VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AF_CFG + VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ + VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_EN + +The parameter structures used by these ioctls are described in +include/linux/omap3isp.h. The detailed functions of the ISP itself related to +a given ISP block is described in the Technical Reference Manuals (TRMs) --- +see the end of the document for those. + +While it is possible to use the ISP driver without any use of these private +IOCTLs it is not possible to obtain optimal image quality this way. The AEWB, +AF and histogram modules cannot be used without configuring them using the +appropriate private IOCTLs. + + +CCDC and preview block IOCTLs +============================= + +The VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG and VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG IOCTLs are used to +configure, enable and disable functions in the CCDC and preview blocks, +respectively. Both IOCTLs control several functions in the blocks they +control. VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG IOCTL accepts a pointer to struct +omap3isp_ccdc_update_config as its argument. Similarly VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG +accepts a pointer to struct omap3isp_prev_update_config. The definition of +both structures is available in [1]. + +The update field in the structures tells whether to update the configuration +for the specific function and the flag tells whether to enable or disable the +function. + +The update and flag bit masks accept the following values. Each separate +functions in the CCDC and preview blocks is associated with a flag (either +disable or enable; part of the flag field in the structure) and a pointer to +configuration data for the function. + +Valid values for the update and flag fields are listed here for +VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CFG. Values may be or'ed to configure more than one +function in the same IOCTL call. + + OMAP3ISP_CCDC_ALAW + OMAP3ISP_CCDC_LPF + OMAP3ISP_CCDC_BLCLAMP + OMAP3ISP_CCDC_BCOMP + OMAP3ISP_CCDC_FPC + OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CULL + OMAP3ISP_CCDC_CONFIG_LSC + OMAP3ISP_CCDC_TBL_LSC + +The corresponding values for the VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_PRV_CFG are here: + + OMAP3ISP_PREV_LUMAENH + OMAP3ISP_PREV_INVALAW + OMAP3ISP_PREV_HRZ_MED + OMAP3ISP_PREV_CFA + OMAP3ISP_PREV_CHROMA_SUPP + OMAP3ISP_PREV_WB + OMAP3ISP_PREV_BLKADJ + OMAP3ISP_PREV_RGB2RGB + OMAP3ISP_PREV_COLOR_CONV + OMAP3ISP_PREV_YC_LIMIT + OMAP3ISP_PREV_DEFECT_COR + OMAP3ISP_PREV_GAMMABYPASS + OMAP3ISP_PREV_DRK_FRM_CAPTURE + OMAP3ISP_PREV_DRK_FRM_SUBTRACT + OMAP3ISP_PREV_LENS_SHADING + OMAP3ISP_PREV_NF + OMAP3ISP_PREV_GAMMA + +The associated configuration pointer for the function may not be NULL when +enabling the function. When disabling a function the configuration pointer is +ignored. + + +Statistic blocks IOCTLs +======================= + +The statistics subdevs do offer more dynamic configuration options than the +other subdevs. They can be enabled, disable and reconfigured when the pipeline +is in streaming state. + +The statistics blocks always get the input image data from the CCDC (as the +histogram memory read isn't implemented). The statistics are dequeueable by +the user from the statistics subdev nodes using private IOCTLs. + +The private IOCTLs offered by the AEWB, AF and histogram subdevs are heavily +reflected by the register level interface offered by the ISP hardware. There +are aspects that are purely related to the driver implementation and these are +discussed next. + +VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_EN +----------------------- + +This private IOCTL enables/disables a statistic module. If this request is +done before streaming, it will take effect as soon as the pipeline starts to +stream. If the pipeline is already streaming, it will take effect as soon as +the CCDC becomes idle. + +VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AEWB_CFG, VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_HIST_CFG and VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_AF_CFG +----------------------------------------------------------------------------- + +Those IOCTLs are used to configure the modules. They require user applications +to have an in-depth knowledge of the hardware. Most of the fields explanation +can be found on OMAP's TRMs. The two following fields common to all the above +configure private IOCTLs require explanation for better understanding as they +are not part of the TRM. + +omap3isp_[h3a_af/h3a_aewb/hist]_config.buf_size: + +The modules handle their buffers internally. The necessary buffer size for the +module's data output depends on the requested configuration. Although the +driver supports reconfiguration while streaming, it does not support a +reconfiguration which requires bigger buffer size than what is already +internally allocated if the module is enabled. It will return -EBUSY on this +case. In order to avoid such condition, either disable/reconfigure/enable the +module or request the necessary buffer size during the first configuration +while the module is disabled. + +The internal buffer size allocation considers the requested configuration's +minimum buffer size and the value set on buf_size field. If buf_size field is +out of [minimum, maximum] buffer size range, it's clamped to fit in there. +The driver then selects the biggest value. The corrected buf_size value is +written back to user application. + +omap3isp_[h3a_af/h3a_aewb/hist]_config.config_counter: + +As the configuration doesn't take effect synchronously to the request, the +driver must provide a way to track this information to provide more accurate +data. After a configuration is requested, the config_counter returned to user +space application will be an unique value associated to that request. When +user application receives an event for buffer availability or when a new +buffer is requested, this config_counter is used to match a buffer data and a +configuration. + +VIDIOC_OMAP3ISP_STAT_REQ +------------------------ + +Send to user space the oldest data available in the internal buffer queue and +discards such buffer afterwards. The field omap3isp_stat_data.frame_number +matches with the video buffer's field_count. + + +Technical reference manuals (TRMs) and other documentation +========================================================== + +OMAP 3430 TRM: +<URL:http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/OMAP34xx_ES3.1.x_PUBLIC_TRM_vZM.zip> +Referenced 2011-03-05. + +OMAP 35xx TRM: +<URL:http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/spruf98o> Referenced 2011-03-05. + +OMAP 3630 TRM: +<URL:http://focus.ti.com/pdfs/wtbu/OMAP36xx_ES1.x_PUBLIC_TRM_vQ.zip> +Referenced 2011-03-05. + +DM 3730 TRM: +<URL:http://www.ti.com/litv/pdf/sprugn4h> Referenced 2011-03-06. + + +References +========== + +[1] include/linux/omap3isp.h + +[2] http://git.ideasonboard.org/?p=media-ctl.git;a=summary diff --git a/Documentation/video4linux/omap4_camera.txt b/Documentation/video4linux/omap4_camera.txt new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..25d9b40a465 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/video4linux/omap4_camera.txt @@ -0,0 +1,60 @@ + OMAP4 ISS Driver + ================ + +Introduction +------------ + +The OMAP44XX family of chips contains the Imaging SubSystem (a.k.a.

The levels are cumulative, and are as follows: - 0=no debug messages - 1=init/detection/unload and other significant messages - 2=some warning messages - 3=config/control function calls - 4=most function calls and data parsing messages - 5=highly repetitive mesgs - - NAME: snapshot - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 - DESC: Set to 1 to enable snapshot mode. read()/VIDIOCSYNC will block until - the snapshot button is pressed. Note: enabling this mode disables - /proc/video/ov511/<minor#>/button - - NAME: cams - TYPE: integer (1-4 for OV511, 1-31 for OV511+) - DEFAULT: 1 - DESC: Number of cameras allowed to stream simultaneously on a single bus. - Values higher than 1 reduce the data rate of each camera, allowing two - or more to be used at once. If you have a complicated setup involving - both OV511 and OV511+ cameras, trial-and-error may be necessary for - finding the optimum setting. - - NAME: compress - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 - DESC: Set this to 1 to turn on the camera's compression engine. This can - potentially increase the frame rate at the expense of quality, if you - have a fast CPU. You must load the proper compression module for your - camera before starting your application (ov511_decomp or ov518_decomp). - - NAME: testpat - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 - DESC: This configures the camera's sensor to transmit a colored test-pattern - instead of an image. This does not work correctly yet. - - NAME: dumppix - TYPE: integer (0-2) - DEFAULT: 0 - DESC: Dumps raw pixel data and skips post-processing and format conversion. - It is for debugging purposes only. Options are: - 0: Disable (default) - 1: Dump raw data from camera, excluding headers and trailers - 2: Dumps data exactly as received from camera - - NAME: led - TYPE: integer (0-2) - DEFAULT: 1 (Always on) - DESC: Controls whether the LED (the little light) on the front of the camera - is always off (0), always on (1), or only on when driver is open (2). - This is not supported with the OV511, and might only work with certain - cameras (ones that actually have the LED wired to the control pin, and - not just hard-wired to be on all the time). - - NAME: dump_bridge - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 - DESC: Dumps the bridge (OV511[+] or OV518[+]) register values to the system - log. Only useful for serious debugging/development purposes. - - NAME: dump_sensor - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 - DESC: Dumps the sensor register values to the system log. Only useful for - serious debugging/development purposes. - - NAME: printph - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 - DESC: Setting this to 1 will dump the first 12 bytes of each isoc frame. This - is only useful if you are trying to debug problems with the isoc data - stream (i.e.: camera initializes, but vidcat hangs until Ctrl-C). Be - warned that this dumps a large number of messages to your kernel log. - - NAME: phy, phuv, pvy, pvuv, qhy, qhuv, qvy, qvuv - TYPE: integer (0-63 for phy and phuv, 0-255 for rest) - DEFAULT: OV511 default values - DESC: These are registers 70h - 77h of the OV511, which control the - prediction ranges and quantization thresholds of the compressor, for - the Y and UV channels in the horizontal and vertical directions. See - the OV511 or OV511+ data sheet for more detailed descriptions. These - normally do not need to be changed. - - NAME: lightfreq - TYPE: integer (0, 50, or 60) - DEFAULT: 0 (use sensor default) - DESC: Sets the sensor to match your lighting frequency. This can reduce the - appearance of "banding", i.e. horizontal lines or waves of light and - dark that are often caused by artificial lighting. Valid values are: - 0 - Use default (depends on sensor, most likely 60 Hz) - 50 - For European and Asian 50 Hz power - 60 - For American 60 Hz power - - NAME: bandingfilter - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 (off) - DESC: Enables the sensor´s banding filter exposure algorithm. This reduces - or stabilizes the "banding" caused by some artificial light sources - (especially fluorescent). You might have to set lightfreq correctly for - this to work right. As an added bonus, this sometimes makes it - possible to capture your monitor´s output. - - NAME: fastset - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 (off) - DESC: Allows picture settings (brightness, contrast, color, and hue) to take - effect immediately, even in the middle of a frame. This reduces the - time to change settings, but can ruin frames during the change. Only - affects OmniVision sensors. - - NAME: force_palette - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 (off) - DESC: Forces the palette (color format) to a specific value. If an - application requests a different palette, it will be rejected, thereby - forcing it to try others until it succeeds. This is useful for forcing - greyscale mode with a color camera, for example. Supported modes are: - 0 (Allows all the following formats) - 1 VIDEO_PALETTE_GREY (Linear greyscale) - 10 VIDEO_PALETTE_YUV420 (YUV 4:2:0 Planar) - 15 VIDEO_PALETTE_YUV420P (YUV 4:2:0 Planar, same as 10) - - NAME: backlight - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 (off) - DESC: Setting this flag changes the exposure algorithm for OmniVision sensors - such that objects in the camera's view (i.e. your head) can be clearly - seen when they are illuminated from behind. It reduces or eliminates - the sensor's auto-exposure function, so it should only be used when - needed. Additionally, it is only supported with the OV6620 and OV7620. - - NAME: unit_video - TYPE: Up to 16 comma-separated integers - DEFAULT: 0,0,0... (automatically assign the next available minor(s)) - DESC: You can specify up to 16 minor numbers to be assigned to ov511 devices. - For example, "unit_video=1,3" will make the driver use /dev/video1 and - /dev/video3 for the first two devices it detects. Additional devices - will be assigned automatically starting at the first available device - node (/dev/video0 in this case). Note that you cannot specify 0 as a - minor number. This feature requires kernel version 2.4.5 or higher. - - NAME: remove_zeros - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 (do not skip any incoming data) - DESC: Setting this to 1 will remove zero-padding from incoming data. This - will compensate for the blocks of corruption that can appear when the - camera cannot keep up with the speed of the USB bus (eg. at low frame - resolutions). This feature is always enabled when compression is on. - - NAME: mirror - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 (off) - DESC: Setting this to 1 will reverse ("mirror") the image horizontally. This - might be necessary if your camera has a custom lens assembly. This has - no effect with video capture devices. - - NAME: ov518_color - TYPE: integer (Boolean) - DEFAULT: 0 (off) - DESC: Enable OV518 color support. This is off by default since it doesn't - work most of the time. If you want to try it, you must also load - ov518_decomp with the "nouv=0" parameter. If you get improper colors or - diagonal lines through the image, restart your video app and try again. - Repeat as necessary. - -WORKING FEATURES: - o Color streaming/capture at most widths and heights that are multiples of 8. - o Monochrome (use force_palette=1 to enable) - o Setting/getting of saturation, contrast, brightness, and hue (only some of - them work the OV7620 and OV7620AE) - o /proc status reporting - o SAA7111A video capture support at 320x240 and 640x480 - o Compression support - o SMP compatibility - -HOW TO CONTACT ME: - -You can email me at mark@alpha.dyndns.org .

Overview and features -======================== -This driver attempts to support the video interface of the devices assembling -the SONiX SN9C101, SN9C102, SN9C103, SN9C105 and SN9C120 PC Camera Controllers -("SN9C1xx" from now on). - -The driver relies on the Video4Linux2 and USB core modules. It has been -designed to run properly on SMP systems as well. - -The latest version of the SN9C1xx driver can be found at the following URL: -http://www.linux-projects.org/ - -Some of the features of the driver are: - -- full compliance with the Video4Linux2 API (see also "Notes for V4L2 - application developers" paragraph); -- available mmap or read/poll methods for video streaming through isochronous - data transfers; -- automatic detection of image sensor; -- support for built-in microphone interface; -- support for any window resolutions and optional panning within the maximum - pixel area of image sensor; -- image downscaling with arbitrary scaling factors from 1, 2 and 4 in both - directions (see "Notes for V4L2 application developers" paragraph); -- two different video formats for uncompressed or compressed data in low or - high compression quality (see also "Notes for V4L2 application developers" - and "Video frame formats" paragraphs); -- full support for the capabilities of many of the possible image sensors that - can be connected to the SN9C1xx bridges, including, for instance, red, green, - blue and global gain adjustments and exposure (see "Supported devices" - paragraph for details); -- use of default color settings for sunlight conditions; -- dynamic I/O interface for both SN9C1xx and image sensor control and - monitoring (see "Optional device control through 'sysfs'" paragraph); -- dynamic driver control thanks to various module parameters (see "Module - parameters" paragraph); -- up to 64 cameras can be handled at the same time; they can be connected and - disconnected from the host many times without turning off the computer, if - the system supports hotplugging; -- no known bugs. - - -5. Module dependencies -====================== -For it to work properly, the driver needs kernel support for Video4Linux and -USB. - -The following options of the kernel configuration file must be enabled and -corresponding modules must be compiled: - - # Multimedia devices - # - CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m - -To enable advanced debugging functionality on the device through /sysfs: - - # Multimedia devices - # - CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG=y - - # USB support - # - CONFIG_USB=m - -In addition, depending on the hardware being used, the modules below are -necessary: - - # USB Host Controller Drivers - # - CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m - CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m - CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m - -The SN9C103, SN9c105 and SN9C120 controllers also provide a built-in microphone -interface. It is supported by the USB Audio driver thanks to the ALSA API: - - # Sound - # - CONFIG_SOUND=y - - # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - # - CONFIG_SND=m - - # USB devices - # - CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m - -And finally: - - # USB Multimedia devices - # - CONFIG_USB_SN9C102=m - - -6. Module loading -================= -To use the driver, it is necessary to load the "sn9c102" module into memory -after every other module required: "videodev", "v4l2_common", "compat_ioctl32", -"usbcore" and, depending on the USB host controller you have, "ehci-hcd", -"uhci-hcd" or "ohci-hcd". - -Loading can be done as shown below: - - [root@localhost home]# modprobe sn9c102 - -Note that the module is called "sn9c102" for historic reasons, although it -does not just support the SN9C102. - -At this point all the devices supported by the driver and connected to the USB -ports should be recognized. You can invoke "dmesg" to analyze kernel messages -and verify that the loading process has gone well: - - [user@localhost home]$ dmesg - -or, to isolate all the kernel messages generated by the driver: - - [user@localhost home]$ dmesg | grep sn9c102 - - -7. Module parameters -==================== -Module parameters are listed below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: video_nr -Type: short array (min = 0, max = 64) -Syntax: <-1|n[,...]> -Description: Specify V4L2 minor mode number: - -1 = use next available - n = use minor number n - You can specify up to 64 cameras this way. - For example: - video_nr=-1,2,-1 would assign minor number 2 to the second - recognized camera and use auto for the first one and for every - other camera. -Default: -1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: force_munmap -Type: bool array (min = 0, max = 64) -Syntax: <0|1[,...]> -Description: Force the application to unmap previously mapped buffer memory - before calling any VIDIOC_S_CROP or VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl's. Not - all the applications support this feature. This parameter is - specific for each detected camera. - 0 = do not force memory unmapping - 1 = force memory unmapping (save memory) -Default: 0 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: frame_timeout -Type: uint array (min = 0, max = 64) -Syntax: <0|n[,...]> -Description: Timeout for a video frame in seconds before returning an I/O - error; 0 for infinity. This parameter is specific for each - detected camera and can be changed at runtime thanks to the - /sys filesystem interface. -Default: 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: debug -Type: ushort -Syntax: <n> -Description: Debugging information level, from 0 to 3: - 0 = none (use carefully) - 1 = critical errors - 2 = significant informations - 3 = more verbose messages - Level 3 is useful for testing only. It also shows some more - informations about the hardware being detected. - This parameter can be changed at runtime thanks to the /sys - filesystem interface. -Default: 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -8. Optional device control through "sysfs" [1] -========================================== -If the kernel has been compiled with the CONFIG_VIDEO_ADV_DEBUG option enabled, -it is possible to read and write both the SN9C1xx and the image sensor -registers by using the "sysfs" filesystem interface. - -Every time a supported device is recognized, a write-only file named "green" is -created in the /sys/class/video4linux/videoX directory. You can set the green -channel's gain by writing the desired value to it. The value may range from 0 -to 15 for the SN9C101 or SN9C102 bridges, from 0 to 127 for the SN9C103, -SN9C105 and SN9C120 bridges. -Similarly, only for the SN9C103, SN9C105 and SN9C120 controllers, blue and red -gain control files are available in the same directory, for which accepted -values may range from 0 to 127. - -There are other four entries in the directory above for each registered camera: -"reg", "val", "i2c_reg" and "i2c_val". The first two files control the -SN9C1xx bridge, while the other two control the sensor chip. "reg" and -"i2c_reg" hold the values of the current register index where the following -reading/writing operations are addressed at through "val" and "i2c_val". Their -use is not intended for end-users. Note that "i2c_reg" and "i2c_val" will not -be created if the sensor does not actually support the standard I2C protocol or -its registers are not 8-bit long. Also, remember that you must be logged in as -root before writing to them. - -As an example, suppose we were to want to read the value contained in the -register number 1 of the sensor register table - which is usually the product -identifier - of the camera registered as "/dev/video0": - - [root@localhost #] cd /sys/class/video4linux/video0 - [root@localhost #] echo 1 > i2c_reg - [root@localhost #] cat i2c_val - -Note that "cat" will fail if sensor registers cannot be read. - -Now let's set the green gain's register of the SN9C101 or SN9C102 chips to 2: - - [root@localhost #] echo 0x11 > reg - [root@localhost #] echo 2 > val - -Note that the SN9C1xx always returns 0 when some of its registers are read. -To avoid race conditions, all the I/O accesses to the above files are -serialized. -The sysfs interface also provides the "frame_header" entry, which exports the -frame header of the most recent requested and captured video frame. The header -is always 18-bytes long and is appended to every video frame by the SN9C1xx -controllers. As an example, this additional information can be used by the user -application for implementing auto-exposure features via software. - -The following table describes the frame header exported by the SN9C101 and -SN9C102: - -Byte # Value or bits Description ------- ------------- ----------- -0x00 0xFF Frame synchronisation pattern -0x01 0xFF Frame synchronisation pattern -0x02 0x00 Frame synchronisation pattern -0x03 0xC4 Frame synchronisation pattern -0x04 0xC4 Frame synchronisation pattern -0x05 0x96 Frame synchronisation pattern -0x06 [3:0] Read channel gain control = (1+R_GAIN/8) - [7:4] Blue channel gain control = (1+B_GAIN/8) -0x07 [ 0 ] Compression mode. 0=No compression, 1=Compression enabled - [2:1] Maximum scale factor for compression - [ 3 ] 1 = USB fifo(2K bytes) is full - [ 4 ] 1 = Digital gain is finish - [ 5 ] 1 = Exposure is finish - [7:6] Frame index -0x08 [7:0] Y sum inside Auto-Exposure area (low-byte) -0x09 [7:0] Y sum inside Auto-Exposure area (high-byte) - where Y sum = (R/4 + 5G/16 + B/8) / 32 -0x0A [7:0] Y sum outside Auto-Exposure area (low-byte) -0x0B [7:0] Y sum outside Auto-Exposure area (high-byte) - where Y sum = (R/4 + 5G/16 + B/8) / 128 -0x0C 0xXX Not used -0x0D 0xXX Not used -0x0E 0xXX Not used -0x0F 0xXX Not used -0x10 0xXX Not used -0x11 0xXX Not used - -The following table describes the frame header exported by the SN9C103: - -Byte # Value or bits Description ------- ------------- ----------- -0x00 0xFF Frame synchronisation pattern -0x01 0xFF Frame synchronisation pattern -0x02 0x00 Frame synchronisation pattern -0x03 0xC4 Frame synchronisation pattern -0x04 0xC4 Frame synchronisation pattern -0x05 0x96 Frame synchronisation pattern -0x06 [6:0] Read channel gain control = (1/2+R_GAIN/64) -0x07 [6:0] Blue channel gain control = (1/2+B_GAIN/64) - [7:4] -0x08 [ 0 ] Compression mode. 0=No compression, 1=Compression enabled - [2:1] Maximum scale factor for compression - [ 3 ] 1 = USB fifo(2K bytes) is full - [ 4 ] 1 = Digital gain is finish - [ 5 ] 1 = Exposure is finish - [7:6] Frame index -0x09 [7:0] Y sum inside Auto-Exposure area (low-byte) -0x0A [7:0] Y sum inside Auto-Exposure area (high-byte) - where Y sum = (R/4 + 5G/16 + B/8) / 32 -0x0B [7:0] Y sum outside Auto-Exposure area (low-byte) -0x0C [7:0] Y sum outside Auto-Exposure area (high-byte) - where Y sum = (R/4 + 5G/16 + B/8) / 128 -0x0D [1:0] Audio frame number - [ 2 ] 1 = Audio is recording -0x0E [7:0] Audio summation (low-byte) -0x0F [7:0] Audio summation (high-byte) -0x10 [7:0] Audio sample count -0x11 [7:0] Audio peak data in audio frame - -The AE area (sx, sy, ex, ey) in the active window can be set by programming the -registers 0x1c, 0x1d, 0x1e and 0x1f of the SN9C1xx controllers, where one unit -corresponds to 32 pixels. - -[1] The frame headers exported by the SN9C105 and SN9C120 are not described. - - -9.

Notes for V4L2 application developers -========================================= -This driver follows the V4L2 API specifications. In particular, it enforces two -rules: - -- exactly one I/O method, either "mmap" or "read", is associated with each -file descriptor. Once it is selected, the application must close and reopen the -device to switch to the other I/O method; - -- although it is not mandatory, previously mapped buffer memory should always -be unmapped before calling any "VIDIOC_S_CROP" or "VIDIOC_S_FMT" ioctl's. -The same number of buffers as before will be allocated again to match the size -of the new video frames, so you have to map the buffers again before any I/O -attempts on them. - -Consistently with the hardware limits, this driver also supports image -downscaling with arbitrary scaling factors from 1, 2 and 4 in both directions. -However, the V4L2 API specifications don't correctly define how the scaling -factor can be chosen arbitrarily by the "negotiation" of the "source" and -"target" rectangles. To work around this flaw, we have added the convention -that, during the negotiation, whenever the "VIDIOC_S_CROP" ioctl is issued, the -scaling factor is restored to 1. - -This driver supports two different video formats: the first one is the "8-bit -Sequential Bayer" format and can be used to obtain uncompressed video data -from the device through the current I/O method, while the second one provides -either "raw" compressed video data (without frame headers not related to the -compressed data) or standard JPEG (with frame headers). The compression quality -may vary from 0 to 1 and can be selected or queried thanks to the -VIDIOC_S_JPEGCOMP and VIDIOC_G_JPEGCOMP V4L2 ioctl's. For maximum flexibility, -both the default active video format and the default compression quality -depend on how the image sensor being used is initialized. - - -11. Video frame formats [1] -======================= -The SN9C1xx PC Camera Controllers can send images in two possible video -formats over the USB: either native "Sequential RGB Bayer" or compressed. -The compression is used to achieve high frame rates. With regard to the -SN9C101, SN9C102 and SN9C103, the compression is based on the Huffman encoding -algorithm described below, while with regard to the SN9C105 and SN9C120 the -compression is based on the JPEG standard. -The current video format may be selected or queried from the user application -by calling the VIDIOC_S_FMT or VIDIOC_G_FMT ioctl's, as described in the V4L2 -API specifications. - -The name "Sequential Bayer" indicates the organization of the red, green and -blue pixels in one video frame. Each pixel is associated with a 8-bit long -value and is disposed in memory according to the pattern shown below: - -B[0] G[1] B[2] G[3] ... B[m-2] G[m-1] -G[m] R[m+1] G[m+2] R[m+2] ... G[2m-2] R[2m-1] -... -... B[(n-1)(m-2)] G[(n-1)(m-1)] -... G[n(m-2)] R[n(m-1)] - -The above matrix also represents the sequential or progressive read-out mode of -the (n, m) Bayer color filter array used in many CCD or CMOS image sensors. - -The Huffman compressed video frame consists of a bitstream that encodes for -every R, G, or B pixel the difference between the value of the pixel itself and -some reference pixel value. Pixels are organised in the Bayer pattern and the -Bayer sub-pixels are tracked individually and alternatingly. For example, in -the first line values for the B and G1 pixels are alternatingly encoded, while -in the second line values for the G2 and R pixels are alternatingly encoded. - -The pixel reference value is calculated as follows: -- the 4 top left pixels are encoded in raw uncompressed 8-bit format; -- the value in the top two rows is the value of the pixel left of the current - pixel; -- the value in the left column is the value of the pixel above the current - pixel; -- for all other pixels, the reference value is the average of the value of the - pixel on the left and the value of the pixel above the current pixel; -- there is one code in the bitstream that specifies the value of a pixel - directly (in 4-bit resolution); -- pixel values need to be clamped inside the range [0..255] for proper - decoding. - -The algorithm purely describes the conversion from compressed Bayer code used -in the SN9C101, SN9C102 and SN9C103 chips to uncompressed Bayer. Additional -steps are required to convert this to a color image (i.e. a color interpolation -algorithm). - -The following Huffman codes have been found: -0: +0 (relative to reference pixel value) -100: +4 -101: -4? -1110xxxx: set absolute value to xxxx.0000 -1101: +11 -1111: -11 -11001: +20 -110000: -20 -110001: ??? - these codes are apparently not used - -[1] The Huffman compression algorithm has been reverse-engineered and - documented by Bertrik Sikken. - - -12.

Introduction + +The UVC specification allows for vendor-specific extensions through extension +units (XUs). The Linux UVC driver supports extension unit controls (XU controls) +through two separate mechanisms: + + - through mappings of XU controls to V4L2 controls + - through a driver-specific ioctl interface + +The first one allows generic V4L2 applications to use XU controls by mapping +certain XU controls onto V4L2 controls, which then show up during ordinary +control enumeration. + +The second mechanism requires uvcvideo-specific knowledge for the application to +access XU controls but exposes the entire UVC XU concept to user space for +maximum flexibility. + +Both mechanisms complement each other and are described in more detail below. + + +2. Control mappings + +The UVC driver provides an API for user space applications to define so-called +control mappings at runtime. These allow for individual XU controls or byte +ranges thereof to be mapped to new V4L2 controls. Such controls appear and +function exactly like normal V4L2 controls (i.e. the stock controls, such as +brightness, contrast, etc.). However, reading or writing of such a V4L2 controls +triggers a read or write of the associated XU control. + +The ioctl used to create these control mappings is called UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP. +Previous driver versions (before 0.2.0) required another ioctl to be used +beforehand (UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD) to pass XU control information to the UVC driver. +This is no longer necessary as newer uvcvideo versions query the information +directly from the device. + +For details on the UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP ioctl please refer to the section titled +"IOCTL reference" below. + + +3. Driver specific XU control interface + +For applications that need to access XU controls directly, e.g. for testing +purposes, firmware upload, or accessing binary controls, a second mechanism to +access XU controls is provided in the form of a driver-specific ioctl, namely +UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY. + +A call to this ioctl allows applications to send queries to the UVC driver that +directly map to the low-level UVC control requests. + +In order to make such a request the UVC unit ID of the control's extension unit +and the control selector need to be known. This information either needs to be +hardcoded in the application or queried using other ways such as by parsing the +UVC descriptor or, if available, using the media controller API to enumerate a +device's entities. + +Unless the control size is already known it is necessary to first make a +UVC_GET_LEN requests in order to be able to allocate a sufficiently large buffer +and set the buffer size to the correct value. Similarly, to find out whether +UVC_GET_CUR or UVC_SET_CUR are valid requests for a given control, a +UVC_GET_INFO request should be made. The bits 0 (GET supported) and 1 (SET +supported) of the resulting byte indicate which requests are valid. + +With the addition of the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl the UVCIOC_CTRL_GET and +UVCIOC_CTRL_SET ioctls have become obsolete since their functionality is a +subset of the former ioctl. For the time being they are still supported but +application developers are encouraged to use UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY instead. + +For details on the UVCIOC_CTRL_QUERY ioctl please refer to the section titled +"IOCTL reference" below. + + +4. Security + +The API doesn't currently provide a fine-grained access control facility. The +UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD and UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP ioctls require super user permissions. + +Suggestions on how to improve this are welcome. + + +5. Debugging + +In order to debug problems related to XU controls or controls in general it is +recommended to enable the UVC_TRACE_CONTROL bit in the module parameter 'trace'. +This causes extra output to be written into the system log. + + +6. IOCTL reference + +---- UVCIOC_CTRL_MAP - Map a UVC control to a V4L2 control ---- + +Argument: struct uvc_xu_control_mapping + +Description: + This ioctl creates a mapping between a UVC control or part of a UVC + control and a V4L2 control. Once mappings are defined, userspace + applications can access vendor-defined UVC control through the V4L2 + control API. + + To create a mapping, applications fill the uvc_xu_control_mapping + structure with information about an existing UVC control defined with + UVCIOC_CTRL_ADD and a new V4L2 control. + + A UVC control can be mapped to several V4L2 controls. For instance, + a UVC pan/tilt control could be mapped to separate pan and tilt V4L2 + controls. The UVC control is divided into non overlapping fields using + the 'size' and 'offset' fields and are then independently mapped to + V4L2 control. + + For signed integer V4L2 controls the data_type field should be set to + UVC_CTRL_DATA_TYPE_SIGNED.

An example on how the V4L2 events may be used can be found in the OMAP -3 ISP driver available at <URL:http://gitorious.org/omap3camera> as of -writing this. +3 ISP driver (drivers/media/platform/omap3isp). + + +V4L2 clocks +----------- + +Many subdevices, like camera sensors, TV decoders and encoders, need a clock +signal to be supplied by the system. Often this clock is supplied by the +respective bridge device. The Linux kernel provides a Common Clock Framework for +this purpose. However, it is not (yet) available on all architectures. Besides, +the nature of the multi-functional (clock, data + synchronisation, I2C control) +connection of subdevices to the system might impose special requirements on the +clock API usage. E.g. V4L2 has to support clock provider driver unregistration +while a subdevice driver is holding a reference to the clock. For these reasons +a V4L2 clock helper API has been developed and is provided to bridge and +subdevice drivers. + +The API consists of two parts: two functions to register and unregister a V4L2 +clock source: v4l2_clk_register() and v4l2_clk_unregister() and calls to control +a clock object, similar to the respective generic clock API calls: +v4l2_clk_get(), v4l2_clk_put(), v4l2_clk_enable(), v4l2_clk_disable(), +v4l2_clk_get_rate(), and v4l2_clk_set_rate(). Clock suppliers have to provide +clock operations that will be called when clock users invoke respective API +methods. + +It is expected that once the CCF becomes available on all relevant +architectures this API will be removed. diff --git a/Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.c b/Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.c new file mode 100644 index 00000000000..46904fe4960 --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/video4linux/v4l2-pci-skeleton.c @@ -0,0 +1,929 @@ +/* + * This is a V4L2 PCI Skeleton Driver.

Overview -=========== -This driver supports the video streaming capabilities of the devices mounting -Winbond W9967CF and Winbond W9968CF JPEG USB Dual Mode Camera Chips. OV681 -based cameras should be supported as well. - -The driver is divided into two modules: the basic one, "w9968cf", is needed for -the supported devices to work; the second one, "w9968cf-vpp", is an optional -module, which provides some useful video post-processing functions like video -decoding, up-scaling and colour conversions. - -Note that the official kernels do neither include nor support the second -module for performance purposes. Therefore, it is always recommended to -download and install the latest and complete release of the driver, -replacing the existing one, if present. - -The latest and full-featured version of the W996[87]CF driver can be found at: -http://www.linux-projects.org. Please refer to the documentation included in -that package, if you are going to use it. - -Up to 32 cameras can be handled at the same time. They can be connected and -disconnected from the host many times without turning off the computer, if -your system supports the hotplug facility. - -To change the default settings for each camera, many parameters can be passed -through command line when the module is loaded into memory. - -The driver relies on the Video4Linux, USB and I2C core modules. It has been -designed to run properly on SMP systems as well. An additional module, -"ovcamchip", is mandatory; it provides support for some OmniVision image -sensors connected to the W996[87]CF chips; if found in the system, the module -will be automatically loaded by default (provided that the kernel has been -compiled with the automatic module loading option). - - -5. Supported devices -==================== -At the moment, known W996[87]CF and OV681 based devices are: -- Aroma Digi Pen VGA Dual Mode ADG-5000 (unknown image sensor) -- AVerMedia AVerTV USB (SAA7111A, Philips FI1216Mk2 tuner, PT2313L audio chip) -- Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam Go (OmniVision OV7610 sensor) -- Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam Go Plus (OmniVision OV7620 sensor) -- Lebon LDC-035A (unknown image sensor) -- Ezonics EZ-802 EZMega Cam (OmniVision OV8610C sensor) -- OmniVision OV8610-EDE (OmniVision OV8610 sensor) -- OPCOM Digi Pen VGA Dual Mode Pen Camera (unknown image sensor) -- Pretec Digi Pen-II (OmniVision OV7620 sensor) -- Pretec DigiPen-480 (OmniVision OV8610 sensor) - -If you know any other W996[87]CF or OV681 based cameras, please contact me. - -The list above does not imply that all those devices work with this driver: up -until now only webcams that have an image sensor supported by the "ovcamchip" -module work. Kernel messages will always tell you whether this is case. - -Possible external microcontrollers of those webcams are not supported: this -means that still images cannot be downloaded from the device memory. - -Furthermore, it's worth to note that I was only able to run tests on my -"Creative Labs Video Blaster WebCam Go". Donations of other models, for -additional testing and full support, would be much appreciated. - - -6. Module dependencies -====================== -For it to work properly, the driver needs kernel support for Video4Linux, USB -and I2C, and the "ovcamchip" module for the image sensor. Make sure you are not -actually using any external "ovcamchip" module, given that the W996[87]CF -driver depends on the version of the module present in the official kernels. - -The following options of the kernel configuration file must be enabled and -corresponding modules must be compiled: - - # Multimedia devices - # - CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m - - # I2C support - # - CONFIG_I2C=m - -The I2C core module can be compiled statically in the kernel as well. - - # OmniVision Camera Chip support - # - CONFIG_VIDEO_OVCAMCHIP=m - - # USB support - # - CONFIG_USB=m - -In addition, depending on the hardware being used, only one of the modules -below is necessary: - - # USB Host Controller Drivers - # - CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m - CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m - CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m - -And finally: - - # USB Multimedia devices - # - CONFIG_USB_W9968CF=m - - -7. Module loading -================= -To use the driver, it is necessary to load the "w9968cf" module into memory -after every other module required. - -Loading can be done this way, from root: - - [root@localhost home]# modprobe usbcore - [root@localhost home]# modprobe i2c-core - [root@localhost home]# modprobe videodev - [root@localhost home]# modprobe w9968cf - -At this point the pertinent devices should be recognized: "dmesg" can be used -to analyze kernel messages: - - [user@localhost home]$ dmesg - -There are a lot of parameters the module can use to change the default -settings for each device. To list every possible parameter with a brief -explanation about them and which syntax to use, it is recommended to run the -"modinfo" command: - - [root@locahost home]# modinfo w9968cf - - -8.

Overview and features -======================== -This driver supports the video interface of the devices mounting the ZC0301 or -ZC0301P Image Processors and Control Chips. - -The driver relies on the Video4Linux2 and USB core modules. It has been -designed to run properly on SMP systems as well. - -The latest version of the ZC0301[P] driver can be found at the following URL: -http://www.linux-projects.org/ - -Some of the features of the driver are: - -- full compliance with the Video4Linux2 API (see also "Notes for V4L2 - application developers" paragraph); -- available mmap or read/poll methods for video streaming through isochronous - data transfers; -- automatic detection of image sensor; -- video format is standard JPEG; -- dynamic driver control thanks to various module parameters (see "Module - parameters" paragraph); -- up to 64 cameras can be handled at the same time; they can be connected and - disconnected from the host many times without turning off the computer, if - the system supports hotplugging; - - -5. Module dependencies -====================== -For it to work properly, the driver needs kernel support for Video4Linux and -USB. - -The following options of the kernel configuration file must be enabled and -corresponding modules must be compiled: - - # Multimedia devices - # - CONFIG_VIDEO_DEV=m - - # USB support - # - CONFIG_USB=m - -In addition, depending on the hardware being used, the modules below are -necessary: - - # USB Host Controller Drivers - # - CONFIG_USB_EHCI_HCD=m - CONFIG_USB_UHCI_HCD=m - CONFIG_USB_OHCI_HCD=m - -The ZC0301 controller also provides a built-in microphone interface. It is -supported by the USB Audio driver thanks to the ALSA API: - - # Sound - # - CONFIG_SOUND=y - - # Advanced Linux Sound Architecture - # - CONFIG_SND=m - - # USB devices - # - CONFIG_SND_USB_AUDIO=m - -And finally: - - # V4L USB devices - # - CONFIG_USB_ZC0301=m - - -6. Module loading -================= -To use the driver, it is necessary to load the "zc0301" module into memory -after every other module required: "videodev", "v4l2_common", "compat_ioctl32", -"usbcore" and, depending on the USB host controller you have, "ehci-hcd", -"uhci-hcd" or "ohci-hcd". - -Loading can be done as shown below: - - [root@localhost home]# modprobe zc0301 - -At this point the devices should be recognized. You can invoke "dmesg" to -analyze kernel messages and verify that the loading process has gone well: - - [user@localhost home]$ dmesg - - -7. Module parameters -==================== -Module parameters are listed below: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: video_nr -Type: short array (min = 0, max = 64) -Syntax: <-1|n[,...]> -Description: Specify V4L2 minor mode number: - -1 = use next available - n = use minor number n - You can specify up to 64 cameras this way. - For example: - video_nr=-1,2,-1 would assign minor number 2 to the second - registered camera and use auto for the first one and for every - other camera. -Default: -1 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: force_munmap -Type: bool array (min = 0, max = 64) -Syntax: <0|1[,...]> -Description: Force the application to unmap previously mapped buffer memory - before calling any VIDIOC_S_CROP or VIDIOC_S_FMT ioctl's.

This parameter is - specific for each detected camera. This parameter can be - changed at runtime thanks to the /sys filesystem interface. -Default: 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -Name: debug -Type: ushort -Syntax: <n> -Description: Debugging information level, from 0 to 3: - 0 = none (use carefully) - 1 = critical errors - 2 = significant informations - 3 = more verbose messages - Level 3 is useful for testing only, when only one device - is used at the same time. It also shows some more informations - about the hardware being detected. This module parameter can be - changed at runtime thanks to the /sys filesystem interface. -Default: 2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - - -8. Supported devices -==================== -None of the names of the companies as well as their products will be mentioned -here. They have never collaborated with the author, so no advertising. - -From the point of view of a driver, what unambiguously identify a device are -its vendor and product USB identifiers. Below is a list of known identifiers of -devices mounting the ZC0301 Image Processor and Control Chips: - -Vendor ID Product ID ---------- ---------- -0x041e 0x4017 -0x041e 0x401c -0x041e 0x401e -0x041e 0x401f -0x041e 0x4022 -0x041e 0x4034 -0x041e 0x4035 -0x041e 0x4036 -0x041e 0x403a -0x0458 0x7007 -0x0458 0x700c -0x0458 0x700f -0x046d 0x08ae -0x055f 0xd003 -0x055f 0xd004 -0x0ac8 0x0301 -0x0ac8 0x301b -0x0ac8 0x303b -0x10fd 0x0128 -0x10fd 0x8050 -0x10fd 0x804e - -The list above does not imply that all those devices work with this driver: up -until now only the ones that mount the following image sensors are supported; -kernel messages will always tell you whether this is the case: - -Model Manufacturer ------ ------------ -PAS202BCB PixArt Imaging, Inc. -PB-0330 Photobit Corporation - - -9. Notes for V4L2 application developers -======================================== -This driver follows the V4L2 API specifications. In particular, it enforces two -rules: - -- exactly one I/O method, either "mmap" or "read", is associated with each -file descriptor. Once it is selected, the application must close and reopen the -device to switch to the other I/O method; - -- although it is not mandatory, previously mapped buffer memory should always -be unmapped before calling any "VIDIOC_S_CROP" or "VIDIOC_S_FMT" ioctl's. -The same number of buffers as before will be allocated again to match the size -of the new video frames, so you have to map the buffers again before any I/O -attempts on them. - - -10. Contact information -======================= -The author may be contacted by e-mail at <luca.risolia@studio.unibo.it>. - -GPG/PGP encrypted e-mail's are accepted. The GPG key ID of the author is -'FCE635A4'; the public 1024-bit key should be available at any keyserver; -the fingerprint is: '88E8 F32F 7244 68BA 3958 5D40 99DA 5D2A FCE6 35A4'. - - -11. Credits -=========== -- Informations about the chip internals needed to enable the I2C protocol have - been taken from the documentation of the ZC030x Video4Linux1 driver written - by Andrew Birkett <andy@nobugs.org>; -- The initialization values of the ZC0301 controller connected to the PAS202BCB - and PB-0330 image sensors have been taken from the SPCA5XX driver maintained - by Michel Xhaard <mxhaard@magic.fr>; -- Stanislav Lechev donated one camera. |
