| 13 | + 2020-06: g_mbus has been removed in favour of the get_mbus_config pad |

13 | 17 | - This media driver supports inheriting V4L2 controls to the |
---|
14 | 18 | video capture devices, from the subdevices in the capture device's |
---|
15 | 19 | pipeline. The controls for each capture device are updated in the |
---|
.. | .. |
---|
17 | 21 | decided whether this feature is useful enough to make it generally |
---|
18 | 22 | available by exporting to v4l2-core. |
---|
19 | 23 | |
---|
20 | | -- The OF graph is walked at probe time to form the list of fwnodes to |
---|
21 | | - be passed to v4l2_async_notifier_register(), starting from the IPU |
---|
22 | | - CSI ports. And after all async subdevices have been bound, |
---|
23 | | - v4l2_fwnode_parse_link() is used to form the media links between |
---|
24 | | - the entities discovered by walking the OF graph. |
---|
| 24 | +- i.MX7: all of the above, since it uses the imx media core |
---|
25 | 25 | |
---|
26 | | - While this approach allows support for arbitrary OF graphs, there |
---|
27 | | - are some assumptions for this to work: |
---|
| 26 | +- i.MX7: use Frame Interval Monitor |
---|
28 | 27 | |
---|
29 | | - 1. All port parent nodes reachable in the graph from the IPU CSI |
---|
30 | | - ports bind to V4L2 async subdevice drivers. |
---|
| 28 | +- i.MX7: runtime testing with parallel sensor, links setup and streaming |
---|
31 | 29 | |
---|
32 | | - If a device has mixed-use ports such as video plus audio, the |
---|
33 | | - endpoints from the audio ports are followed to devices that must |
---|
34 | | - bind to V4L2 subdevice drivers, and not for example, to an ALSA |
---|
35 | | - driver or a non-V4L2 media driver. If the device were bound to |
---|
36 | | - such a driver, imx-media would never get an async completion |
---|
37 | | - notification because the device fwnode was added to the async |
---|
38 | | - list, but the driver does not interface with the V4L2 async |
---|
39 | | - framework. |
---|
40 | | - |
---|
41 | | - 2. Every port reachable in the graph is treated as a media pad, |
---|
42 | | - owned by the V4L2 subdevice that is bound to the port's parent. |
---|
43 | | - |
---|
44 | | - This presents problems for devices that don't make this port = pad |
---|
45 | | - assumption. Examples are SMIAPP compatible cameras which define only |
---|
46 | | - a single output port node, but which define multiple pads owned |
---|
47 | | - by multiple subdevices (pixel-array, binner, scaler). Or video |
---|
48 | | - decoders (entity function MEDIA_ENT_F_ATV_DECODER), which also define |
---|
49 | | - only a single output port node, but define multiple pads for video, |
---|
50 | | - VBI, and audio out. |
---|
51 | | - |
---|
52 | | - A workaround at present is to set the port reg properties to |
---|
53 | | - correspond to the media pad index that the port represents. A |
---|
54 | | - possible long-term solution is to implement a subdev API that |
---|
55 | | - maps a port id to a media pad index. |
---|
56 | | - |
---|
57 | | - 3. Every endpoint of a port reachable in the graph is treated as |
---|
58 | | - a media link, between V4L2 subdevices that are bound to the |
---|
59 | | - port parents of the local and remote endpoints. |
---|
60 | | - |
---|
61 | | - Which means a port must not contain mixed-use endpoints, they |
---|
62 | | - must all refer to media links between V4L2 subdevices. |
---|
| 30 | +- i.MX7: runtime testing with different formats, for the time only 10-bit bayer |
---|
| 31 | + is tested |
