i.MX Video Capture Driver
|
|
=========================
|
|
|
|
Introduction
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
The Freescale i.MX5/6 contains an Image Processing Unit (IPU), which
|
|
handles the flow of image frames to and from capture devices and
|
|
display devices.
|
|
|
|
For image capture, the IPU contains the following internal subunits:
|
|
|
|
- Image DMA Controller (IDMAC)
|
|
- Camera Serial Interface (CSI)
|
|
- Image Converter (IC)
|
|
- Sensor Multi-FIFO Controller (SMFC)
|
|
- Image Rotator (IRT)
|
|
- Video De-Interlacing or Combining Block (VDIC)
|
|
|
|
The IDMAC is the DMA controller for transfer of image frames to and from
|
|
memory. Various dedicated DMA channels exist for both video capture and
|
|
display paths. During transfer, the IDMAC is also capable of vertical
|
|
image flip, 8x8 block transfer (see IRT description), pixel component
|
|
re-ordering (for example UYVY to YUYV) within the same colorspace, and
|
|
even packed <--> planar conversion. It can also perform a simple
|
|
de-interlacing by interleaving even and odd lines during transfer
|
|
(without motion compensation which requires the VDIC).
|
|
|
|
The CSI is the backend capture unit that interfaces directly with
|
|
camera sensors over Parallel, BT.656/1120, and MIPI CSI-2 busses.
|
|
|
|
The IC handles color-space conversion, resizing (downscaling and
|
|
upscaling), horizontal flip, and 90/270 degree rotation operations.
|
|
|
|
There are three independent "tasks" within the IC that can carry out
|
|
conversions concurrently: pre-process encoding, pre-process viewfinder,
|
|
and post-processing. Within each task, conversions are split into three
|
|
sections: downsizing section, main section (upsizing, flip, colorspace
|
|
conversion, and graphics plane combining), and rotation section.
|
|
|
|
The IPU time-shares the IC task operations. The time-slice granularity
|
|
is one burst of eight pixels in the downsizing section, one image line
|
|
in the main processing section, one image frame in the rotation section.
|
|
|
|
The SMFC is composed of four independent FIFOs that each can transfer
|
|
captured frames from sensors directly to memory concurrently via four
|
|
IDMAC channels.
|
|
|
|
The IRT carries out 90 and 270 degree image rotation operations. The
|
|
rotation operation is carried out on 8x8 pixel blocks at a time. This
|
|
operation is supported by the IDMAC which handles the 8x8 block transfer
|
|
along with block reordering, in coordination with vertical flip.
|
|
|
|
The VDIC handles the conversion of interlaced video to progressive, with
|
|
support for different motion compensation modes (low, medium, and high
|
|
motion). The deinterlaced output frames from the VDIC can be sent to the
|
|
IC pre-process viewfinder task for further conversions. The VDIC also
|
|
contains a Combiner that combines two image planes, with alpha blending
|
|
and color keying.
|
|
|
|
In addition to the IPU internal subunits, there are also two units
|
|
outside the IPU that are also involved in video capture on i.MX:
|
|
|
|
- MIPI CSI-2 Receiver for camera sensors with the MIPI CSI-2 bus
|
|
interface. This is a Synopsys DesignWare core.
|
|
- Two video multiplexers for selecting among multiple sensor inputs
|
|
to send to a CSI.
|
|
|
|

|
|
manuals [#f1]_ and [#f2]_.

|
|
|
Features
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
Some of the features of this driver include:
|
|
|
|
- Many different pipelines can be configured via media controller API,
|
|
that correspond to the hardware video capture pipelines supported in
|
|
the i.MX.
|
|
|
|
- Supports parallel, BT.565, and MIPI CSI-2 interfaces.
|
|
|
|
- Concurrent independent streams, by configuring pipelines to multiple
|
|
video capture interfaces using independent entities.
|
|
|
|
- Scaling, color-space conversion, horizontal and vertical flip, and
|
|
image rotation via IC task subdevs.
|
|
|
|
- Many pixel formats supported (RGB, packed and planar YUV, partial
|
|
planar YUV).
|
|
|
|
- The VDIC subdev supports motion compensated de-interlacing, with three
|
|
motion compensation modes: low, medium, and high motion. Pipelines are
|
|
defined that allow sending frames to the VDIC subdev directly from the
|
|
CSI. There is also support in the future for sending frames to the
|
|
VDIC from memory buffers via a output/mem2mem devices.
|
|
|
|
- Includes a Frame Interval Monitor (FIM) that can correct vertical sync
|
|
problems with the ADV718x video decoders.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Entities
|
|
--------
|
|
|
|
imx6-mipi-csi2
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This is the MIPI CSI-2 receiver entity. It has one sink pad to receive
|
|
the MIPI CSI-2 stream (usually from a MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor). It has
|
|
four source pads, corresponding to the four MIPI CSI-2 demuxed virtual
|
|
channel outputs. Multiple source pads can be enabled to independently
|
|
stream from multiple virtual channels.
|
|
|
|
This entity actually consists of two sub-blocks. One is the MIPI CSI-2
|
|
core. This is a Synopsys Designware MIPI CSI-2 core. The other sub-block
|
|
is a "CSI-2 to IPU gasket". The gasket acts as a demultiplexer of the
|
|
four virtual channels streams, providing four separate parallel buses
|
|
containing each virtual channel that are routed to CSIs or video
|
|
multiplexers as described below.
|
|
|
|
On i.MX6 solo/dual-lite, all four virtual channel buses are routed to
|
|
two video multiplexers. Both CSI0 and CSI1 can receive any virtual
|
|
channel, as selected by the video multiplexers.
|
|
|
|
On i.MX6 Quad, virtual channel 0 is routed to IPU1-CSI0 (after selected
|
|
by a video mux), virtual channels 1 and 2 are hard-wired to IPU1-CSI1
|
|
and IPU2-CSI0, respectively, and virtual channel 3 is routed to
|
|
IPU2-CSI1 (again selected by a video mux).
|
|
|
|
ipuX_csiY_mux
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
These are the video multiplexers. They have two or more sink pads to
|
|
select from either camera sensors with a parallel interface, or from
|
|
MIPI CSI-2 virtual channels from imx6-mipi-csi2 entity. They have a
|
|
single source pad that routes to a CSI (ipuX_csiY entities).
|
|
|
|
On i.MX6 solo/dual-lite, there are two video mux entities. One sits
|
|
in front of IPU1-CSI0 to select between a parallel sensor and any of
|
|
the four MIPI CSI-2 virtual channels (a total of five sink pads). The
|
|
other mux sits in front of IPU1-CSI1, and again has five sink pads to
|
|
select between a parallel sensor and any of the four MIPI CSI-2 virtual
|
|
channels.
|
|
|
|
On i.MX6 Quad, there are two video mux entities. One sits in front of
|
|
IPU1-CSI0 to select between a parallel sensor and MIPI CSI-2 virtual
|
|
channel 0 (two sink pads). The other mux sits in front of IPU2-CSI1 to
|
|
select between a parallel sensor and MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 3 (two
|
|
sink pads).
|
|
|
|
ipuX_csiY
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
These are the CSI entities. They have a single sink pad receiving from
|
|
either a video mux or from a MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel as described
|
|
above.
|
|
|
|
This entity has two source pads. The first source pad can link directly
|
|
to the ipuX_vdic entity or the ipuX_ic_prp entity, using hardware links
|
|
that require no IDMAC memory buffer transfer.
|
|
|
|
When the direct source pad is routed to the ipuX_ic_prp entity, frames
|
|
from the CSI can be processed by one or both of the IC pre-processing
|
|
tasks.
|
|
|
|
When the direct source pad is routed to the ipuX_vdic entity, the VDIC
|
|
will carry out motion-compensated de-interlace using "high motion" mode
|
|
(see description of ipuX_vdic entity).
|
|
|
|
The second source pad sends video frames directly to memory buffers
|
|
via the SMFC and an IDMAC channel, bypassing IC pre-processing. This
|
|
source pad is routed to a capture device node, with a node name of the
|
|
format "ipuX_csiY capture".
|
|
|
|
Note that since the IDMAC source pad makes use of an IDMAC channel, it
|
|
can do pixel reordering within the same colorspace. For example, the
|
|
sink pad can take UYVY2X8, but the IDMAC source pad can output YUYV2X8.
|
|
If the sink pad is receiving YUV, the output at the capture device can
|
|
also be converted to a planar YUV format such as YUV420.
|
|
|
|
It will also perform simple de-interlace without motion compensation,
|
|
which is activated if the sink pad's field type is an interlaced type,
|
|
and the IDMAC source pad field type is set to none.
|
|
|
|
This subdev can generate the following event when enabling the second
|
|
IDMAC source pad:
|
|
|
|
- V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR
|
|
|
|
The user application can subscribe to this event from the ipuX_csiY
|
|
subdev node. This event is generated by the Frame Interval Monitor
|
|
(see below for more on the FIM).
|
|
|
|
Cropping in ipuX_csiY
|
|
---------------------
|
|
|
|
The CSI supports cropping the incoming raw sensor frames. This is
|
|
implemented in the ipuX_csiY entities at the sink pad, using the
|
|
crop selection subdev API.
|
|
|
|
The CSI also supports fixed divide-by-two downscaling indepently in
|
|
width and height. This is implemented in the ipuX_csiY entities at
|
|
the sink pad, using the compose selection subdev API.
|
|
|
|
The output rectangle at the ipuX_csiY source pad is the same as
|
|
the compose rectangle at the sink pad. So the source pad rectangle
|
|
cannot be negotiated, it must be set using the compose selection
|
|
API at sink pad (if /2 downscale is desired, otherwise source pad
|
|
rectangle is equal to incoming rectangle).
|
|
|
|
To give an example of crop and /2 downscale, this will crop a
|
|
1280x960 input frame to 640x480, and then /2 downscale in both
|
|
dimensions to 320x240 (assumes ipu1_csi0 is linked to ipu1_csi0_mux):
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/1280x960]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[crop:(0,0)/640x480]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[compose:(0,0)/320x240]"
|
|
|
|
Frame Skipping in ipuX_csiY
|
|
---------------------------
|
|
|
|
The CSI supports frame rate decimation, via frame skipping. Frame
|
|
rate decimation is specified by setting the frame intervals at
|
|
sink and source pads. The ipuX_csiY entity then applies the best
|
|
frame skip setting to the CSI to achieve the desired frame rate
|
|
at the source pad.
|
|
|
|
The following example reduces an assumed incoming 60 Hz frame
|
|
rate by half at the IDMAC output source pad:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':0[fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480@1/60]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':2[fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480@1/30]"
|
|
|
|
Frame Interval Monitor in ipuX_csiY
|
|
-----------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The adv718x decoders can occasionally send corrupt fields during
|
|
NTSC/PAL signal re-sync (too little or too many video lines). When
|
|
this happens, the IPU triggers a mechanism to re-establish vertical
|
|
sync by adding 1 dummy line every frame, which causes a rolling effect
|
|
from image to image, and can last a long time before a stable image is
|
|
recovered. Or sometimes the mechanism doesn't work at all, causing a
|
|
permanent split image (one frame contains lines from two consecutive
|
|
captured images).
|
|
|
|
From experiment it was found that during image rolling, the frame
|
|
intervals (elapsed time between two EOF's) drop below the nominal
|
|
value for the current standard, by about one frame time (60 usec),
|
|
and remain at that value until rolling stops.
|
|
|
|
While the reason for this observation isn't known (the IPU dummy
|
|
line mechanism should show an increase in the intervals by 1 line
|
|
time every frame, not a fixed value), we can use it to detect the
|
|
corrupt fields using a frame interval monitor. If the FIM detects a
|
|
bad frame interval, the ipuX_csiY subdev will send the event
|
|
V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR. Userland can register with
|
|
the FIM event notification on the ipuX_csiY subdev device node.
|
|
Userland can issue a streaming restart when this event is received
|
|
to correct the rolling/split image.
|
|
|
|
The ipuX_csiY subdev includes custom controls to tweak some dials for
|
|
FIM. If one of these controls is changed during streaming, the FIM will
|
|
be reset and will continue at the new settings.
|
|
|
|
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ENABLE
|
|
|
|
Enable/disable the FIM.
|
|
|
|
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_NUM
|
|
|
|
How many frame interval measurements to average before comparing against
|
|
the nominal frame interval reported by the sensor. This can reduce noise
|
|
caused by interrupt latency.
|
|
|
|
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_TOLERANCE_MIN
|
|
|
|
If the averaged intervals fall outside nominal by this amount, in
|
|
microseconds, the V4L2_EVENT_IMX_FRAME_INTERVAL_ERROR event is sent.
|
|
|
|
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_TOLERANCE_MAX
|
|
|
|
If any intervals are higher than this value, those samples are
|
|
discarded and do not enter into the average. This can be used to
|
|
discard really high interval errors that might be due to interrupt
|
|
latency from high system load.
|
|
|
|
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_NUM_SKIP
|
|
|
|
How many frames to skip after a FIM reset or stream restart before
|
|
FIM begins to average intervals.
|
|
|
|
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_CHANNEL
|
|
- V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_EDGE
|
|
|
|
These controls will configure an input capture channel as the method
|
|
for measuring frame intervals. This is superior to the default method
|
|
of measuring frame intervals via EOF interrupt, since it is not subject
|
|
to uncertainty errors introduced by interrupt latency.
|
|
|
|
Input capture requires hardware support. A VSYNC signal must be routed
|
|
to one of the i.MX6 input capture channel pads.
|
|
|
|
V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_CHANNEL configures which i.MX6 input capture
|
|
channel to use. This must be 0 or 1.
|
|
|
|
V4L2_CID_IMX_FIM_ICAP_EDGE configures which signal edge will trigger
|
|
input capture events. By default the input capture method is disabled
|
|
with a value of IRQ_TYPE_NONE. Set this control to IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_RISING,
|
|
IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_FALLING, or IRQ_TYPE_EDGE_BOTH to enable input capture,
|
|
triggered on the given signal edge(s).
|
|
|
|
When input capture is disabled, frame intervals will be measured via
|
|
EOF interrupt.
|
|
|
|
|
|
ipuX_vdic
|
|
---------
|
|
|
|
The VDIC carries out motion compensated de-interlacing, with three
|
|
motion compensation modes: low, medium, and high motion. The mode is
|
|
specified with the menu control V4L2_CID_DEINTERLACING_MODE. It has
|
|
two sink pads and a single source pad.
|
|
|
|
The direct sink pad receives from an ipuX_csiY direct pad. With this
|
|
link the VDIC can only operate in high motion mode.
|
|
|
|
When the IDMAC sink pad is activated, it receives from an output
|
|
or mem2mem device node. With this pipeline, it can also operate
|
|
in low and medium modes, because these modes require receiving
|
|
frames from memory buffers. Note that an output or mem2mem device
|
|
is not implemented yet, so this sink pad currently has no links.
|
|
|
|
The source pad routes to the IC pre-processing entity ipuX_ic_prp.
|
|
|
|
ipuX_ic_prp
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
This is the IC pre-processing entity. It acts as a router, routing
|
|
data from its sink pad to one or both of its source pads.
|
|
|
|
It has a single sink pad. The sink pad can receive from the ipuX_csiY
|
|
direct pad, or from ipuX_vdic.
|
|
|
|
This entity has two source pads. One source pad routes to the
|
|
pre-process encode task entity (ipuX_ic_prpenc), the other to the
|
|
pre-process viewfinder task entity (ipuX_ic_prpvf). Both source pads
|
|
can be activated at the same time if the sink pad is receiving from
|
|
ipuX_csiY. Only the source pad to the pre-process viewfinder task entity
|
|
can be activated if the sink pad is receiving from ipuX_vdic (frames
|
|
from the VDIC can only be processed by the pre-process viewfinder task).
|
|
|
|
ipuX_ic_prpenc
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
This is the IC pre-processing encode entity. It has a single sink
|
|
pad from ipuX_ic_prp, and a single source pad. The source pad is
|
|
routed to a capture device node, with a node name of the format
|
|
"ipuX_ic_prpenc capture".
|
|
|
|
This entity performs the IC pre-process encode task operations:
|
|
color-space conversion, resizing (downscaling and upscaling),
|
|
horizontal and vertical flip, and 90/270 degree rotation. Flip
|
|
and rotation are provided via standard V4L2 controls.
|
|
|
|
Like the ipuX_csiY IDMAC source, it can also perform simple de-interlace
|
|
without motion compensation, and pixel reordering.
|
|
|
|
ipuX_ic_prpvf
|
|
-------------
|
|
|
|
This is the IC pre-processing viewfinder entity. It has a single sink
|
|
pad from ipuX_ic_prp, and a single source pad. The source pad is routed
|
|
to a capture device node, with a node name of the format
|
|
"ipuX_ic_prpvf capture".
|
|
|
|
It is identical in operation to ipuX_ic_prpenc, with the same resizing
|
|
and CSC operations and flip/rotation controls. It will receive and
|
|
process de-interlaced frames from the ipuX_vdic if ipuX_ic_prp is
|
|
receiving from ipuX_vdic.
|
|
|
|
Like the ipuX_csiY IDMAC source, it can perform simple de-interlace
|
|
without motion compensation. However, note that if the ipuX_vdic is
|
|
included in the pipeline (ipuX_ic_prp is receiving from ipuX_vdic),
|
|
it's not possible to use simple de-interlace in ipuX_ic_prpvf, since
|
|
the ipuX_vdic has already carried out de-interlacing (with motion
|
|
compensation) and therefore the field type output from ipuX_ic_prp can
|
|
only be none.
|
|
|
|
Capture Pipelines
|
|
-----------------
|
|
|
|
The following describe the various use-cases supported by the pipelines.
|
|
|
|
The links shown do not include the backend sensor, video mux, or mipi
|
|
csi-2 receiver links. This depends on the type of sensor interface
|
|
(parallel or mipi csi-2). So these pipelines begin with:
|
|
|
|
sensor -> ipuX_csiY_mux -> ...
|
|
|
|
for parallel sensors, or:
|
|
|
|
sensor -> imx6-mipi-csi2 -> (ipuX_csiY_mux) -> ...
|
|
|
|
for mipi csi-2 sensors. The imx6-mipi-csi2 receiver may need to route
|
|
to the video mux (ipuX_csiY_mux) before sending to the CSI, depending
|
|
on the mipi csi-2 virtual channel, hence ipuX_csiY_mux is shown in
|
|
parenthesis.
|
|
|
|
Unprocessed Video Capture:
|
|
--------------------------
|
|
|
|
Send frames directly from sensor to camera device interface node, with
|
|
no conversions, via ipuX_csiY IDMAC source pad:
|
|
|
|
-> ipuX_csiY:2 -> ipuX_csiY capture
|
|
|
|
IC Direct Conversions:
|
|
----------------------
|
|
|
|
This pipeline uses the preprocess encode entity to route frames directly
|
|
from the CSI to the IC, to carry out scaling up to 1024x1024 resolution,
|
|
CSC, flipping, and image rotation:
|
|
|
|
-> ipuX_csiY:1 -> 0:ipuX_ic_prp:1 -> 0:ipuX_ic_prpenc:1 -> ipuX_ic_prpenc capture
|
|
|
|
Motion Compensated De-interlace:
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This pipeline routes frames from the CSI direct pad to the VDIC entity to
|
|
support motion-compensated de-interlacing (high motion mode only),
|
|
scaling up to 1024x1024, CSC, flip, and rotation:
|
|
|
|
-> ipuX_csiY:1 -> 0:ipuX_vdic:2 -> 0:ipuX_ic_prp:2 -> 0:ipuX_ic_prpvf:1 -> ipuX_ic_prpvf capture
|
|
|
|
|
|
Usage Notes
|
|
-----------
|
|
|
|
To aid in configuration and for backward compatibility with V4L2
|
|
applications that access controls only from video device nodes, the
|
|
capture device interfaces inherit controls from the active entities
|
|
in the current pipeline, so controls can be accessed either directly
|
|
from the subdev or from the active capture device interface. For
|
|
example, the FIM controls are available either from the ipuX_csiY
|
|
subdevs or from the active capture device.
|
|
|
|
The following are specific usage notes for the Sabre* reference
|
|
boards:
|
|
|
|
|
|
SabreLite with OV5642 and OV5640
|
|
--------------------------------
|
|
|
|
This platform requires the OmniVision OV5642 module with a parallel
|
|
camera interface, and the OV5640 module with a MIPI CSI-2
|
|
interface. Both modules are available from Boundary Devices:
|
|
|
|
- https://boundarydevices.com/product/nit6x_5mp
|
|
- https://boundarydevices.com/product/nit6x_5mp_mipi
|
|
|
|
Note that if only one camera module is available, the other sensor
|
|
node can be disabled in the device tree.
|
|
|
|
The OV5642 module is connected to the parallel bus input on the i.MX

|
internal video mux to IPU1 CSI0. It's i2c bus connects to i2c bus 2.
|
|
|
|
The MIPI CSI-2 OV5640 module is connected to the i.MX internal MIPI CSI-2
|
|
receiver, and the four virtual channel outputs from the receiver are
|
|
routed as follows: vc0 to the IPU1 CSI0 mux, vc1 directly to IPU1 CSI1,
|
|
vc2 directly to IPU2 CSI0, and vc3 to the IPU2 CSI1 mux. The OV5640 is
|
|
also connected to i2c bus 2 on the SabreLite, therefore the OV5642 and
|
|
OV5640 must not share the same i2c slave address.
|
|
|
|
The following basic example configures unprocessed video capture
|
|
pipelines for both sensors. The OV5642 is routed to ipu1_csi0, and
|
|
the OV5640, transmitting on MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 1 (which is
|
|
imx6-mipi-csi2 pad 2), is routed to ipu1_csi1. Both sensors are
|
|
configured to output 640x480, and the OV5642 outputs YUYV2X8, the
|
|
OV5640 UYVY2X8:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
# Setup links for OV5642
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ov5642 1-0042':0 -> 'ipu1_csi0_mux':1[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2 -> 'ipu1_csi0':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi0':2 -> 'ipu1_csi0 capture':0[1]"
|
|
# Setup links for OV5640
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ov5640 1-0040':0 -> 'imx6-mipi-csi2':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'imx6-mipi-csi2':2 -> 'ipu1_csi1':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi1':2 -> 'ipu1_csi1 capture':0[1]"
|
|
# Configure pads for OV5642 pipeline
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ov5642 1-0042':0 [fmt:YUYV2X8/640x480 field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2 [fmt:YUYV2X8/640x480 field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':2 [fmt:AYUV32/640x480 field:none]"
|
|
# Configure pads for OV5640 pipeline
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ov5640 1-0040':0 [fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480 field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'imx6-mipi-csi2':2 [fmt:UYVY2X8/640x480 field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi1':2 [fmt:AYUV32/640x480 field:none]"
|
|
|
|
Streaming can then begin independently on the capture device nodes
|
|
"ipu1_csi0 capture" and "ipu1_csi1 capture". The v4l2-ctl tool can
|
|
be used to select any supported YUV pixelformat on the capture device
|
|
nodes, including planar.

SabreAuto with ADV7180 decoder
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
On the SabreAuto, an on-board ADV7180 SD decoder is connected to the
|
|
parallel bus input on the internal video mux to IPU1 CSI0.
|
|
|
|
The following example configures a pipeline to capture from the ADV7180
|
|
video decoder, assuming NTSC 720x480 input signals, with Motion
|
|
Compensated de-interlacing. Pad field types assume the adv7180 outputs
|
|
"interlaced". $outputfmt can be any format supported by the ipu1_ic_prpvf
|
|
entity at its output pad:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
# Setup links
|
|
media-ctl -l "'adv7180 3-0021':0 -> 'ipu1_csi0_mux':1[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2 -> 'ipu1_csi0':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi0':1 -> 'ipu1_vdic':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_vdic':2 -> 'ipu1_ic_prp':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_ic_prp':2 -> 'ipu1_ic_prpvf':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_ic_prpvf':1 -> 'ipu1_ic_prpvf capture':0[1]"
|
|
# Configure pads
|
|
media-ctl -V "'adv7180 3-0021':0 [fmt:UYVY2X8/720x480]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0_mux':2 [fmt:UYVY2X8/720x480 field:interlaced]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi0':1 [fmt:AYUV32/720x480 field:interlaced]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_vdic':2 [fmt:AYUV32/720x480 field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_ic_prp':2 [fmt:AYUV32/720x480 field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_ic_prpvf':1 [fmt:$outputfmt field:none]"
|
|
|
|
Streaming can then begin on the capture device node at
|
|
"ipu1_ic_prpvf capture". The v4l2-ctl tool can be used to select any
|
|
supported YUV or RGB pixelformat on the capture device node.
|
|
|
|
This platform accepts Composite Video analog inputs to the ADV7180 on
|
|
Ain1 (connector J42).
|
|
|
|
SabreSD with MIPI CSI-2 OV5640
|
|
------------------------------
|
|
|
|
Similarly to SabreLite, the SabreSD supports a parallel interface
|
|
OV5642 module on IPU1 CSI0, and a MIPI CSI-2 OV5640 module. The OV5642
|
|
connects to i2c bus 1 and the OV5640 to i2c bus 2.
|
|
|
|
The device tree for SabreSD includes OF graphs for both the parallel
|
|
OV5642 and the MIPI CSI-2 OV5640, but as of this writing only the MIPI
|
|
CSI-2 OV5640 has been tested, so the OV5642 node is currently disabled.
|
|
The OV5640 module connects to MIPI connector J5 (sorry I don't have the
|
|
compatible module part number or URL).
|
|
|
|
The following example configures a direct conversion pipeline to capture
|
|
from the OV5640, transmitting on MIPI CSI-2 virtual channel 1. $sensorfmt
|
|
can be any format supported by the OV5640. $sensordim is the frame
|
|
dimension part of $sensorfmt (minus the mbus pixel code). $outputfmt can
|
|
be any format supported by the ipu1_ic_prpenc entity at its output pad:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: none
|
|
|
|
# Setup links
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ov5640 1-003c':0 -> 'imx6-mipi-csi2':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'imx6-mipi-csi2':2 -> 'ipu1_csi1':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_csi1':1 -> 'ipu1_ic_prp':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_ic_prp':1 -> 'ipu1_ic_prpenc':0[1]"
|
|
media-ctl -l "'ipu1_ic_prpenc':1 -> 'ipu1_ic_prpenc capture':0[1]"
|
|
# Configure pads
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ov5640 1-003c':0 [fmt:$sensorfmt field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'imx6-mipi-csi2':2 [fmt:$sensorfmt field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_csi1':1 [fmt:AYUV32/$sensordim field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_ic_prp':1 [fmt:AYUV32/$sensordim field:none]"
|
|
media-ctl -V "'ipu1_ic_prpenc':1 [fmt:$outputfmt field:none]"
|
|
|
|
Streaming can then begin on "ipu1_ic_prpenc capture" node. The v4l2-ctl
|
|
tool can be used to select any supported YUV or RGB pixelformat on the
|
|
capture device node.
|
|

|
Known Issues
|
|
------------
|
|
|
|
1. When using 90 or 270 degree rotation control at capture resolutions
|
|
near the IC resizer limit of 1024x1024, and combined with planar
|
|
pixel formats (YUV420, YUV422p), frame capture will often fail with
|
|
no end-of-frame interrupts from the IDMAC channel. To work around
|
|
this, use lower resolution and/or packed formats (YUYV, RGB3, etc.)
|
|
when 90 or 270 rotations are needed.
