The Video Engine (VE) embedded in the Aspeed AST2400 and AST2500 SOCs

the host processor graphics output.

Add a V4L2 driver to capture video data and compress it to JPEG images,
making the data available through a standard read interface.

It seems you are not using videobuf2. I think it should simplify the read
I/O part and at the same time expose the other capture methods.

Hi,

Well I'm not sure it would simplify the read interface; it's quite simple as it is, both in the driver and to set up in user-space.

I did get streaming I/O working but found the performance significantly worse than simple read calls, and therefore not worth the additional complexity.

Is it required that I support streaming?

Thanks,
Eddie


There are plenty of examples to follow.

Eze
