Hello:
I have just done a JPEG HW encoder for the RK3288. I have been told
that I can't use the standard way to generate huffman table, the VPU
supports only 10 levels with a different huffman table.
If I send the huffman table through the v4l2 extra control, the memory
copy is requested, although the data is not very large(2 x 64 bytes) but
still a overhead. The other way is to place them in the kernel driver,
and just define the quality every time it encode a picture. But storing
in kernel would make the driver a little bigger(2 x 11 x 64 bytes) and
beyond the FIFO job.
So where Should I place the huffman table?
Put it in the driver. It's less than 1.5 kB, so really small.
I see.
I'm not sure what you mean with 'beyond the FIFO job' though.
I always been taught that the kernel driver is just FIFO between
userspace and hardware.
Next time I would learn those small thing(even hard code) could be
stored in kernel source code.
My understanding is that there 10 quality levels, each with its own
huffman table?
Right. But I still asking what the relationship is to the standard
quality in JPEG from 0 to 100 to the other staff.
So the driver would implement the V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY control
and for each quality level it picks a table. Makes sense to me.
Let looks I could omit a extra JPEG control then.
Regards,
Thank you.
P.S the encoder for VP8 and H.264 is really very hard. I really need
more time to do them. There is a new VA-API driver[1] which removed the
most possible information from the third party library(but still need
it) and using most decoder settings from the VA-API client.
The new kernel driver is in schedule as well.
