[PATCH v4l-utils v7 0/7] Add a plugin for Exynos4 camera

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



This is a seventh version of the patch series adding a plugin for the 
Exynos4 camera. Last version [0] of the patch set was posted in
January.

The plugin doesn't link against libmediactl, but has its sources
compiled in. Currently utils are built after the plugins, but
libv4l-exynos4-camera plugin depends on the utils. In order to link
the plugin against libmediactl the build system would have to be
modified.

================
Changes from v6:
================

- close v4l2 sub-devices on media device release
- moved non-generic code from libmediactl to the plugin
- resigned from adding libmedia_ioctl library and moved all its
  code to the plugin, since it depended on pipeline representation,
  which was not generic for all possible media device topologies
- used media_get_info()->name instead of adding media_entity_get_name
- renamed media_get_backlinks_by_entity() to media_entity_get_backlinks(()
- moved pipeline from struct media_device to the plugin
- changed the way of associating video device file descriptor with media device
- switched to using auto-generated media-bus-format-names.h header file
- renamed v4l2-ctrl-redir config entry name to v4l2-ctrl-binding

================
Changes from v5:
================

- fixed and tested use cases with S5K6A3 sensor and FIMC-IS-ISP
- added conversion "colorspace id to string"

================
Changes from v4:
================

- removed some redundant functions for traversing media device graph
  and switched over to using existing ones
- avoided accessing struct v4l2_subdev from libmediactl
- applied various improvements

================
Changes from v3:
================

- added struct v4l2_subdev and put entity fd and 
  information about supported controls to it
- improved functions for negotiating and setting
  pipeline format by using available libv4lsubdev API
- applied minor improvements and cleanups

================
Changes from v2:
================

- switched to using mediatext library for parsing
  the media device configuration
- extended libmediactl
- switched to using libmediactl

================
Changes from v1:
================

- removed redundant mbus code negotiation
- split the parser, media device helpers and ioctl wrappers
  to the separate modules
- added mechanism for querying extended controls
- applied various fixes and modifications



The plugin was tested on v4.8-rc2 (exynos4-is driver doesn't proble properly
with current master branch of linux-media.git) with patches fixing several
issues for Exynos4 camera: [1], [2], [3].

The plugin expects a configuration file:
/var/lib/libv4l/exynos4_capture_conf

Exemplary configuration file for pipeline with sensor
S5C73M3 (rear camera):

==========================================

link-conf "s5p-mipi-csis.0":1 -> "FIMC.0":0 [1]
v4l2-ctrl-binding 0x0098091f -> "fimc.0.capture"
v4l2-ctrl-binding 0x00980902 -> "S5C73M3"
v4l2-ctrl-binding 0x00980922 -> "fimc.0.capture"
v4l2-ctrl-binding 0x009a0914 -> "S5C73M3"

==========================================

With this settings the plugin can be tested on the exynos4412-trats2 board
using following gstreamer pipeline:

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 extra-controls="c,rotate=90,color_effects=2" ! video/x-raw,width=960,height=720 ! fbdevsink

Exemplary configuration file for pipeline with sensor
S5K6A3 (front camera):

==========================================

link-conf "s5p-mipi-csis.1":1 -> "FIMC-LITE.1":0 [1]
link-conf "FIMC-LITE.1":2 -> "FIMC-IS-ISP":0 [1]
link-conf "FIMC-IS-ISP":1 -> "FIMC.0":1 [1]

==========================================

gst-launch-1.0 v4l2src device=/dev/video1 extra-controls="c,rotate=270,color_effects=2,horizontal_flip=1" ! video/x-raw,width=960,height=920 ! fbdevsink
