[PATCH v5 0/5] Add ZynqMP VCU/Allegro DVT H.264 encoder driver

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

 



It has been a while since the last update, but here is v5 of the Allegro DVT
H.264 encoder found in the EV family of the Xilinx ZynqMP platform.

Patch 3 ("media: dt-bindings: media: Add vendor prefix for allegro") is new
and adds the Allegro DVT vendor prefix.

The biggest change is a pretty much rewrite of the NAL unit RBSP generator
code. I dropped the macros that were used for error handling and added an
error field to the rbsp struct to signal an error while writing or reading the
RBSP. Furthermore, the struct now contains function pointers for handling
different encodings (bit, bits, uev, sev) that are used in the RBSP. This
allows to have a single function for describing the structure of a NAL unit
instead of duplicating the function for read and write.

There are various minor fixes in the actual driver code including proper
handling of CMD_STOP and CMD_START for draining the encoder, an increased
estimate of the encoded stream size, and fixed handling of the busy state of
the ctrl handler.

Implementing draining also required Patch 1 ("videobuf2-v4l2: set
last_buffer_dequeued in dqbuf"), which I took from the mailing list. Not sure
how to handle this patch.

As suggested, I moved the driver out of staging.

I tested the driver with v4l2-compliance from the vicodec branch:

v4l2-compliance SHA: 7f5a6e9086653774a8c77bc773ef41c962d5e391, 64 bits
