[RFC,v5, 3/5] media: videodev2.h: Add new boottime timestamp type

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

 



For Camera AR(Augmented Reality) application requires camera timestamps
to be reported with CLOCK_BOOTTIME to sync timestamp with other sensor
sources.

The boottime timestamp is identical to monotonic timestamp,
except it also includes any time that the system is suspended.
