The sensor has 2592*1944 active pixels, surrounded by 16 active dummy
pixels and there are an additional 24 black rows "at the bottom".

As recommended in the SELECTION API documentation, let's put the first
useful active pixel at the top/left corner (0,0).

This window is the default and maximal crop allowed by the sensor.

CROP_NATIVE = the full pixel array size = 2592x1944

CROP_BOUNDS = the rectangle that contains all possible crop
                rectangles, aka the readable portion of your pixel array.
                If in your case the sensor can read out dummy and non
                active lines this is == NATIVE

CROP_DEFAULT = the active/valid pixel area. If there are any
                 dummy/invalid lines the DEFAULT rectangle should not
                 include them

CROP = the portion of the active pixel area cropped to produce the
         final image. You should look into the modes definition and
         inspect what values are programmed in register 0x380x (I don't
         have a datasheet hence I don't know what corresponds to what)

Does this make any sense to you ?


It's difficult to make sense of the datasheet to be honest.


Seems like it is made on purpose, isn't it :)


There's a 3296x2480px "full-size" rectangle, then the sensor array output

Are there that many blank/invalid lines/cols ?


Seems very unlikely, but it's in the schema..

Can't rule out that they just reused the same schema they had for a bigger sensor and just didn't update the sizes for the full-size rectangle..

area called CROP and configurable through registers 0x380x, then another
output area called WIN (for window) also configurable through registers
0x380x. The WIN area seems to be just a mask applied on top of CROP area
("timing is not affected").

On top of that, the schema shows 24 black lines - I assume - incorrectly,
one after the start of the full-size rectangle, one after the end of the
full-size rectangle.

Then the sensor array area region in another section explicitly specifies
the sensor to be 2624x2000px, active dummy pixels (2 16-pixel rows and
columns) and black lines (1 24-pixel line) included. Which makes the actual
useful area 2592x1944px.

In the datasheet, the default size for the CROP area is
2624x1952px, offset (0,12) and for WIN it is 2592x1944px, offset (16,4)
(assumed relative to CROP given the second coordinate).

In the kernel driver though, the 2592x1944px mode configures the CROP area
to be 2624x1968px offset (0,4) and the WIN area to be 2592x1944px, offset
(16,13).

The datasheet only ever mentions 2592x1944px as being the max resolution of
the sensor though the sensor output area documentation and registers do not
mention such a limitation.

Since we're not modifying the crop area at the moment, CROP_DEFAULT and CROP
would be the same, which would both be 2592x1944px.

For the two others, I'm not sure. Any clue or hint with the info I just
gave?

Is my intrpretation of the above correct ?

         -------------------------------|


the 24 black lines and 16 dummy pixels rows at the bottom are swapped, but otherwise yes.

BTW, did you use a specific tool to make this schema?


Math looks right at least:

         2000 - 16 - 24 - 16 = 1944
         2624 - 16 - 16 = 2592

As V4L2 selection targets are defined in respect to they larger
sourrounding target, if the documentation about the full size array
(3296,2480) doesn't tell you what offset the readable part is, I think
it's fair to define
         - NATIVE == BOUNDS = (0, 0, 2624, 2000)
         - DEFAULT == CROP = (16, 16, 2592, 1944)

Or maybe better not define NATIVE at all.

The skipped rows/cols almost seems to match what the datasheet suggests by
combining the cropping and windowing rectangles top/left offsets (with
2 cols more skipped compared to my understanding)

         crop = (0, 12, 2624, 1952)
         win = (16, 6, 2592, 1944)

         CROP = (16, 18, 2592, 1944)

The driver does that a little differently with:

         crop = (0, 4, 2624, 1968)
         win = (16, 13, 2592, 1944)

         CROP = (16, 17, 2624, 1944)

Which seems a little off as the driver values for the VTS and HTS
register counts from 0 hence it seems to be skipping 17 rows and 18
cols (maybe the driver adjusts when writing the values to registers ?)


Datasheet states that whatever the window, it'll reuse the timings of the crop ("Windowing is achieved by masking off the pixels outside of the window; thus, the original timing is not affected."). So I assume what matters it that the timings are right for the crop.

If you feel like it you can try to adjust the driver rectangles, but
in my experience subtle regressions might be introduced by moving
those values, hence I would not be too concerned and just report
whatever the driver does. I assume you're doing this in the context of
pleasing libcamera requirements, and as much as I don't like saying
this, if we're 1 or 2 columns off when reporting the CROP rectangle,
it's not a huge issue.


Yes, this patch is for satisfying libcamera requirements.

I also just saw that we actually support two modes for the sensor. So I'll need to get the width and height of the currently selected supported_modes. Fortunately, the window+crop offsets seem identical so there's no need to add some logic for those.

I'll resend patch 3 and 4 separately so they can be merged and I'll continue fighting with runtime PM on our camera sensor, looking into HW if something's off there.

Cheers,
Quentin
