[PATCH v8 00/10] media: Add driver for the Raspberry Pi <5 CSI-2 receiver

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

 



Hello everybody,

This patch series adds a new driver for the BCM2835 (and derivative)
CCP2/CSI2 camera interface named Unicam. This IP core is found in the
VC4-based Raspberry Pi, namely the Pi Zero, Pi 3 and Pi 4.

Camera support for Raspberry Pi 4 currently relies on a downstream
Unicam driver that live in the Raspberry Pi kernel tree ([1]). The
driver uses the V4L2 API, but works around the lack of features in V4L2
to properly support sensor embedded data. Since the Unicam driver
development by Raspberry Pi, some of those features have been merged in
the kernel (namely the V4L2 streams API) or are being developed (namely
generic metadata formats and subdev internal pads), with patches posted
for review on the linux-media mailing list ([2]).

This new upstream driver is based on the downstream code, extensively
reworked to use the new V4L2 APIs.

The series is based on a merge of

- v8 of the generic metadata and internal pads, rebased on v6.9-rc1 ([3])
- the downstream ISP driver ported to mainline ([4])

with a set of patches for the imx219 driver applied on top. For
convenience, it can be found in [5]. Note that the ISP driver is getting
upstreamed separately.

Compared to v7, I have left the imx219 patches out, as they don't need
to be bundled with the Unicam driver for review. They will be
resubmitted separately.

The series starts with four patches that add the Unicam driver (04/10),
with new V4L2 pixel formats (01/10 and 02/10) and DT bindings (03/10).
The remaining patches cover DT integration (05/10 to 09/10) with a
sample DT overlay for the IMX219 camera module (10/10).

The patches have been tested on a Raspberry Pi 4 using an IMX219 camera
module (the Raspberry Pi camera v2), with libcamera. Updates are needed
to libcamera to use the new V4L2 APIs, patches have been posted to [6].
For manual testing with media-ctl, corresponding API updates to
v4l-utils are available at [7].

While more work is needed to be able to merge the generic metadata API
(namely implementing support for the latest API version in media-ctl and
v4l2-compliance), I'm happy with the unicam implementation, and I
believe we're really nearing completion. This series, along with the
libcamera support, help validating the new kernel APIs. We have reached
a point where we can start converting other sensor drivers from the
downstream Raspberry Pi kernel to the standard APIs for embedded data,
as well as integrating the APIs in the Raspberry Pi 5 CFE driver.
