V4L2 display driver + Implements video2 and video3 device nodes and + provides v4l2 device interface to manage VID0 and VID1 layers. + + 2. Display controller + Loads up venc, osd and external encoders such as ths8200. It provides + a set of API calls to V4L2 drivers to set the output/standards + in the venc or external sub devices. It also provides + a device object to access the services from osd sub device + using sub device ops. The connection of external encoders to venc LCD + controller port is done at init time based on default output and standard + selection or at run time when application change the output through + V4L2 IOCTLs. + + When connetected to an external encoder, vpbe controller is also responsible + for setting up the interface between venc and external encoders based on + board specific settings (specified in board-xxx-evm.c). This allowes + interfacing external encoders such as ths8200. The setup_if_config() + is implemented for this as well as configure_venc() (part of the next patch) + API to set timings in venc for a specific display resolution.As of this + patch series, the interconnection and enabling ans setting of the external + encoders is not present, and would be a part of the next patch series. + + 3. Venc sub device + Responsible for setting outputs provides through internal dacs and also + setting timings at LCD controller port when external encoders are connected + at the port or LCD panel timings required. When external encoder/LCD panel + is connected, the timings for a specific standard/preset is retrieved from + the board specific table and the values are used to set the timings in + venc using non-standard timing mode. + + Support LCD Panel displays using the venc. For example to support a Logic + PD display, it requires setting up the LCD controller port with a set of + timings for the resolution supported and setting the dot clock. So we could + add the available outputs as a board specific entry ( i.e add the "LogicPD" + output name to board-xxx-evm.c). A table of timings for various LCDs + supported cab be maintained in the board specific setup file to support + various LCD displays. + + 4. osd sub device + Osd sub device implements all osd layer management and hardware specific + features. In the legacy drivers (LSPxxx), the hardware specific features + are configured through proprietary IOCTLs at the fb device interface. Since + sub devices are going to support device nodes, application will be able + to configure the hardware feayture directly by opening the osd sub device + node and by calling the related IOCTL. So these proprietary IOCTLs are + to be removed from the FB Device driver when doing up port of these drivers to + mainline kernel. The V4L2 and FB device nodes supports only IOCTLS as per + the associated spec. The rest of the IOCTLs are to be moved to osd and + venc sub devices. + + Current status:- + + A build tested version of vpbe controller is available. + + Following are TBDs. + + vpbe display controller + - review and modify the handling of external encoders. + - add support for selecting external encoder as default at probe time. + + vpbe venc sub device + - add timings for supporting ths8200 + - add support for LogicPD LCD. + + v4l2 driver + - A version is already developed which is to be cleaned up and unit tested + + FB drivers + - Add support for fbdev drivers.- Ready and part of subsequent patches. \ No newline at end of file -- 1.6.2.4 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
