I'm very, very happy to see a project to start implementing V4L2 support for the OMAP 4 ISS!! Thanks, Sergio! A few comments: - The driver is using videobuf. I wonder if the driver would benefit more from videobuf2. - As far as I understand, the OMAP 4 ISS is partially similar to the OMAP 3 one in design --- it has a hardware pipeline, that is. Fitting the bus receivers and the ISP under an Media controller graph looks relatively straightforward. The same might apply to SIMCOP, but then the question is: what kind of interface should the SIMCOP have? Being familiar with the history of the OMAP 3 ISP driver, I know this is not a small project. Still, starting to use the Media controller in an early phase would benefit the project in long run since the conversion can be avoided later. Which parts of the ISS require regular attention from the M3s? Is it the whole ISS or just the SIMCOP, for example? Kind regards, Sakari Ailus Ps. I have nothing against SoC camera, but when I look at the ISS overview diagram (section 8.1 in my TRM) I can't avoid thinking that this is exactly what the Media controller was created for. :-) -- Sakari Ailus sakari.ailus@xxxxxx -- 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
