Background: I have working video capture drivers based on the
TI PSP codebase from 2.6.32. In particular, I managed to get
a driver for the TVP5150 (analogue BT656) working with that kernel.
Now I need to update to Linux 3.0, so I'm trying to get a driver
working with the rewritten ISP code. Sadly, I'm having a hard
time with this - probably just missing something basic.
I've tried to clone the TVP514x driver which says that it works
with the OMAP3 ISP code. I've updated it to use my decoder device,
but I can't even seem to get into that code from user land.
Here are the problems I've had so far:
* udev doesn't create any video devices although they have been
registered. I see a full set in /sys/class/video4linux
# ls /sys/class/video4linux/
v4l-subdev0 v4l-subdev3 v4l-subdev6 video1 video4
v4l-subdev1 v4l-subdev4 v4l-subdev7 video2 video5
v4l-subdev2 v4l-subdev5 video0 video3 video6
Indeed, if I create /dev/videoX by hand, I can get somewhere, but
I don't really understand how this is supposed to work. e.g.
# v4l2-dbg --info /dev/video3
Driver info:
Driver name : ispvideo
Card type : OMAP3 ISP CCP2 input
Bus info : media
Driver version: 1
Capabilities : 0x04000002
Video Output
Streaming
* If I try to grab video, the ISP layer gets a ton of warnings, but
I never see it call down into my driver, e.g. to check the current
format, etc. I have some of my own code from before which fails
miserably (not a big surprise given the hack level of those programs).
I tried something off-the-shelf which also fails pretty bad:
# ffmpeg -t 10 -f video4linux2 -s 720x480 -r 30 -i /dev/video2 junk.mp4
I've read through Documentation/video4linux/omap3isp.txt without learning
much about what might be wrong.
Can someone give me some ideas/guidance, please?
Thanks
