I am working on an application involving the davinci using the vpif. My
board file has the inputs configured to use VPIF_IF_RAW_BAYER if_type.
When my application starts up, I have it enumerate the formats
(VIDIOC_ENUM_FMT) and it indicates that the only available format is
"YCbCr4:2:2 YC Planar" (from vpif_enum_fmt_vid_cap). It looks to me that
the culprit is vpif_open().
struct channel_obj.vpifparams.iface is initialized at vpif_probe() time
in
the function vpif_set_input. Open the device file (/dev/video0)
overwrites
this. I suspect that it is __not__ supposed to do this, since I don't
see
any method for restoring the iface.
NAK, Ideally the application should go in the following manner,
you open the device say example /dev/video0 , then you issue
a VIDIOC_ENUMINPUT IOCTL, this will enumerate the inputs
then you do VIDIOC_S_INPUT this will select the input device
so when this IOCTL is called vpif_s_input() is called in vpif_capture
driver this function will internally call the vpif_set_input() which
will set the iface for you on line 1327.
Is there a document or documents where I can find this "following manner"?
I've read through a lot of v4l docs, but none seem to suggest an ordered
sequence of ioctl calls.
Yes thats the way its done! I dont have any docs but you can refer some test
application yavta[1] so that you are clear and you can also go through
the link [2].

[2] http://www.linuxtv.org/downloads/legacy/video4linux/API/V4L2_API/spec-single/v4l2.html
Thanks very much for your help. I'll check out the yavta sources.
I've looked at both the legacy and current specs. They are full of
information, but sadly, in my opinion, don't give a unified vision of
how to use the whole.
