The VSP is a memory-to-memory image processor than can perform operations such as format conversion, scaling, blending, ... There are multiple VSP instances on R-Car Gen2 and Gen3 SoCs, whose number and features depend on the particular SoC. The VSPD is a VSP type designed for display operation that can feed its output directly to the display in addition to writing it to memory like all other VSPs. On R-Car Gen3 SoCs usage of the VSPD for display is mandatory, so the VSPD is handled automatically by the DU driver and isn't visible to userspace. On R-Car Gen2 SocS usage of the VSPD for display os optional, so the VSPD is exposed to userspace through the V4L2 API. Connecting the VSPD output directly to the display on R-Car Gen2 currently requires out- of-tree patches (see http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.video.dri.devel/127526). -- Regards, Laurent Pinchart
