It's less than 1.5 kB, so really small. I'm not sure what you mean with 'beyond the FIFO job' though. My understanding is that there 10 quality levels, each with its own huffman table? So the driver would implement the V4L2_CID_JPEG_COMPRESSION_QUALITY control and for each quality level it picks a table. Makes sense to me. Regards, Hans
