[PATCH RFC v2 01/15] [media] Add common video interfaces OF bindings documentation

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Guennadi Liakhovetski <g.liakhovetski@xxxxxx>

This patch adds a document describing common OF bindings for video
capture, output and video processing devices. It is curently mainly
focused on video capture devices, with data busses defined by
standards like ITU-R BT.656 or MIPI-CSI2.
It also documents a method of describing data links between devices.

This is basically a resend of my previous version of this patch [1],
with just a few typo/grammar issue corrections.

+Common bindings for video data receiver and transmitter interfaces
+
+General concept
+---------------
+
+Video data pipelines usually consist of external devices, e.g. camera sensors,
+controlled over an I2C, SPI or UART bus, and SoC internal IP blocks, including
+video DMA engines and video data processors.
+
+SoC internal blocks are described by DT nodes, placed similarly to other SoC
+blocks.  External devices are represented as child nodes of their respective
+bus controller nodes, e.g. I2C.
+
+Data interfaces on all video devices are described by their child 'port' nodes.
+Configuration of a port depends on other devices participating in the data
+transfer and is described by 'endpoint' subnodes.
+
+dev {
+	#address-cells = <1>;
+	#size-cells = <0>;
+	port@0 {
+		endpoint@0 { ... };
+		endpoint@1 { ... };
+	};
+	port@1 { ... };
+};
+
+If a port can be configured to work with more than one other device on the same
+bus, an 'endpoint' child node must be provided for each of them.  If more than
+one port is present in a device node or there is more than one endpoint at a
+port, a common scheme, using '#address-cells', '#size-cells' and 'reg' properties
+is used.
+
+Two 'endpoint' nodes are linked with each other through their 'remote-endpoint'
+phandles.  An endpoint subnode of a device contains all properties needed for
+configuration of this device for data exchange with the other device.  In most
+cases properties at the peer 'endpoint' nodes will be identical, however
+they might need to be different when there is any signal modifications on the
+bus between two devices, e.g. there are logic signal inverters on the lines.
+
+Required properties
+-------------------
+
+If there is more than one 'port' or more than one 'endpoint' node following
+properties are required in relevant parent node:
+
+- #address-cells : number of cells required to define port number, should be 1.
+- #size-cells    : should be zero.
+
+Optional endpoint properties
+----------------------------
+
+- remote-endpoint : phandle to an 'endpoint' subnode of the other device node.
+- slave-mode : a boolean property, run the link in slave mode. Default is master
+  mode.
+- bus-width : number of data lines, valid for parallel buses.
+- data-shift: on parallel data busses, if bus-width is used to specify the
+  number of data lines, data-shift can be used to specify which data lines are
+  used, e.g. "bus-width=<10>; data-shift=<2>;" means, that lines 9:2 are used.
+- hsync-active : active state of HSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively.
+- vsync-active : active state of VSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively.
+  Note, that if HSYNC and VSYNC polarities are not specified, embedded
+  synchronization may be required, where supported.
+- data-active : similar to HSYNC and VSYNC, specifies data line polarity.
+- field-even-active: field signal level during the even field data transmission.
+- pclk-sample : rising (1) or falling (0) edge to sample the pixel clock signal.
+- data-lanes : an array of physical data lane indexes. Position of an entry
+  determines logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates physical
+  lane, e.g. for 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have "data-lanes = <1>, <2>;",
+  assuming the clock lane is on hardware lane 0. This property is valid for
+  serial buses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2).
+- clock-lanes : a number of physical lane used as a clock lane.
+- clock-noncontinuous : a boolean property to allow MIPI CSI-2 non-continuous
+  clock mode.
+
+Example
+-------
+
+The below example snippet describes two data pipelines.  ov772x and imx074 are
+camera sensors with parallel and serial (MIPI CSI-2) video bus respectively.
+Both sensors are on I2C control bus corresponding to i2c0 controller node.
+ov772x sensor is linked directly to the ceu0 video host interface.  imx074 is
+linked to ceu0 through MIPI CSI-2 receiver (csi2). ceu0 has a (single) DMA
+engine writing captured data to memory.  ceu0 node has single 'port' node which
+indicates at any time only one of following data pipeline can be active:
+ov772x -> ceu0 or imx074 -> csi2 -> ceu0.
+
+	ceu0: ceu@0xfe910000 {
+		compatible = "renesas,sh-mobile-ceu";
