MIPI CCS camera sensor driver | ||
============================= | ||
|
||
The MIPI CCS camera sensor driver is a generic driver for `MIPI CCS | ||
<https://www.mipi.org/specifications/camera-command-set>`_ compliant | ||
camera sensors. It exposes three sub-devices representing the pixel array, | ||
the binner and the scaler. | ||
|
||
As the capabilities of individual devices vary, the driver exposes | ||
interfaces based on the capabilities that exist in hardware. | ||
|
||
Pixel Array sub-device | ||
---------------------- | ||
|
||
The pixel array sub-device represents the camera sensor's pixel matrix, as well | ||
as analogue crop functionality present in many compliant devices. The analogue | ||
crop is configured using the ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` on the source pad (0) of the | ||
entity. The size of the pixel matrix can be obtained by getting the | ||
``V4L2_SEL_TGT_NATIVE_SIZE`` target. | ||
|
||
Binner | ||
------ | ||
|
||
The binner sub-device represents the binning functionality on the sensor. For | ||
that purpose, selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` is supported on the | ||
sink pad (0). | ||
|
||
Additionally, if a device has no scaler or digital crop functionality, the | ||
source pad (1) expses another digital crop selection rectangle that can only | ||
crop at the end of the lines and frames. | ||
|
||
Scaler | ||
------ | ||
|
||
The scaler sub-device represents the digital crop and scaling functionality of | ||
the sensor. The V4L2 selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_CROP`` is used to | ||
configure the digital crop on the sink pad (0) when digital crop is supported. | ||
Scaling is configured using selection target ``V4L2_SEL_TGT_COMPOSE`` on the | ||
sink pad (0) as well. | ||
|
||
Additionally, if the scaler sub-device exists, its source pad (1) exposes | ||
another digital crop selection rectangle that can only crop at the end of the | ||
lines and frames. | ||
|
||
Digital and analogue crop | ||
------------------------- | ||
|
||
Digital crop functionality is referred to as cropping that effectively works by | ||
dropping some data on the floor. Analogue crop, on the other hand, means that | ||
the cropped information is never retrieved. In case of camera sensors, the | ||
analogue data is never read from the pixel matrix that are outside the | ||
configured selection rectangle that designates crop. The difference has an | ||
effect in device timing and likely also in power consumption. | ||
|
||
Register definition generator | ||
----------------------------- | ||
|
||
The ccs-regs.txt file contains MIPI CCS register definitions that are used | ||
to produce C source code files for definitions that can be better used by | ||
programs written in C language. As there are many dependencies between the | ||
produced files, please do not modify them manually as it's error-prone and | ||
in vain, but instead change the script producing them. | ||
|
||
Usage | ||
~~~~~ | ||
|
||
Conventionally the script is called this way to update the CCS driver | ||
definitions: | ||
|
||
