9Introduction
10============
11
12This file documents the driver for the Rockchip ISP1 that is part of RK3288
13and RK3399 SoCs. The driver is located under drivers/staging/media/rkisp1
14and uses the Media-Controller API.

25The driver has 4 video devices:
26
27- rkisp1_mainpath: capture device for retrieving images, usually in higher
28  resolution.
29- rkisp1_selfpath: capture device for retrieving images.
30- rkisp1_stats: a metadata capture device that sends statistics.
31- rkisp1_params: a metadata output device that receives parameters
32  configurations from userspace.
33
34The driver has 3 subdevices:
35
36- rkisp1_resizer_mainpath: used to resize and downsample frames for the
37  mainpath capture device.
38- rkisp1_resizer_selfpath: used to resize and downsample frames for the
39  selfpath capture device.
40- rkisp1_isp: is connected to the sensor and is responsible for all the isp
41  operations.
42
43
44rkisp1_mainpath, rkisp1_selfpath - Frames Capture Video Nodes
45-------------------------------------------------------------
46Those are the `mainpath` and `selfpath` capture devices to capture frames.
47Those entities are the DMA engines that write the frames to memory.
48The selfpath video device can capture YUV/RGB formats. Its input is YUV encoded
49stream and it is able to convert it to RGB. The selfpath is not able to
50capture bayer formats.
51The mainpath can capture both bayer and YUV formats but it is not able to
52capture RGB formats.
53Both capture videos support
54the ``V4L2_CAP_IO_MC`` :ref:`capability <device-capabilities>`.
55
56
57rkisp1_resizer_mainpath, rkisp1_resizer_selfpath - Resizers Subdevices Nodes
58----------------------------------------------------------------------------
59Those are resizer entities for the mainpath and the selfpath. Those entities
60can scale the frames up and down and also change the YUV sampling (for example
61YUV4:2:2 -> YUV4:2:0). They also have cropping capability on the sink pad.
62The resizers entities can only operate on YUV:4:2:2 format
63(MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUYV8_2X8).
64The mainpath capture device supports capturing video in bayer formats. In that
65case the resizer of the mainpath is set to 'bypass' mode - it just forward the
66frame without operating on it.
67
68rkisp1_isp - Image Signal Processing Subdevice Node
69---------------------------------------------------
70This is the isp entity. It is connected to the sensor on sink pad 0 and
71receives the frames using the CSI-2 protocol. It is responsible of configuring
72the CSI-2 protocol. It has a cropping capability on sink pad 0 that is
73connected to the sensor and on source pad 2 connected to the resizer entities.
74Cropping on sink pad 0 defines the image region from the sensor.
75Cropping on source pad 2 defines the region for the Image Stabilizer (IS).
76
77.. _rkisp1_stats:
78
79rkisp1_stats - Statistics Video Node
80------------------------------------
81The statistics video node outputs the 3A (auto focus, auto exposure and auto
82white balance) statistics, and also histogram statistics for the frames that
83are being processed by the rkisp1 to userspace applications.
84Using these data, applications can implement algorithms and re-parameterize
85the driver through the rkisp_params node to improve image quality during a
86video stream.
87The buffer format is defined by struct :c:type:`rkisp1_stat_buffer`, and
88userspace should set
89:ref:`V4L2_META_FMT_RK_ISP1_STAT_3A <v4l2-meta-fmt-rk-isp1-stat-3a>` as the
90dataformat.
91
92.. _rkisp1_params:
93
94rkisp1_params - Parameters Video Node
95-------------------------------------
96The rkisp1_params video node receives a set of parameters from userspace
97to be applied to the hardware during a video stream, allowing userspace
98to dynamically modify values such as black level, cross talk corrections
99and others.
100
101The buffer format is defined by struct :c:type:`rkisp1_params_cfg`, and
102userspace should set
103:ref:`V4L2_META_FMT_RK_ISP1_PARAMS <v4l2-meta-fmt-rk-isp1-params>` as the
104dataformat.

107Capturing Video Frames Example
108==============================
109
110In the following example, the sensor connected to pad 0 of 'rkisp1_isp' is
111imx219.
112
113The following commands can be used to capture video from the selfpath video
114node with dimension 900x800 planar format YUV 4:2:2. It uses all cropping
115capabilities possible, (see explanation right below)
116

139
140	# start streaming:
141	v4l2-ctl "-z" "platform:rkisp1" "-d" "rkisp1_selfpath" "--stream-mmap" "--stream-count" "10"
142
143
144In the above example the sensor is configured to bayer format:
145`SRGGB10_1X10/1640x1232`. The rkisp1_isp:0 pad should be configured to the
146same mbus format and dimensions as the sensor, otherwise streaming will fail
147with 'EPIPE' error. So it is also configured to `SRGGB10_1X10/1640x1232`.
148In addition, the rkisp1_isp:0 pad is configured to cropping `(0,0)/1600x1200`.
149
150The cropping dimensions are automatically propagated to be the format of the
151isp source pad `rkisp1_isp:2`. Another cropping operation is configured on
152the isp source pad: `(0,0)/1500x1100`.
153
154The resizer's sink pad `rkisp1_resizer_selfpath` should be configured to format
155`YUYV8_2X8/1500x1100` in order to match the format on the other side of the
156link. In addition a cropping `(300,400)/1400x1000` is configured on it.
157
158The source pad of the resizer, `rkisp1_resizer_selfpath:1` is configured to
159format `YUYV8_2X8/900x800`. That means that the resizer first crop a window
160of `(300,400)/1400x100` from the received frame and then scales this window
161to dimension `900x800`.
162
163Note that the above example does not uses the stats-params control loop.
164Therefore the capture frames will not go through the 3A algorithms and
165probably won't have a good quality, and can even look dark and greenish.
166
167Configuring Quantization
168========================
169
170The driver supports limited and full range quantization on YUV formats,
171where limited is the default.
172To switch between one or the other, userspace should use the Colorspace
173Conversion API (CSC) for subdevices on source pad 2 of the
174isp (`rkisp1_isp:2`). The quantization configured on this pad is the
175quantization of the captured video frames on the mainpath and selfpath
176video nodes.
177Note that the resizer and capture entities will always report
178``V4L2_QUANTIZATION_DEFAULT`` even if the quantization is configured to full
179range on `rkisp1_isp:2`. So in order to get the configured quantization,
180application should get it from pad `rkisp1_isp:2`.
