media: docs: split cpia2.rst on two files
In order to be able to better organize the subsystem, split the cpia2 information on two files: one user-facing and another one from Kernel development PoV. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab+huawei@kernel.org>

order to avoid confusion, here it is called mview. There is also the qx5view

program which can also control the lights on the qx5 microscope. MJPEG Tools

(http://mjpeg.sourceforge.net) can also be used to record from the camera.

Notes to developers

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

- This is a driver version stripped of the 2.4 back compatibility

and old MJPEG ioctl API. See cpia2.sf.net for 2.4 support.

Programmer's overview of cpia2 driver
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Cpia2 is the second generation video coprocessor from VLSI Vision Ltd (now a
|
||||
division of ST Microelectronics). There are two versions. The first is the
|
||||
STV0672, which is capable of up to 30 frames per second (fps) in frame sizes
|
||||
up to CIF, and 15 fps for VGA frames. The STV0676 is an improved version,
|
||||
which can handle up to 30 fps VGA. Both coprocessors can be attached to two
|
||||
CMOS sensors - the vvl6410 CIF sensor and the vvl6500 VGA sensor. These will
|
||||
be referred to as the 410 and the 500 sensors, or the CIF and VGA sensors.
|
||||
|
||||
The two chipsets operate almost identically. The core is an 8051 processor,
|
||||
running two different versions of firmware. The 672 runs the VP4 video
|
||||
processor code, the 676 runs VP5. There are a few differences in register
|
||||
mappings for the two chips. In these cases, the symbols defined in the
|
||||
header files are marked with VP4 or VP5 as part of the symbol name.
|
||||
|
||||
The cameras appear externally as three sets of registers. Setting register
|
||||
values is the only way to control the camera. Some settings are
|
||||
interdependant, such as the sequence required to power up the camera. I will
|
||||
try to make note of all of these cases.
|
||||
|
||||
The register sets are called blocks. Block 0 is the system block. This
|
||||
section is always powered on when the camera is plugged in. It contains
|
||||
registers that control housekeeping functions such as powering up the video
|
||||
processor. The video processor is the VP block. These registers control
|
||||
how the video from the sensor is processed. Examples are timing registers,
|
||||
user mode (vga, qvga), scaling, cropping, framerates, and so on. The last
|
||||
block is the video compressor (VC). The video stream sent from the camera is
|
||||
compressed as Motion JPEG (JPEGA). The VC controls all of the compression
|
||||
parameters. Looking at the file cpia2_registers.h, you can get a full view
|
||||
of these registers and the possible values for most of them.
|
||||
|
||||
One or more registers can be set or read by sending a usb control message to
|
||||
the camera. There are three modes for this. Block mode requests a number
|
||||
of contiguous registers. Random mode reads or writes random registers with
|
||||
a tuple structure containing address/value pairs. The repeat mode is only
|
||||
used by VP4 to load a firmware patch. It contains a starting address and
|
||||
a sequence of bytes to be written into a gpio port.
