---------------------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
The FIMC (Fully Interactive Mobile Camera) device available in Samsung
|
|
SoC Application Processors is an integrated camera host interface, color
|
|
space converter, image resizer and rotator. It's also capable of capturing
|
|
data from LCD controller (FIMD) through the SoC internal writeback data
|
|
path. There are multiple FIMC instances in the SoCs (up to 4), having
|
|
slightly different capabilities, like pixel alignment constraints, rotator
|
|
availability, LCD writeback support, etc. The driver is located at
|
|
drivers/media/platform/exynos4-is directory.
|
|
|
|

4. User space interfaces
|
|
========================
|
|
|
|
4.1. Media device interface
|
|
|
|
The driver supports Media Controller API as defined at
|
|
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/media_common.html
|
|
The media device driver name is "SAMSUNG S5P FIMC".
|
|
|
|
The purpose of this interface is to allow changing assignment of FIMC instances
|
|
to the SoC peripheral camera input at runtime and optionally to control internal
|
|
connections of the MIPI-CSIS device(s) to the FIMC entities.
|
|
|
|
The media device interface allows to configure the SoC for capturing image
|
|
data from the sensor through more than one FIMC instance (e.g. for simultaneous
|
|
viewfinder and still capture setup).
|
|
Reconfiguration is done by enabling/disabling media links created by the driver
|
|
during initialization. The internal device topology can be easily discovered
|
|
through media entity and links enumeration.
|
|
|
|
4.2. Memory-to-memory video node
|
|
|
|
V4L2 memory-to-memory interface at /dev/video? device node. This is standalone
|
|
video device, it has no media pads. However please note the mem-to-mem and
|
|
capture video node operation on same FIMC instance is not allowed. The driver
|
|
detects such cases but the applications should prevent them to avoid an
|
|
undefined behaviour.
|
|
|
|
4.3. Capture video node
|
|
|
|
The driver supports V4L2 Video Capture Interface as defined at:
|
|
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/devices.html
|
|
|
|
At the capture and mem-to-mem video nodes only the multi-planar API is
|
|
supported. For more details see:
|
|
http://linuxtv.org/downloads/v4l-dvb-apis/planar-apis.html
|
|
|
|
4.4. Camera capture subdevs
|
|
|
|
Each FIMC instance exports a sub-device node (/dev/v4l-subdev?), a sub-device
|
|
node is also created per each available and enabled at the platform level
|
|
MIPI-CSI receiver device (currently up to two).
|
|
|
|
4.5. sysfs
|
|
|
|
In order to enable more precise camera pipeline control through the sub-device
|
|
API the driver creates a sysfs entry associated with "s5p-fimc-md" platform
|
|
device. The entry path is: /sys/platform/devices/s5p-fimc-md/subdev_conf_mode.
|
|
|
|
In typical use case there could be a following capture pipeline configuration:
|
|
sensor subdev -> mipi-csi subdev -> fimc subdev -> video node
|
|
|
|
When we configure these devices through sub-device API at user space, the
|
|
configuration flow must be from left to right, and the video node is
|
|
configured as last one.
|
|
When we don't use sub-device user space API the whole configuration of all
|
|
devices belonging to the pipeline is done at the video node driver.
|
|
The sysfs entry allows to instruct the capture node driver not to configure
|
|
the sub-devices (format, crop), to avoid resetting the subdevs' configuration
|
|
when the last configuration steps at the video node is performed.
|
|
|
|
For full sub-device control support (subdevs configured at user space before
|
|
starting streaming):
|
|
# echo "sub-dev" > /sys/platform/devices/s5p-fimc-md/subdev_conf_mode
|
|
|
|
For V4L2 video node control only (subdevs configured internally by the host
|
|
driver):
|
|
# echo "vid-dev" > /sys/platform/devices/s5p-fimc-md/subdev_conf_mode
|
|
This is a default option.
|
|
|
|
5. Device mapping to video and subdev device nodes
|
|
==================================================
|
|
|
|
There are associated two video device nodes with each device instance in
|
|
hardware - video capture and mem-to-mem and additionally a subdev node for
|
|
more precise FIMC capture subsystem control. In addition a separate v4l2
|
|
sub-device node is created per each MIPI-CSIS device.
|
|
|
|
How to find out which /dev/video? or /dev/v4l-subdev? is assigned to which
|
|
device?
|
|
|
|
You can either grep through the kernel log to find relevant information, i.e.
|
|
# dmesg | grep -i fimc
|
|
(note that udev, if present, might still have rearranged the video nodes),
|
|
|
|
or retrieve the information from /dev/media? with help of the media-ctl tool:
|
|
# media-ctl -p
|
|
|
|
6. Platform support
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
The machine code (arch/arm/plat-samsung and arch/arm/mach-*) must select
|
|
following options:
|
|
|
|
CONFIG_S5P_DEV_FIMC0 mandatory
|
|
CONFIG_S5P_DEV_FIMC1 \
|
|
CONFIG_S5P_DEV_FIMC2 | optional
|
|
CONFIG_S5P_DEV_FIMC3 |
|
|
CONFIG_S5P_SETUP_FIMC /
|
|
CONFIG_S5P_SETUP_MIPIPHY \
|
|
CONFIG_S5P_DEV_CSIS0 | optional for MIPI-CSI interface
|
|
CONFIG_S5P_DEV_CSIS1 /
|
|
|
|
Except that, relevant s5p_device_fimc? should be registered in the machine code
|
|
in addition to a "s5p-fimc-md" platform device to which the media device driver
|
|
is bound. The "s5p-fimc-md" device instance is required even if only mem-to-mem
|
|
operation is used.
|
|
|
|
The description of sensor(s) attached to FIMC/MIPI-CSIS camera inputs should be
|
|
passed as the "s5p-fimc-md" device platform_data. The platform data structure
|
|
is defined in file include/media/s5p_fimc.h.
|
|
|
|
7. Build
|
|
========
|
|
|
|
This driver depends on following config options:
|
|
PLAT_S5P,
|
|
PM_RUNTIME,
|
|
I2C,
|
|
REGULATOR,
|
|
VIDEO_V4L2_SUBDEV_API,
|
|
|
|
If the driver is built as a loadable kernel module (CONFIG_VIDEO_SAMSUNG_S5P_FIMC=m)
|
|
two modules are created (in addition to the core v4l2 modules): s5p-fimc.ko and
|
|
optional s5p-csis.ko (MIPI-CSI receiver subdev).
