The mgb4 driver
|
|
===============
|
|
|
|
sysfs interface
|
|
---------------
|
|
|
|
The mgb4 driver provides a sysfs interface, that is used to configure video
|
|
stream related parameters (some of them must be set properly before the v4l2
|
|
device can be opened) and obtain the video device/stream status.
|
|
|
|
There are two types of parameters - global / PCI card related, found under
|
|
``/sys/class/video4linux/videoX/device`` and module specific found under
|
|
``/sys/class/video4linux/videoX``.

|
Common FPDL3/GMSL output parameters
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
**output_id** (R):
|
|
Output number ID, zero based.
|
|
|
|
**video_source** (RW):
|
|
Output video source. If set to 0 or 1, the source is the corresponding card
|
|
input and the v4l2 output devices are disabled. If set to 2 or 3, the source
|
|
is the corresponding v4l2 video output device. The default is
|
|
the corresponding v4l2 output, i.e. 2 for OUT1 and 3 for OUT2.
|
|
|
|
| 0 - input 0
|
|
| 1 - input 1
|
|
| 2 - v4l2 output 0
|
|
| 3 - v4l2 output 1
|
|
|
|
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while ANY of the input/output v4l2
|
|
devices is open.*
|
|
|
|
**display_width** (RW):
|
|
Display width. There is no autodetection of the connected display, so the
|
|
proper value must be set before the start of streaming. The default width
|
|
is 1280.
|
|
|
|
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
|
|
open.*
|
|
|
|
**display_height** (RW):
|
|
Display height. There is no autodetection of the connected display, so the
|
|
proper value must be set before the start of streaming. The default height
|
|
is 640.
|
|
|
|
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
|
|
open.*
|
|
|
|
**frame_rate** (RW):
|
|
Output video signal frame rate limit in frames per second. Due to
|
|
the limited output pixel clock steps, the card can not always generate
|
|
a frame rate perfectly matching the value required by the connected display.
|
|
Using this parameter one can limit the frame rate by "crippling" the signal
|
|
so that the lines are not equal (the porches of the last line differ) but
|
|
the signal appears like having the exact frame rate to the connected display.
|
|
The default frame rate limit is 60Hz.
|
|
|
|
**hsync_polarity** (RW):
|
|

|
|
| 1 - active high
|
|
|
|
**de_polarity** (RW):

|
|
|
**pclk_frequency** (RW):
|
|
Output pixel clock frequency. Allowed values are between 25000-190000(kHz)
|
|
and there is a non-linear stepping between two consecutive allowed
|
|
frequencies. The driver finds the nearest allowed frequency to the given
|
|
value and sets it. When reading this property, you get the exact
|
|
frequency set by the driver. The default frequency is 61150kHz.
|
|
|
|
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while the output v4l2 device is
|
|
open.*
|
|
|
|
**hsync_width** (RW):
|
|
Width of the HSYNC signal in pixels. The default value is 40.

|
Width of the VSYNC signal in video lines. The default value is 20.
|
|
|
|
**hback_porch** (RW):
|
|
Number of PCLK pulses between deassertion of the HSYNC signal and the first
|

valid pixel in the video line (marked by DE=1). The default value is 50.

|
**vfront_porch** (RW):
|
|
Number of video lines between the end of the last valid pixel line (marked
|
|
by DE=1) and assertion of the VSYNC signal. The default value is 30.

The GMSL multi-stream contains up to four video streams. This parameter
|
|
selects which stream is captured by the video input. The value is the
|
|
zero-based index of the stream. The default stream id is 0.
|
|
|
|
*Note: This parameter can not be changed while the input v4l2 device is
|
|
open.*
|
|
|
|

|
|

MTD partitions
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The mgb4 driver creates a MTD device with two partitions:
|
|
- mgb4-fw.X - FPGA firmware.
|
|
- mgb4-data.X - Factory settings, e.g. card serial number.
|
|
|
|
The *mgb4-fw* partition is writable and is used for FW updates, *mgb4-data* is
|
|
read-only. The *X* attached to the partition name represents the card number.
|
|
Depending on the CONFIG_MTD_PARTITIONED_MASTER kernel configuration, you may
|
|
also have a third partition named *mgb4-flash* available in the system. This
|
|
partition represents the whole, unpartitioned, card's FLASH memory and one should
|
|
not fiddle with it...
|
|
|
|
IIO (triggers)
|
|
--------------
|
|
|
|
The mgb4 driver creates an Industrial I/O (IIO) device that provides trigger and
|
|
signal level status capability. The following scan elements are available:
|
|
|
|
**activity**:
|
|
The trigger levels and pending status.
|
|
|
|
| bit 1 - trigger 1 pending
|
|
| bit 2 - trigger 2 pending
|
|
| bit 5 - trigger 1 level
|
|
| bit 6 - trigger 2 level
|
|
|
|
**timestamp**:
|
|
The trigger event timestamp.
|
|
|
|
The iio device can operate either in "raw" mode where you can fetch the signal
|
|
levels (activity bits 5 and 6) using sysfs access or in triggered buffer mode.
|
|
In the triggered buffer mode you can follow the signal level changes (activity
|
|
bits 1 and 2) using the iio device in /dev. If you enable the timestamps, you
|
|
will also get the exact trigger event time that can be matched to a video frame
|
|
(every mgb4 video frame has a timestamp with the same clock source).
|
|
|
|
*Note: although the activity sample always contains all the status bits, it makes
|
|
no sense to get the pending bits in raw mode or the level bits in the triggered
|
|
buffer mode - the values do not represent valid data in such case.*
|
