PXA-Camera Host Driver

|
======================
|
|
|
|
Constraints
|
|
-----------
|
|
a) Image size for YUV422P format
|
|
All YUV422P images are enforced to have width x height % 16 = 0.
|
|
This is due to DMA constraints, which transfers only planes of 8 byte
|
|
multiples.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Global video workflow
|
|
---------------------
|
|
a) QCI stopped
|
|
Initialy, the QCI interface is stopped.
|
|
When a buffer is queued (pxa_videobuf_ops->buf_queue), the QCI starts.
|
|
|
|
b) QCI started
|
|
More buffers can be queued while the QCI is started without halting the
|
|
capture. The new buffers are "appended" at the tail of the DMA chain, and
|
|
smoothly captured one frame after the other.
|
|
|
|
Once a buffer is filled in the QCI interface, it is marked as "DONE" and
|
|
removed from the active buffers list. It can be then requeud or dequeued by
|
|
userland application.
|
|
|
|
Once the last buffer is filled in, the QCI interface stops.

DMA usage
|
|
---------
|
|
a) DMA flow
|
|
- first buffer queued for capture
|
|
Once a first buffer is queued for capture, the QCI is started, but data
|
|
transfer is not started. On "End Of Frame" interrupt, the irq handler
|
|
starts the DMA chain.
|
|
- capture of one videobuffer
|
|
The DMA chain starts transferring data into videobuffer RAM pages.
|
|
When all pages are transferred, the DMA irq is raised on "ENDINTR" status
|
|
- finishing one videobuffer
|
|
The DMA irq handler marks the videobuffer as "done", and removes it from
|
|
the active running queue
|
|
Meanwhile, the next videobuffer (if there is one), is transferred by DMA
|
|
- finishing the last videobuffer
|
|
On the DMA irq of the last videobuffer, the QCI is stopped.
|
|
|
|
b) DMA prepared buffer will have this structure
|
|
|
|
+------------+-----+---------------+-----------------+
|
|
| desc-sg[0] | ... | desc-sg[last] | finisher/linker |
|
|
+------------+-----+---------------+-----------------+
|
|
|
|
This structure is pointed by dma->sg_cpu.
|
|
The descriptors are used as follows :
|
|
- desc-sg[i]: i-th descriptor, transferring the i-th sg
|
|
element to the video buffer scatter gather
|
|
- finisher: has ddadr=DADDR_STOP, dcmd=ENDIRQEN
|
|
- linker: has ddadr= desc-sg[0] of next video buffer, dcmd=0
|
|
|
|
For the next schema, let's assume d0=desc-sg[0] .. dN=desc-sg[N],
|
|
"f" stands for finisher and "l" for linker.
|
|
A typical running chain is :
|
|
|
|
Videobuffer 1 Videobuffer 2
|
|
+---------+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+
|
|
| d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | f |
|
|
+---------+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+---+
|
|
| |
|
|
+----+
|
|
|
|
After the chaining is finished, the chain looks like :
|
|
|
|
Videobuffer 1 Videobuffer 2 Videobuffer 3
|
|
+---------+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+
|
|
| d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | f |
|
|
+---------+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+---+
|
|
| | | |
|
|
+----+ +----+
|
|
new_link
|
|
|
|
c) DMA hot chaining timeslice issue
|
|
|
|
As DMA chaining is done while DMA _is_ running, the linking may be done
|
|
while the DMA jumps from one Videobuffer to another. On the schema, that
|
|
would be a problem if the following sequence is encountered :
|
|
|
|
- DMA chain is Videobuffer1 + Videobuffer2
|
|
- pxa_videobuf_queue() is called to queue Videobuffer3
|
|
- DMA controller finishes Videobuffer2, and DMA stops
|
|
=>
|
|
Videobuffer 1 Videobuffer 2
|
|
+---------+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+
|
|
| d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | f |
|
|
+---------+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+-^-+
|
|
| | |
|
|
+----+ +-- DMA DDADR loads DDADR_STOP
|
|
|
|
- pxa_dma_add_tail_buf() is called, the Videobuffer2 "finisher" is
|
|
replaced by a "linker" to Videobuffer3 (creation of new_link)
|
|
- pxa_videobuf_queue() finishes
|
|
- the DMA irq handler is called, which terminates Videobuffer2
|
|
- Videobuffer3 capture is not scheduled on DMA chain (as it stopped !!!)
|
|
|
|
Videobuffer 1 Videobuffer 2 Videobuffer 3
|
|
+---------+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+ +----+----+----+---+
|
|
| d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | l | | d0 | .. | dN | f |
|
|
+---------+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+-|-+ ^----+----+----+---+
|
|
| | | |
|
|
+----+ +----+
|
|
new_link
|
|
DMA DDADR still is DDADR_STOP
|
|
|
|
- pxa_camera_check_link_miss() is called
|
|
This checks if the DMA is finished and a buffer is still on the
|
|
pcdev->capture list. If that's the case, the capture will be restarted,
|
|
and Videobuffer3 is scheduled on DMA chain.
|
|
- the DMA irq handler finishes
|
|
|
|
Note: if DMA stops just after pxa_camera_check_link_miss() reads DDADR()
|
|
value, we have the guarantee that the DMA irq handler will be called back
|
|
when the DMA will finish the buffer, and pxa_camera_check_link_miss() will
|
|
be called again, to reschedule Videobuffer3.
