Most of the driver-specific documentation is meant to help users of the media subsystem. Move them to the admin-guide. It should be noticed, however, that several of those files are outdated and will require further work in order to make them useful again.

| Introduction
 | |
| ------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| This file documents the Texas Instruments OMAP 3 Image Signal Processor (ISP)
 | |
| driver located under drivers/media/platform/omap3isp. The original driver was
 | |
| written by Texas Instruments but since that it has been rewritten (twice) at
 | |
| Nokia.
 | |
| 
 | |
| The driver has been successfully used on the following versions of OMAP 3:
 | |
| 
 | |
| - 3430
 | |
| - 3530
 | |
| - 3630
 | |
| 
 | |
| The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and v4l2_subdev interfaces.
 | |
| Sensor, lens and flash drivers using the v4l2_subdev interface in the kernel
 | |
| are supported.
 | |
| 
 | |
| 
 | |
| Split to subdevs
 | |
| ----------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| The OMAP 3 ISP is split into V4L2 subdevs, each of the blocks inside the ISP
 | |
| having one subdev to represent it. Each of the subdevs provide a V4L2 subdev
 | |
| interface to userspace.
 | |
| 
 | |
| - OMAP3 ISP CCP2
 | |
| - OMAP3 ISP CSI2a
 | |
| - OMAP3 ISP CCDC
 | |
| - OMAP3 ISP preview
 | |
| - OMAP3 ISP resizer
 | |
| - OMAP3 ISP AEWB
 | |
| - OMAP3 ISP AF
 | |
| - OMAP3 ISP histogram
 | |
| 
 | |
| Each possible link in the ISP is modelled by a link in the Media controller
 | |
| interface. For an example program see [#]_.
 | |

| 
 | |
| Controlling the OMAP 3 ISP
 | |
| --------------------------
 | |
| 
 | |
| In general, the settings given to the OMAP 3 ISP take effect at the beginning
 | |
| of the following frame. This is done when the module becomes idle during the
 | |
| vertical blanking period on the sensor. In memory-to-memory operation the pipe
 | |
| is run one frame at a time. Applying the settings is done between the frames.
 | |
| 
 | |
| All the blocks in the ISP, excluding the CSI-2 and possibly the CCP2 receiver,
 | |
| insist on receiving complete frames. Sensors must thus never send the ISP
 | |
| partial frames.
 | |
| 
 | |
| Autoidle does have issues with some ISP blocks on the 3430, at least.
 | |
| Autoidle is only enabled on 3630 when the omap3isp module parameter autoidle
 | |
| is non-zero.
