This really needs to be expanded. Ideally this should reference the precise specification of this format if available. It certainly should explain which HW blocks of the mediatek SoC use this format, it should explain that is it meant as an opaque intermediate format between those blocks. If you have some characteristics (i.e. is it lossy or lossless compression, I presume it's lossless), then that will be useful to add as well. We like to have as much information about formats as possible. Regards, Hans > > .. tabularcolumns:: |p{6.6cm}|p{2.2cm}|p{8.7cm}| > >

VDEC HW only output MT21C format, and it need MDP HW to convert to other standard format. At first, we plan to put "convert MT21C to other standard format" in our v4l2 decoder driver, actually in VPU firmware. In this case, there is no need to expose MT21C format to user space. But consider that MDP is a stand alone HW (interrupt, power, clk), combine decode and format convert in one decode step impact performance. VDEC HW and MDP HW could process different frame at same time. MDP may also used by other modules to do format convert, not only VDEC. That's why we need to expose MT21C to user space. When user space application enumerate VDEC and display HW and found that the format is not match. It need to use MDP driver to do format convert. > If you have some characteristics (i.e. is it lossy or lossless > compression, I > presume it's lossless), then that will be useful to add as well. > I will update this in next version. best regards, Tiffany > We like to have as much information about formats as possible. > > Regards, > > Hans > > > > > .. tabularcolumns:: |p{6.6cm}|p{2.2cm}|p{8.7cm}| > > > >
