SPDX-License-Identifier: GPL-2.0 + +========================================== +ARM Mali-C55 Image Signal Processor driver +========================================== + +Introduction +============ + +This file documents the driver for ARM's Mali-C55 Image Signal Processor. The +driver is located under drivers/media/platform/arm/mali-c55. + +The Mali-C55 ISP receives data in either raw Bayer format or RGB/YUV format from +sensors through either a parallel interface or a memory bus before processing it +and outputting it through an internal DMA engine. Two output pipelines are +possible (though one may not be fitted, depending on the implementation). These +are referred to as "Full resolution" and "Downscale", but the naming is historic +and both pipes are capable of cropping/scaling operations. The full resolution +pipe is also capable of outputting RAW data, bypassing much of the ISP's +processing. The downscale pipe cannot output RAW data. An integrated test +pattern generator can be used to drive the ISP and produce image data in the +absence of a connected camera sensor. The driver module is named mali_c55, and +is enabled through the CONFIG_VIDEO_MALI_C55 config option. + +The driver implements V4L2, Media Controller and V4L2 Subdevice interfaces and +expects camera sensors connected to the ISP to have V4L2 subdevice interfaces. + +Mali-C55 ISP hardware +===================== + +A high level functional view of the Mali-C55 ISP is presented below.

The active source is selected by enabling the appropriate +media link and disabling all others. The ISP has two source pads, reflecting the +different paths through which it can internally route data. Tap points within +the ISP allow users to divert data to avoid processing by some or all of the +hardware's processing steps. The diagram below is intended only to highlight how +the bypassing works and is not a true reflection of those processing steps; for +a high-level functional block diagram see ARM's developer page for the +ISP [3]_:: + + +--------------------------------------------------------------+ + | Possible Internal ISP Data Routes | + | +------------+ +----------+ +------------+ | + +---+ | | | | | Colour | +---+ + | 0 |--+-->| Processing |->| Demosaic |->| Space |--->| 1 | + +---+ | | | | | | Conversion | +---+ + | | +------------+ +----------+ +------------+ | + | | +---+ + | +---------------------------------------------------| 2 | + | +---+ + | | + +--------------------------------------------------------------+ + + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Pad + - Direction + - Purpose + + * - 0 + - sink + - Data input, connected to the TPG and camera sensors + + * - 1 + - source + - RGB/YUV data, connected to the FR and DS V4L2 subdevices + + * - 2 + - source + - RAW bayer data, connected to the FR V4L2 subdevices + +The ISP is limited to both input and output resolutions between 640x480 and +8192x8192, and this is reflected in the ISP and resizer subdevice's .set_fmt() +operations. + +**mali-c55 resizer fr** +The `mali-c55 resizer fr` subdevice has two _sink_ pads to reflect the different +insertion points in the hardware (either RAW or demosaiced data): + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Pad + - Direction + - Purpose + + * - 0 + - sink + - Data input connected to the ISP's demosaiced stream. + + * - 1 + - source + - Data output connected to the capture video device + + * - 2 + - sink + - Data input connected to the ISP's raw data stream + +The data source in use is selected through the routing API; two routes each of a +single stream are available: + +.. flat-table:: + :header-rows: 1 + + * - Sink Pad + - Source Pad + - Purpose + + * - 0 + - 1 + - Demosaiced data route + + * - 2 + - 1 + - Raw data route + + +If the demosaiced route is active then the FR pipe is only capable of output +in RGB/YUV formats. If the raw route is active then the output reflects the +input (which may be either Bayer or RGB/YUV data). + +Using the driver to capture video +================================= + +Using the media controller APIs we can configure the input source and ISP to +capture images in a variety of formats. In the examples below, configuring the +media graph is done with the v4l-utils [1]_ package's media-ctl utility. +Capturing the images is done with yavta [2]_. + +Configuring the input source +---------------------------- + +The first step is to set the input source that we wish by enabling the correct +media link. Using the example topology above, we can select the TPG as follows: + +.. code-block:: none + + media-ctl -l "'lte-csi2-rx':1->'mali-c55 isp':0[0]" + media-ctl -l "'mali-c55 tpg':0->'mali-c55 isp':0[1]" + +Capturing bayer data from the source and processing to RGB/YUV +-------------------------------------------------------------- +To capture 1920x1080 bayer data from the source and push it through the ISP's +full processing pipeline, we configure the data formats appropriately on the +source, ISP and resizer subdevices and set the FR resizer's routing to select +processed data. The media bus format on the resizer's source pad will be either +RGB121212_1X36 or YUV10_1X30, depending on whether you want to capture RGB or +YUV. The ISP's debayering block outputs RGB data natively, setting the source +pad format to YUV10_1X30 enables the colour space conversion block. + +In this example we target RGB565 output, so select RGB121212_1X36 as the resizer +source pad's format: + +.. code-block:: none + + # Set formats on the TPG and ISP + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 tpg':0[fmt:SRGGB16_1X16/1920x1080]" + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 isp':0[fmt:SRGGB16_1X16/1920x1080]" + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 isp':1[fmt:SRGGB16_1X16/1920x1080]" + + # Set routing on the FR resizer + media-ctl -R "'mali-c55 resizer fr'[0/0->1/0[1],2/0->1/0[0]]" + + # Set format on the resizer, must be done AFTER the routing. + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 resizer fr':1[fmt:RGB121212_1X36/1920x1080]" + +The downscale output can also be used to stream data at the same time. In this +case since only processed data can be captured through the downscale output no +routing need be set: + +.. code-block:: none + + # Set format on the resizer + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 resizer ds':1[fmt:RGB121212_1X36/1920x1080]" + +Following which images can be captured from both the FR and DS output's video +devices (simultaneously, if desired): + +.. code-block:: none + + yavta -f RGB565 -s 1920x1080 -c10 /dev/video0 + yavta -f RGB565 -s 1920x1080 -c10 /dev/video1 + +Cropping the image +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Both the full resolution and downscale pipes can crop to a minimum resolution of +640x480. To crop the image simply configure the resizer's sink pad's crop and +compose rectangles and set the format on the video device: + +.. code-block:: none + + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 resizer fr':0[fmt:RGB121212_1X36/1920x1080 crop:(480,270)/640x480 compose:(0,0)/640x480]" + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 resizer fr':1[fmt:RGB121212_1X36/640x480]" + yavta -f RGB565 -s 640x480 -c10 /dev/video0 + +Downscaling the image +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +Both the full resolution and downscale pipes can downscale the image by up to 8x +provided the minimum 640x480 resolution is adhered to. For the best image result +the scaling ratio for each dimension should be the same. To configure scaling we +use the compose rectangle on the resizer's sink pad: + +.. code-block:: none + + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 resizer fr':0[fmt:RGB121212_1X36/1920x1080 crop:(0,0)/1920x1080 compose:(0,0)/640x480]" + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 resizer fr':1[fmt:RGB121212_1X36/640x480]" + yavta -f RGB565 -s 640x480 -c10 /dev/video0 + +Capturing images in YUV formats +~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ + +If we need to output YUV data rather than RGB the color space conversion block +needs to be active, which is achieved by setting MEDIA_BUS_FMT_YUV10_1X30 on the +resizer's source pad (the reduced bitdepth reflecting internal truncation after +color space conversion). We can then configure a capture format like NV12 (here +in its multi-planar variant) + +.. code-block:: none + + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 resizer fr':1[fmt:YUV10_1X30/1920x1080]" + yavta -f NV12M -s 1920x1080 -c10 /dev/video0 + +Capturing RGB data from the source and processing it with the resizers +---------------------------------------------------------------------- + +The Mali-C55 ISP can work with sensors capable of outputting RGB data. In this +case although none of the image quality blocks would be used it can still +crop/scale the data in the usual way. + +To achieve this, the ISP's sink pad's format is set to +MEDIA_BUS_FMT_RGB202020_1X60 - this reflects the format that data must be in to +work with the ISP. Converting the camera sensor's output to that format is the +responsibility of external hardware. + +In this example we ask the test pattern generator to give us RGB data instead of +bayer. + +.. code-block:: none + + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 tpg':0[fmt:RGB202020_1X60/1920x1080]" + media-ctl -V "'mali-c55 isp':0[fmt:RGB202020_1X60/1920x1080]" + +Cropping or scaling the data can be done in exactly the same way as outlined +earlier. + +Capturing raw data from the source and outputting it unmodified +----------------------------------------------------------------- + +The ISP can additionally capture raw data from the source and output it on the +full resolution pipe only, completely unmodified. In this case the downscale +pipe can still process the data normally and be used at the same time. + +To configure raw bypass the FR resizer's subdevice's routing table needs to be +configured, followed by formats in the appropriate places: + +.. code-block:: none + + # We need to configure the routing table for the resizer to use the bypass + # path along with set formats on the resizer's bypass sink pad.
