no video device

2009-03-18 Thread Rolf Schumacher
Hi, dvb professionals,

I followed the advices on
http://www.linuxtv.org/wiki/index.php/How_to_Obtain%2C_Build_and_Install_V4L-DVB_Device_Drivers#Optional_Pre-Compilation_Steps

Build and Installation Instructions

downloaded the v4l sources via mercurial,
make and sudo make install finished without error messages.

rebooted the computer

dmesg shows the device:

---
usb 2-1: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 6
usb 2-1: configuration #1 chosen from 1 choice
usb 2-1: New USB device found, idVendor=0b48, idProduct=300d

usb 2-1: Product: TT-USB2.0
usb 2-1: Manufacturer: TechnoTrend
usb 2-1: SerialNumber: LHKAMG
---

no error if I unplug and plug it on USB again

the connected box is a TechnoTrend CT 3560 CI
I googled and found chipset names like TDA8274 + TDA10023
did not find anything in wiki, so I could not determine module or driver
names to be identified with lsmod.

there is no created /dev/dvb or /dev/video device

google did not help me answering the question do I need firmware, and
if so where to get it

uname -a shows

UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux

for now I got stuck.

Do you know of a next step towards having tv on my laptop?

soc-camera - v4l2-device: possible API extension requirements

2009-03-18 Thread Guennadi Liakhovetski
Hi Hans,

I am doing the first step of the soc-camera integration with your 
v4l2-device API. As discussed on IRC, this first step changes the probing 
/ releasing procedures in soc-camera to match v4l2-device expectations. 
While at it I came across a few points in your current API, which might 
need to be changed to be used with soc-camera, or maybe I just 
misunderstand something and you will be able to resolve my questions:

1. this can be kept, maybe, just it doesn't seem very comfortable to me: 
the fact that v4l2_i2c_new_subdev() relies on loading of the i2c driver 
for the subdevice. First, you put the call to request_module() under 
#ifdef MODULE
which means, if v4l2-common.c is compiled as a module, it will also assume 
that the i2c subdevice driver is a module, which doesn't have to be the 
case. Secondly, this means manual unloading and loading of the module at a 
later time will be impossible. No, I do not know why one would need this - 
apart from during development. But even the inability to do this during 
driver development already makes this questionable, IMHO. The only way I 
see possible so far, is, for example, if I have the pxa-camera driver and 
a sensor driver, then I can first unload the pxa-camera driver, which 
should cause v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() to be called, then unload the 
sensor driver, then load the pxa-camera driver again, which should then 
auto-load the sensor driver.

2. In a comment you write to v4l2_i2c_new_subdev():
/* Load an i2c sub-device. It assumes that i2c_get_adapdata(adapter)
   returns the v4l2_device and that i2c_get_clientdata(client)
   returns the v4l2_subdev. */
I don't think this is possible with generic SoC i2c adapters. On 
soc-camera systems v4l2 subdevices are connected to generic i2c busses, 
so, you cannot require, that i2c_get_adapdata(adapter) returns the 
v4l2_device.

3. Currently soc-camera works in a way, that during probing of an i2c 
(sub)device, the Master Clock of the host camera interface is turned on, 
after the probing it is turned off again. Then it is turned on at first 
open() and off at last close(). This should also be possible with the 
module autoloading in v4l2_i2c_new_subdev(), but this adds even more 
fragileness to the system.

I think, a simple addition to the v4l2-device API could solve this 
problems and make the API more transparent:

1. hi, I am driver X's probing routine, going to probe device Y, please, 
turn it on (action: master clock on)

2. probing for device Y completed (un)successfully (action: master clock 
off, if successful - create /dev/videoY)

3. driver X is being unloaded, I am releasing device Y (action: rip 
/dev/videoY)

We could agree on keeping /dev/videoY even when no sensor driver is 
present and just return -ENODEV on open(), and thus simplify the above but 
I am not sure if this is desired.

I am sure I will have more questions or suggestions, I will keep posting 
to this thread as they appear.

Thanks

Re: soc-camera - v4l2-device: possible API extension requirements

Hi Guennadi,

 / releasing procedures in soc-camera to match v4l2-device expectations.

 #ifdef MODULE
 which means, if v4l2-common.c is compiled as a module, it will also assume
 that the i2c subdevice driver is a module, which doesn't have to be the
 case.

Ah, good catch. That's not right. The intention is to test whether module
support is configured at all in the kernel, but I think that is
CONFIG_MODULE or something like that. I'll change this.

 Secondly, this means manual unloading and loading of the module at a
 later time will be impossible. No, I do not know why one would need this -
 apart from during development. But even the inability to do this during
 driver development already makes this questionable, IMHO. The only way I

 should cause v4l2_device_unregister_subdev() to be called, then unload the
 sensor driver, then load the pxa-camera driver again, which should then
 auto-load the sensor driver.

In v4l devices these i2c devices are an integral part of the v4l device.
It is not like the sensor i2c devices that are basically independent
devices. Also, many i2c drivers used by v4l have internal state, so
unloading them on the fly and reloading them later will in general not
work.

If a v4l driver loads an i2c module and it can obtain a v4l2_subdev
pointer successfully, then it increases the module's refcount to prevent
it from being unloaded. This is by design.

Without autoprobing I also see no point in allowing an i2c module to be
unloaded while in use. Reloading it won't re-attach it to the adapter
anyway.

BTW, when developing I usually run 'make unload' from the top v4l-dvb
directory. That will unload all v4l drivers.

 2. In a comment you write to v4l2_i2c_new_subdev():
 /* Load an i2c sub-device. It assumes that i2c_get_adapdata(adapter)
returns the v4l2_device and that i2c_get_clientdata(client)

 I don't think this is possible with generic SoC i2c adapters. On
 soc-camera systems v4l2 subdevices are connected to generic i2c busses,
 so, you cannot require, that i2c_get_adapdata(adapter) returns the
 v4l2_device.

Good point, I'll look at this. I don't think it is difficult to change,
although I will probably wait until several pending driver conversions are
merged. Then I can fix this in one sweep.


 3. Currently soc-camera works in a way, that during probing of an i2c
 (sub)device, the Master Clock of the host camera interface is turned on,
 after the probing it is turned off again. Then it is turned on at first
 open() and off at last close(). This should also be possible with the

 /dev/videoY)

 We could agree on keeping /dev/videoY even when no sensor driver is
 present and just return -ENODEV on open(), and thus simplify the above but
 I am not sure if this is desired.

I don't follow you. It is the adapter driver that controls which subdevs
are loaded/probed, when they are loaded or unloaded and it can also decide
when to start/stop the master clock. This new situation is different in
that loading an i2c module will no longer work, the initiative has to come
from the adapter/bridge/host/whatever driver who determines what has to be
done based on platform board info.

 I am sure I will have more questions or suggestions, I will keep posting
 to this thread as they appear.

Looking forward to this!

Terratec Cinergy C

2009-03-18 Thread Anders Melchiorsen
I just got a Terratec Cinergy C PCI HD CI, and as often happens, I notice
problems right after the buy. In this case, it seems that CAM support is
not available.

While preparing to return the card, I wanted to check whether the support
is expected soon. However, I have not been able to learn what the issues
are from reading the archives. Can someone enlighten me?

As a matter of principle, I would prefer getting this to work, so if I can
help out with testing or even programming, do let me know.


Thanks.

  The userland callers are responsible for clearing the output buffers, so

  A driver should not assume that _userspace_ has cleared the buffers.  In
  some cases userspace is supposed to clear certain fields, but you shouldn't
  assume it.  AFAIK, for read-only ioctls there is no expectation at all that
  userspace will clear the buffer.
 
  Your patch is still right though, as now the videodev core will take care
  of this so individual drivers don't have to.
 
 Thanks for the feedback.  Admittedly I just took Mauro's word that the
 buffers need to be cleared without fully investigating what is
 responsible.  I guess I jumped to the conclusion that it was done in
 userland, when in fact it is done in the videodev core.  My mistake.

The cleanups are now done at videodev core, thanks to a Trent's patch. That's
why we don't need to do it inside the drivers anymore.

Thank you Pingchart.

So, V4L2_CID_DO_WHITE_BALANCE acts WB adjustment at every single time
it has issued when device is in manual WB mode like
V4L2_CID_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE? Now I get it.
But CID still missing for white balance presets like cloudy,
sunny, fluorescentand so on.
I think some sort of menu type CID could be useful to handle them,
because WB presets differ for each devices.

 I accidently realized today that I was using white balance control in wrong
 way.

 As far as I understand we've got

 V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE which activate auto white balance
 adjustment in runtime, V4L2_CID_DO_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE specifying
 absolute kelvin value

 I suppose you mean V4L2_CID_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE here.

 but can't get what V4L2_CID_DO_WHITE_BALANCE is for.

 I think after issuing V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE and
 V4L2_CID_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE,
 the white balance functionality works immediately. Isn't it right?

 What exactly is the button type V4L2_CID_DO_WHITE_BALANCE for? Because
 the V4L2 API document says that (the value is ignored). Does that
 mean that even we have issued V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE and
 V4L2_CID_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE, we can't see the white balance
 working at that moment?

 V4L2_CID_AUTO_WHITE_BALANCE to enables or disables automatic white balance
 adjustment. When automatic white balance is enabled the device adjusts the
 white balance continuously.

 V4L2_CID_WHITE_BALANCE_TEMPERATURE controls the white balance adjustment
 manually. The control is only effective when automatic white balance is
 disabled.

 V4L2_CID_DO_WHITE_BALANCE instructs the device to run the automatic white
 balance adjustment algorithm once and use the results for white balance
 correction. It only makes sense when automatic white balance is disabled.

 And one more thing. If I want to serve several white balance presets,
 like cloudy, dawn, sunny and so on, what should I do?
 I think it should be supported as menu type, but most of drivers are
 using white balance CID with integer type...then what should I do?
 Define preset names with kelvin number like this?

 #define WB_CLOUDY 8000

 Pretty confusing... anyone knows what should I do?

 Best regards,

 Laurent Pinchart

gspca/v4l - HP Webcam 1.3 - Device Request

2009-03-18 Thread svwindbird
Hope this is the correct place for requesting to add a device.
I'm also assuming that it's a gspca/VC032x driver problem, as it's counter-part
in windows in usbvm326.

Name: HP Webcam 1.3 Megapixal (USB)
Model: rd345aa
USB_id: 15b8:6001
Env: Suse 11.1 (Kernel 2.6.27 64bit)

Synopsis:
Runs with driver usbvm326 under windows.

BRIDGE_VC0323 = got a constant framebuffer overruns, then tried,
BRIDGE_VC0321 = ran, but picture out of sync and possibly b/w picture

This change allows bttv to use tvaudio for this device. Since this device

tvaudio driver. This makes it possible for tvaudio to detect which chip is
used. Originally the tda9875 was only available in the dedicated tda9875
driver, but that makes life very hard for bttv since loading tvaudio might
misdetect a tda9875 as a tda9874.

I do recommend for all new drivers to have a completely separate patch for the

No problem.  I did put the original move in the same changeset as the
change to the Makefile in an attempt to avoid bisect breakage, but
this obviously didn't take into account the first move which broke the
in-kernel build.

ISP Configuration for RAW Bayer sensor

2009-03-18 Thread Suresh Rao
Hi,

I am working with MT9V023 RAW sensor.  The data format from the sensor is

B G B G B G B G ...
G R G R G R G R ...
B G B G B G B G ...
G R G R G R G R   [ Format 1]

The sources I am using for ISP drivers are pulled on top of
linux-omap-2.6.29-rc7 from [git pull
git://git.gitorious.org/omap3camera/mainline.git v4l iommu omap3camera
base].

I want to use the ISP on the OMAP for doing interpolation and format
conversion to UYVY.  I am able to capture the images from the sensor,
however I notice that the color information is missing.  I dug the
sources and found that in the RAW capture mode ISP is getting
configured to input format

G R G R G R G R ...
B G B G B G B G ...
G R G R G R G R ...
B G B G B G B G ...  [Format 2]

Has anyone tried sensors with BGGR ( Format 1) on OMAP?

Can anyone give me some pointers or information on how to configure
ISP for BGGR (Format 1)

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Thanks,
Suresh

 Hi Guennadi,

  2. In a comment you write to v4l2_i2c_new_subdev():
  /* Load an i2c sub-device. It assumes that i2c_get_adapdata(adapter)
 returns the v4l2_device and that i2c_get_clientdata(client)
 returns the v4l2_subdev. */
  I don't think this is possible with generic SoC i2c adapters. On
  soc-camera systems v4l2 subdevices are connected to generic i2c busses,
  so, you cannot require, that i2c_get_adapdata(adapter) returns the
  v4l2_device.

 Good point, I'll look at this. I don't think it is difficult to change,
 although I will probably wait until several pending driver conversions
 are merged. Then I can fix this in one sweep.

The fix for this is simple: just add an extra struct v4l2_device to 
v4l2_i2c_new_(probed_)device and let those functions use that instead of 
calling i2c_get_adapdata(). It's the only place where it is currently used.

But I'm going to postpone implementing this until all outstanding conversion 
trees are merged. However, you can just do it yourself while working on the 
soc-camera conversion.

Hans

  Hi Mauro,
 
  Can you review my ~hverkuil/v4l-dvb-bttv2 tree?

 It would be a lot easier if you would provide patch descriptions.
   
Here it is:
   
- bttv: convert to v4l2_subdev.
  
   You aren't even trying.  I could easily write two pages on this
   patch.
 
  You are right. Mauro already knew about all this, but since I posted it
  to linux-media as well I should have given a more detailed explanation.

 The problem is that these changes are going into the kernel with NO
 documentation what so ever.  Which is I feel is completely unacceptable.

 What will happens is that 6 months to two years from now the number of
 people who use this code will increase by orders of magnitude as the
 distros switch their stock kernels to ones that have it.

 Module options that people have been using for years will disappear.  All
 the various distro's hardware auto-configuration programs will need to be
 changed.  The way the helper modules are loaded and unloaded has
 completely changed.  Someone's obscure card is going to break.  People
 with out of tree modifications for specialized hardware will find their
 patches no longer apply.

 So, two years from now, someone is going to wonder WTF happened to bttv
 and they will check the change log.  And they'll find convert to
 v4l2_subdev. Which tells them *nothing*!  YOU will wonder two years from
 now why you did something a certain way in the bttv driver, but since you
 didn't bother to document anything when you did it, you'll just gave to
 figure it out all over again.  Someone is going to want to fix a bug in
 the bttv driver years from now and they are going to look at the
 changelog to see how the driver works.  If they wonder what the MUXSEL()
 macro is for, my changelog entry describes how and why it's there.  If
 they wonder why the unused has_saa6588 field is there, your changelog
 entry tells them nothing at all about it.

 Proper documentation of patches isn't just for *before* they go into the
 kernel, out of consideration for developers who will review the patch and
 out respect to other developers who also need to understand what is going
 on in the code *we all* work on.  It is also there for after the patch is
 in the kernel, to provide documentation about how the driver works, why
 things are they way they are, the user visible affects of driver changes,
 and so on for users, developers who will look at the code in the future,
 and even to refresh the memory of the author of the patch themselves.

Trent, those changes do not go into the kernel. As the subject clearly 
stated I put it up for *review*, precisely for feedback like this. I'm 
redoing the bttv tree incorporating all the feedback, so it will be amply 
documented. No need to keep going on and on about it.

I know that I should do better in my commit comments and you are free to 
request improvements if they are unclear. But really, you've made you point 
loud and clear.

Hans

driver will be available at http://hg.jannau.net/hdpvr/ so I think it's
not worth adding the complete history to the kernel repo.

Re: [PATCH] gspca: add missing .type field check in VIDIOC_G_PARM

2009-03-18 Thread David Ellingsworth
2009/3/18 Németh Márton nm...@freemail.hu:
 From: Márton Németh nm...@freemail.hu

 The gspca webcam driver does not check the .type field of struct 
 v4l2_streamparm.
 This field is an input parameter for the driver according to V4L2 API 
 specification,
 revision 0.24 [1]. Add the missing check.

 The missing check was recognised by v4l-test 0.10 [2] together with 
 gspca_sunplus driver
 and with Trust 610 LCD pow...@m ZOOM webcam. This patch was verified also 
 with
 v4l-test 0.10.

Hi Janne,

Everything looks ok, except for this part of your code:

+static long hdpvr_ioctl(struct file *filp, unsigned int cmd, unsigned long arg)
+{
+   struct hdpvr_fh *fh = (struct hdpvr_fh *)filp-private_data;
+   struct hdpvr_device *dev = fh-dev;
+   int res;
+
+   if (video_is_unregistered(dev-video_dev))
+   return -EIO;
+
+   mutex_lock(dev-io_mutex);
+   switch (cmd) {
+   case VIDIOC_TRY_ENCODER_CMD:
+   case VIDIOC_ENCODER_CMD: {
+   struct v4l2_encoder_cmd *enc = (struct v4l2_encoder_cmd *)arg;
+   int try = cmd == VIDIOC_TRY_ENCODER_CMD;
+
+   memset(enc-raw, 0, sizeof(enc-raw));
+   switch (enc-cmd) {
+   case V4L2_ENC_CMD_START:
+   enc-flags = 0;
+   if (try)
+   return 0;
+   res = hdpvr_start_streaming(dev);
+   break;
+   case V4L2_ENC_CMD_STOP:
+   if (try)
+   return 0;
+   res = hdpvr_stop_streaming(dev);
+   break;
+   default:
+   v4l2_dbg(MSG_INFO, hdpvr_debug, dev-video_dev,
+Unsupported encoder cmd %d\n, enc-cmd);
+   return -EINVAL;
+   }
+   break;
+   }
+   default:
+   res = video_ioctl2(filp, cmd, arg);
+   }
+   mutex_unlock(dev-io_mutex);
+   return res;
+}

Why haven't you just used the two video_ioctl2 handlers for vidioc_encoder_cmd
and vidioc_try_encoder_cmd, like ivtv and cx18, instead of the above code?

Cheers,
Mauro

They were missing in the video_ioctl2 handler then I wrote the code.
I forgot to check if that's still the case. I'll change it in a minute.

Re: [linux-dvb] FusionHDTV7 and v4l causes kernel panic

 I've added
 console=ttyS0,115200 console=tty0
 to the kernel command line options and with out the console=tty0 part the 
 dump no longer shows on the monitor, so redirect seems to
 work but loging the serial port on a second computer gets nothing. I tested 
 the connection with echo and that worked but the kernel
 dump won't go out the port.  The last 2 lines of the screen are:
 
 EIP: [c012a8c6] queue_work+0x3/0x68 SS:ESP 0068:f778dd24
 Kernel panic - not syncing: Fatal exception in interrupt

Hmm.  The only thing in the cx23885 driver that tries to schedule work,
and thus the only thing that could possibly pass in a bad argument, is
the netup_ci_slot_status() function.  It gets called when an IRQ comes
in indicating a GPIO[01] event, and the driver thinks the card is a
NetUp Dual DVB-S2 CI card.

That's consistent with the fatal exception in interrupt, but without
the backtrace, one can't be completely sure this call to queue work was
initiated by the cx23885 driver and a problem with cx23885 data
structures.  (But it is the most likely scenario, IMO)
I just can't see how netup_ci_slot_status() get's called for your card.


 Any way to get the dump to go out the serial port?

Does 9600 baud help? (Just a guess.)

Regards,
Andy

I looked at the logs and the ones that are text had nothing about it.
 
  Digital camera or pencil and paper will be least complex way to capture
