There have been many bugfixes and improvements in the omap3isp driver since it was merged to mainline in this area. I don't know what TI has backported to their own kernel; it could be something is missing there. The fact the ABI and API are incompatible with what's now in mainline suggests that quite a lot may be missing. > That's, what one could interpret from this TI wiki page. > http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/UserGuideOmap35xCaptureDriver_PSP_04.02.00.07#Architecture > > Under the block diagram, there's a note saying, that only the path with > the continuous line has been validated.

Good to hear that... I guess the best starting point to get things working would definitely be the mainline kernel. The rest is at best unsupported. -- Kind regards, Sakari Ailus sakari.ai...@iki.fi -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
Re: How to configure resizer in ISP pipeline?
Hi Sakari, thanks for helping. My "sensor" (TVP5146) already provides YUV data, so I can skip the previewer. I tried setting the input and output pad of the resizer subdevice to incoming resolution (input pad) and desired resolution (output pad). For example: 720x576 --> 352x288. But it didn't work out quite well. How did it not work quite well? :) Not sure, if I recall all the details. I haven't done much in this area for a few weeks now. Currently, I actually can configure the resizer, but then VIDIOC_STREAMON fails with EINVAL when I configure the devnode. Don't know why. I do connect the resizer source to the resizer output (devnode) and then capture from there. I think it is /dev/video6. If I leave the resizer out and connect the ccdc source to the ccdc output (/dev/video2), capturing works just fine. One reason could be, that the resizer isn't supported right now. (You remember, I have to use Technexion's TI kernel 2.6.37 with its exotic ISP driver. ;-) ) That's, what one could interpret from this TI wiki page. http://processors.wiki.ti.com/index.php/UserGuideOmap35xCaptureDriver_PSP_04.02.00.07#Architecture Under the block diagram, there's a note saying, that only the path with the continuous line has been validated. So, the dotted lines are ISP paths that might not have been validated ("supported"?) yet. (I might add, that all this is part of my master thesis and resizing would be a nice-to-have goal, but not a must-have. So I can live with it if it won't work.) Can someone explain how one properly configures the resizer in an ISP pipeline (with Media Controller API) ? I spend some hours researching, but this topic seems to be a well guarded secret... There's nothing special about it. Really. The resizing factor is chosen by setting the media bus format on the source pad to the desired size. Yes, that is what I figured out eventually. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-media" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html

How to configure resizer in ISP pipeline?
Hello, using Media Controller API, I can successfully configure a simple ISP pipeline on an OMAP3530 and capture video data. Now I want to include the resizer. So the pipeline would look like this (where MEM would be the devnode corresponding to "resizer output"): Sensor --> CCDC --> Resizer --> MEM My "sensor" (TVP5146) already provides YUV data, so I can skip the previewer. I tried setting the input and output pad of the resizer subdevice to incoming resolution (input pad) and desired resolution (output pad). For example: 720x576 --> 352x288. But it didn't work out quite well. Can someone explain how one properly configures the resizer in an ISP pipeline (with Media Controller API) ? I spend some hours researching, but this topic seems to be a well guarded secret...
