Functional partitioning
|
||||
-----------------------
|
||||
|
||||
Consists of the following (in the same order as the list under file
|
||||
partitioning):-
|
||||
|
||||
1. V4L2 display driver
|
||||
Implements creation of video2 and video3 device nodes and
|
||||
provides v4l2 device interface to manage VID0 and VID1 layers.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Display controller
|
||||
Loads up VENC, OSD and external encoders such as ths8200. It provides
|
||||
a set of API calls to V4L2 drivers to set the output/standards
|
||||
in the VENC or external sub devices. It also provides
|
||||
a device object to access the services from OSD subdevice
|
||||
using sub device ops. The connection of external encoders to VENC LCD
|
||||
controller port is done at init time based on default output and standard
|
||||
selection or at run time when application change the output through
|
||||
V4L2 IOCTLs.
|
||||
|
||||
When connected to an external encoder, vpbe controller is also responsible
|
||||
for setting up the interface between VENC and external encoders based on
|
||||
board specific settings (specified in board-xxx-evm.c). This allows
|
||||
interfacing external encoders such as ths8200. The setup_if_config()
|
||||
is implemented for this as well as configure_venc() (part of the next patch)
|
||||
API to set timings in VENC for a specific display resolution. As of this
|
||||
patch series, the interconnection and enabling and setting of the external
|
||||
encoders is not present, and would be a part of the next patch series.
|
||||
|
||||
3. VENC subdevice module
|
||||
Responsible for setting outputs provided through internal DACs and also
|
||||
setting timings at LCD controller port when external encoders are connected
|
||||
at the port or LCD panel timings required. When external encoder/LCD panel
|
||||
is connected, the timings for a specific standard/preset is retrieved from
|
||||
the board specific table and the values are used to set the timings in
|
||||
venc using non-standard timing mode.
|
||||
|
||||
Support LCD Panel displays using the VENC. For example to support a Logic
|
||||
PD display, it requires setting up the LCD controller port with a set of
|
||||
timings for the resolution supported and setting the dot clock. So we could
|
||||
add the available outputs as a board specific entry (i.e add the "LogicPD"
|
||||
output name to board-xxx-evm.c). A table of timings for various LCDs
|
||||
supported can be maintained in the board specific setup file to support
|
||||
various LCD displays.As of this patch a basic driver is present, and this
|
||||
support for external encoders and displays forms a part of the next
|
||||
patch series.
|
||||
|
||||
4. OSD module
|
||||
OSD module implements all OSD layer management and hardware specific
|
||||
features. The VPBE module interacts with the OSD for enabling and
|
||||
disabling appropriate features of the OSD.
|
||||
|
||||
Current status:-
|
||||
|
||||
A fully functional working version of the V4L2 driver is available. This
|
||||
driver has been tested with NTSC and PAL standards and buffer streaming.
|
||||
|
||||
Following are TBDs.
|
||||
|
||||
vpbe display controller
|
||||
- Add support for external encoders.
|
||||
- add support for selecting external encoder as default at probe time.
|
||||
|
||||
vpbe venc sub device
|
||||
- add timings for supporting ths8200
|
||||
- add support for LogicPD LCD.
|
||||
|
||||
FB drivers
|
||||
- Add support for fbdev drivers.- Ready and part of subsequent patches.
