DM8148 capture QVGA video without TVP-xxx encoder

Hi Marat,

I will notify our DVR RDK expert for help.

Regards,
Pavel

Hi Pavel, thanX alot for your reply. I'll wait.....

Please, somebody....

I'll tried to modify mcfw to perform QVGA capture:

1) in file "hdvpss/packages/ti/psp/vps/fvid2.h" add to end of enumerator "FVID2_Standard" new field: "FVID2_QVGA_PROGRESSIVE_60"
2) in file "dvr_rdk/mcfw/interfaces/link_api/system_const.h" add to enf of enumerator "SYSTEM_Standard" new field: "SYSTEM_QVGA_PROGRESSIVE_60"
3) in file "dvr_rdk/mcfw/src_bios6/links_m3vpss/capture/captureLink_drv.c" add to function "CaptureLink_drvCreateInst" into standard switch-case code fragmet as is following:

            case FVID2_QVGA_PROGRESSIVE_60:
                inScanFormat = FVID2_SF_PROGRESSIVE;
  pVipCreateArgs->videoIfMode = VPS_CAPT_VIDEO_IF_MODE_16BIT;
                {
                    pInst->maxWidth = 320;
                    pInst->maxHeight = 240;
                }
                inWidth = 320;
                inHeight = 240;
            break;
           
            default: // 1080p by default
                inScanFormat = FVID2_SF_PROGRESSIVE;
                {
                    pInst->maxWidth = 1920;
                    pInst->maxHeight = 1080;
                }
                inWidth = 1920;
                inHeight = 1080;

                break;

4) configure in my application use-case capture parameter:
     pCaptureInstPrm->standard = SYSTEM_QVGA_PROGRESSIVE_60;
         pCaptureInstPrm->vipInstId = SYSTEM_CAPTURE_INST_VIP0_PORTA;

5) rebuild all framework by sys_all and run application.

I saW that capture isn't started, number of buffers dequeued from capture driver always equal to zero:

Please let me know what is additional actionitem I need to do for proper capture of QVGA (320x240 pixels) resolution in 16 bits mode from VIP?

unfortunately I havn't HDVPSS register description (because this require NDA agreement with TI), but I would be very grateful if anyone can explain me
what is "List Post Count" in attached above log? This value always incremented in time. And what is "VPDMA: LIST_BUSY"?
 
I would be very grateful for any help.
