What does DM365IPNC use for the capture driver ?

Hello.

 

I am analyzing the capture part of DM365IPNC application . This is AV_server directory.

Now, I cannot find the source code that defines (or uses) the capture device file .

 

What does DM365IPNC use for the capture driver ?

Where is the source code that defines the capture device file ?

 

I looked for the video directory (IPNetCam/ipnc/av_capture/application/ipnc/multimedia/av_server/src/video)

and drv directory (IPNetCam/ipnc/av_capture/framework/drv).

    Hi,

    For the capture drivers on IPNC, please refer to the following list of source code files:

    1.  framework/drv/usermod/src/drv_capture.c

    2. framework/drv/usermod/src/drv_resz.c

    Finally, these drivers call the lower level CSL layer for the individual components like ISIF (ccdc), IPIPE, IPIPEIF, RSZ, LDC etc.

    The application code which uses the capture driver can be seen in application/ipnc/multimedia/av_server/src/video/videoCaptureThr.c

    Hope this helps.

    Hi, thanks for your replay.

     

    What is the capture driver described in menuconfig ?

    What name is the device file in OS ( /dev/*** ) ? /dev/csl0 ?

    I do not understand capture driver's substance.

    Hi,

    Please refer to csl_sysLinuxDrv.c in av_capture/framework/csl/kermod/src/system.

    As i had mentioned earlier, the driver architecture is little different from the V4L2 interface and we have driver for each individual component of the VPFE. In csl_soc.h, you can find the mapping of each /dev/csl[0-9] devices.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi, Anshuman.

    Thanks for your replay.

     

    I did not understand the flow of the capture processing.

    I'm sorry.

     

    The image sensor is controlled by individual component of the VPFE (IPIPE, H3A, CCDC). 

    V4l2 and DRV (wrapper library) is VPFE interface.  OK ?

    Hi,

    Have you already referred to the AV Server Design Guide that exist in the IPNC Ref Design release documents?

    Hi,

     Thank you.

     

    I saw IPNetCam Reference Design on DM365 AV Server Design Guide (P8 Software Architecture, P13 Data Flow)

    and LSP 2.10 DaVinci Linux Drivers  (P42 Figure 2-4. DM365 Video Driver Architecture).

    Figure 2-4 drivers architecture use V4l2 frame work (This is document for DM365EVM).

    P8 Software Architecture is not seen V4l2.

    IPNC uses the DRV rapper library instead of V4l2..(I thought that DRV low layer used V4l2. But DRV uses VPFE driver directly without V4l2 ).
