11Introduction
12============
13
14This file documents the Intel IPU6 (6th generation Image Processing Unit)
15Input System (MIPI CSI2 receiver) drivers located under
16drivers/media/pci/intel/ipu6.
17
18The Intel IPU6 can be found in certain Intel SoCs but not in all SKUs:
19
20* Tiger Lake
21* Jasper Lake
22* Alder Lake
23* Raptor Lake
24* Meteor Lake
25
26Intel IPU6 is made up of two components - Input System (ISYS) and Processing
27System (PSYS).
28
29The Input System mainly works as MIPI CSI-2 receiver which receives and
30processes the image data from the sensors and outputs the frames to memory.
31
32There are 2 driver modules - intel-ipu6 and intel-ipu6-isys. intel-ipu6 is an
33IPU6 common driver which does PCI configuration, firmware loading and parsing,
34firmware authentication, DMA mapping and IPU-MMU (internal Memory mapping Unit)
35configuration. intel_ipu6_isys implements V4L2, Media Controller and V4L2
36sub-device interfaces. The IPU6 ISYS driver supports camera sensors connected
37to the IPU6 ISYS through V4L2 sub-device sensor drivers.
38
39.. Note:: See Documentation/driver-api/media/drivers/ipu6.rst for more
40	  information about the IPU6 hardware.
41
42Input system driver
43===================
44
45The Input System driver mainly configures CSI-2 D-PHY, constructs the firmware
46stream configuration, sends commands to firmware, gets response from hardware
47and firmware and then returns buffers to user.  The ISYS is represented as
48several V4L2 sub-devices as well as video nodes.

61Capturing frames with IPU6 ISYS
62-------------------------------
63
64IPU6 ISYS is used to capture frames from the camera sensors connected to the
65CSI2 ports. The supported input formats of ISYS are listed in table below:

82Examples
83~~~~~~~~
84
85Here is an example of IPU6 ISYS raw capture on Dell XPS 9315 laptop. On this
86machine, ov01a10 sensor is connected to IPU ISYS CSI-2 port 2, which can
87generate images at sBGGR10 with resolution 1280x800.
88
89Using the media controller APIs, we can configure ov01a10 sensor by
90media-ctl [#f1]_ and yavta [#f2]_ to transmit frames to IPU6 ISYS.
91
92.. code-block:: none
93
94    # Example 1 capture frame from ov01a10 camera sensor
95    # This example assumes /dev/media0 as the IPU ISYS media device
96    export MDEV=/dev/media0
97
98    # Establish the link for the media devices using media-ctl
99    media-ctl -d $MDEV -l "\"ov01a10 3-0036\":0 -> \"Intel IPU6 CSI2 2\":0[1]"
100
101    # Set the format for the media devices
102    media-ctl -d $MDEV -V "ov01a10:0 [fmt:SBGGR10/1280x800]"
103    media-ctl -d $MDEV -V "Intel IPU6 CSI2 2:0 [fmt:SBGGR10/1280x800]"
104    media-ctl -d $MDEV -V "Intel IPU6 CSI2 2:1 [fmt:SBGGR10/1280x800]"
105
106Once the media pipeline is configured, desired sensor specific settings
107(such as exposure and gain settings) can be set, using the yavta tool.
108
109e.g
110
111.. code-block:: none
112
113    # and that ov01a10 sensor is connected to i2c bus 3 with address 0x36
114    export SDEV=$(media-ctl -d $MDEV -e "ov01a10 3-0036")
115
116    yavta -w 0x009e0903 400 $SDEV
117    yavta -w 0x009e0913 1000 $SDEV
118    yavta -w 0x009e0911 2000 $SDEV
119
120Once the desired sensor settings are set, frame captures can be done as below.
121
122e.g
123
124.. code-block:: none
125
126    yavta --data-prefix -u -c10 -n5 -I -s 1280x800 --file=/tmp/frame-#.bin \
127            -f SBGGR10 $(media-ctl -d $MDEV -e "Intel IPU6 ISYS Capture 0")
128
129With the above command, 10 frames are captured at 1280x800 resolution with
130sBGGR10 format. The captured frames are available as /tmp/frame-#.bin files.
131
132Here is another example of IPU6 ISYS RAW and metadata capture from camera
133sensor ov2740 on Lenovo X1 Yoga laptop.
134
135.. code-block:: none
136
137    media-ctl -l "\"ov2740 14-0036\":0 -> \"Intel IPU6 CSI2 1\":0[1]"
138    media-ctl -l "\"Intel IPU6 CSI2 1\":1 -> \"Intel IPU6 ISYS Capture 0\":0[1]"
139    media-ctl -l "\"Intel IPU6 CSI2 1\":2 -> \"Intel IPU6 ISYS Capture 1\":0[1]"
140
141    # set routing
142    media-ctl -R "\"Intel IPU6 CSI2 1\" [0/0->1/0[1],0/1->2/1[1]]"
143
144    media-ctl -V "\"Intel IPU6 CSI2 1\":0/0 [fmt:SGRBG10/1932x1092]"
145    media-ctl -V "\"Intel IPU6 CSI2 1\":0/1 [fmt:GENERIC_8/97x1]"
146    media-ctl -V "\"Intel IPU6 CSI2 1\":1/0 [fmt:SGRBG10/1932x1092]"
147    media-ctl -V "\"Intel IPU6 CSI2 1\":2/1 [fmt:GENERIC_8/97x1]"
148
149    CAPTURE_DEV=$(media-ctl -e "Intel IPU6 ISYS Capture 0")
150    ./yavta --data-prefix -c100 -n5 -I -s1932x1092 --file=/tmp/frame-#.bin \
151        -f SGRBG10 ${CAPTURE_DEV}
152
153    CAPTURE_META=$(media-ctl -e "Intel IPU6 ISYS Capture 1")
154    ./yavta --data-prefix -c100 -n5 -I -s97x1 -B meta-capture \
155        --file=/tmp/meta-#.bin -f GENERIC_8 ${CAPTURE_META}
