9Raspberry Pi PiSP Back End configuration format
10===============================================
11
12The Raspberry Pi PiSP Back End memory-to-memory image signal processor is
13configured by userspace by providing a buffer of configuration parameters
14to the `pispbe-config` output video device node using the
15:c:type:`v4l2_meta_format` interface.
16
17The PiSP Back End processes images in tiles, and its configuration requires
18specifying two different sets of parameters by populating the members of
19:c:type:`pisp_be_tiles_config` defined in the ``pisp_be_config.h`` header file.
20
21The `Raspberry Pi PiSP technical specification
22<https://datasheets.raspberrypi.com/camera/raspberry-pi-image-signal-processor-specification.pdf>`_
23provide detailed description of the ISP back end configuration and programming
24model.
25
26Global configuration data
27-------------------------
28
29The global configuration data describe how the pixels in a particular image are
30to be processed and is therefore shared across all the tiles of the image. So
31for example, LSC (Lens Shading Correction) or Denoise parameters would be common
32across all tiles from the same frame.
33
34Global configuration data are passed to the ISP by populating the member of
35:c:type:`pisp_be_config`.
36
37Tile parameters
38---------------
39
40As the ISP processes images in tiles, each set of tiles parameters describe how
41a single tile in an image is going to be processed. A single set of tile
42parameters consist of 160 bytes of data and to process a batch of tiles several
43sets of tiles parameters are required.
44
45Tiles parameters are passed to the ISP by populating the member of
46``pisp_tile`` and the ``num_tiles`` fields of :c:type:`pisp_be_tiles_config`.

51This section describes the data types exposed to userspace by the Raspberry Pi
52PiSP Back End. The section is informative only, for a detailed description of
53each field refer to the `Raspberry Pi PiSP technical specification
