The driver is located under drivers/staging/media/starfive/ +camss. + +The driver implements V4L2, Media controller and v4l2_subdev interfaces. Camera +sensor using V4L2 subdev interface in the kernel is supported. + +The driver has been successfully used on the Gstreamer 1.18.5 with v4l2src +plugin. + + +Starfive Camera Subsystem hardware +---------------------------------- + +The Starfive Camera Subsystem hardware consists of:: + + |\ +---------------+ +-----------+ + +----------+ | \ | | | | + | | | | | | | | + | MIPI |----->| |----->| ISP |----->| | + | | | | | | | | + +----------+ | | | | | Memory | + |MUX| +---------------+ | Interface | + +----------+ | | | | + | | | |---------------------------->| | + | Parallel |----->| | | | + | | | | | | + +----------+ | / | | + |/ +-----------+ + +- MIPI: The MIPI interface, receiving data from a MIPI CSI-2 camera sensor. + +- Parallel: The parallel interface, receiving data from a parallel sensor. + +- ISP: The ISP, processing raw Bayer data from an image sensor and producing + YUV frames. + + +Topology +-------- + +The media controller pipeline graph is as follows: + +.. _starfive_camss_graph: + +.. kernel-figure:: starfive_camss_graph.dot + :alt: starfive_camss_graph.dot + :align: center + +The driver has 2 video devices: + +- capture_raw: The capture device, capturing image data directly from a sensor. +- capture_yuv: The capture device, capturing YUV frame data processed by the + ISP module + +The driver has 3 subdevices: + +- stf_isp: is responsible for all the isp operations, outputs YUV frames. +- cdns_csi2rx: a CSI-2 bridge supporting up to 4 CSI lanes in input, and 4 + different pixel streams in output. +- imx219: an image sensor, image data is sent through MIPI CSI-2. |
