31 /* general description */
32 /* =================== */
34 /* Should ease the (re-)usage of drivers supporting cards with (different)
35 video codecs. The codecs register to this module their functionality,
36 and the processors (masters) can attach to them if they fit.
38 The codecs are typically have a "strong" binding to their master - so I
39 don't think it makes sense to have a full blown interfacing as with e.g.
40 i2c. If you have an other opinion, let's discuss & implement it :-)))
44 The slave has just to setup the videocodec structure and use two functions:
45 videocodec_register(codecdata);
46 videocodec_unregister(codecdata);
47 The best is just calling them at module (de-)initialisation.
49 The master sets up the structure videocodec_master and calls:
50 codecdata=videocodec_attach(master_codecdata);
51 videocodec_detach(codecdata);
53 The slave is called during attach/detach via functions setup previously
54 during register. At that time, the master_data pointer is set up
55 and the slave can access any io registers of the master device (in the case
56 the slave is bound to it). Otherwise it doesn't need this functions and
57 therfor they may not be initialized.
59 The other fuctions are just for convenience, as they are for sure used by
60 most/all of the codecs. The last ones may be ommited, too.
62 See the structure declaration below for more information and which data has
63 to be set up for the master and the slave.
65 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------
66 The master should have "knowledge" of the slave and vice versa. So the data
67 structures sent to/from slave via set_data/get_data set_image/get_image are
68 device dependent and vary between MJPEG/MPEG/WAVELET/... devices. (!!!!)

74 /* description of the videocodec_io structure */
75 /* ========================================== */
78 ==== master setup ====
79 name -> name of the device structure for reference and debugging
80 master_data -> data ref. for the master (e.g. the zr36055,57,67)
81 readreg -> ref. to read-fn from register (setup by master, used by slave)
82 writereg -> ref. to write-fn to register (setup by master, used by slave)
83 this two functions do the lowlevel I/O job
85 ==== slave functionality setup ====
86 slave_data -> data ref. for the slave (e.g. the zr36050,60)
87 check -> fn-ref. checks availability of an device, returns -EIO on failure or
89 this makes espcecially sense if a driver module supports more than
90 one codec which may be quite similar to access, nevertheless it
91 is good for a first functionality check
93 -- main functions you always need for compression/decompression --
95 set_mode -> this fn-ref. resets the entire codec, and sets up the mode
96 with the last defined norm/size (or device default if not
97 available) - it returns 0 if the mode is possible
98 set_size -> this fn-ref. sets the norm and image size for
99 compression/decompression (returns 0 on success)
100 the norm param is defined in videodev.h (VIDEO_MODE_*)
102 additional setup may be available, too - but the codec should work with
103 some default values even without this
105 set_data -> sets device-specific data (tables, quality etc.)
106 get_data -> query device-specific data (tables, quality etc.)
108 if the device delivers interrupts, they may be setup/handled here
109 setup_interrupt -> codec irq setup (not needed for 36050/60)
110 handle_interrupt -> codec irq handling (not needed for 36050/60)
112 if the device delivers pictures, they may be handled here
113 put_image -> puts image data to the codec (not needed for 36050/60)
114 get_image -> gets image data from the codec (not needed for 36050/60)
115 the calls include frame numbers and flags (even/odd/...)
116 if needed and a flag which allows blocking until its ready
124 Currently there is only a information display planned, as the layer
125 is not visible for the user space at all.
127 Information is available via procfs. The current entry is "/proc/videocodecs"
128 but it makes sense to "hide" it in the /proc/video tree of v4l(2) --TODO--.
130 A example for such an output is:
132 <S>lave or attached <M>aster name type flags magic (connected as)
133 S zr36050 0002 0000d001 00000000 (TEMPLATE)
134 M zr36055[0] 0001 0000c001 00000000 (zr36050[0])
135 M zr36055[1] 0001 0000c001 00000000 (zr36050[1])
