| Common bindings for video receiver and transmitter interfaces |
| |
| General concept |
| --------------- |
| |
| Video data pipelines usually consist of external devices, e.g. camera sensors, |
| controlled over an I2C, SPI or UART bus, and SoC internal IP blocks, including |
| video DMA engines and video data processors. |
| |
| SoC internal blocks are described by DT nodes, placed similarly to other SoC |
| blocks. External devices are represented as child nodes of their respective |
| bus controller nodes, e.g. I2C. |
| |
| Data interfaces on all video devices are described by their child 'port' nodes. |
| Configuration of a port depends on other devices participating in the data |
| transfer and is described by 'endpoint' subnodes. |
| |
| device { |
| ... |
| ports { |
| #address-cells = <1>; |
| #size-cells = <0>; |
| |
| port@0 { |
| ... |
| endpoint@0 { ... }; |
| endpoint@1 { ... }; |
| }; |
| port@1 { ... }; |
| }; |
| }; |
| |
| If a port can be configured to work with more than one remote device on the same |
| bus, an 'endpoint' child node must be provided for each of them. If more than |
| one port is present in a device node or there is more than one endpoint at a |
| port, or port node needs to be associated with a selected hardware interface, |
| a common scheme using '#address-cells', '#size-cells' and 'reg' properties is |
| used. |
| |
| All 'port' nodes can be grouped under optional 'ports' node, which allows to |
| specify #address-cells, #size-cells properties independently for the 'port' |
| and 'endpoint' nodes and any child device nodes a device might have. |
| |
| Two 'endpoint' nodes are linked with each other through their 'remote-endpoint' |
| phandles. An endpoint subnode of a device contains all properties needed for |
| configuration of this device for data exchange with other device. In most |
| cases properties at the peer 'endpoint' nodes will be identical, however they |
| might need to be different when there is any signal modifications on the bus |
| between two devices, e.g. there are logic signal inverters on the lines. |
| |
| It is allowed for multiple endpoints at a port to be active simultaneously, |
| where supported by a device. For example, in case where a data interface of |
| a device is partitioned into multiple data busses, e.g. 16-bit input port |
| divided into two separate ITU-R BT.656 8-bit busses. In such case bus-width |
| and data-shift properties can be used to assign physical data lines to each |
| endpoint node (logical bus). |
| |
| Documenting bindings for devices |
| -------------------------------- |
| |
| All required and optional bindings the device supports shall be explicitly |
| documented in device DT binding documentation. This also includes port and |
| endpoint nodes for the device, including unit-addresses and reg properties where |
| relevant. |
| |
| Please also see Documentation/devicetree/bindings/graph.txt . |
| |
| Required properties |
| ------------------- |
| |
| If there is more than one 'port' or more than one 'endpoint' node or 'reg' |
| property is present in port and/or endpoint nodes the following properties |
| are required in a relevant parent node: |
| |
| - #address-cells : number of cells required to define port/endpoint |
| identifier, should be 1. |
| - #size-cells : should be zero. |
| |
| |
| Optional properties |
| ------------------- |
| |
| - flash-leds: An array of phandles, each referring to a flash LED, a sub-node |
| of the LED driver device node. |
| |
| - lens-focus: A phandle to the node of the focus lens controller. |
| |
| |
| Optional endpoint properties |
| ---------------------------- |
| |
| - remote-endpoint: phandle to an 'endpoint' subnode of a remote device node. |
| - slave-mode: a boolean property indicating that the link is run in slave mode. |
| The default when this property is not specified is master mode. In the slave |
| mode horizontal and vertical synchronization signals are provided to the |
| slave device (data source) by the master device (data sink). In the master |
| mode the data source device is also the source of the synchronization signals. |
| - bus-type: data bus type. Possible values are: |
| 0 - autodetect based on other properties (MIPI CSI-2 D-PHY, parallel or Bt656) |
| 1 - MIPI CSI-2 C-PHY |
| 2 - MIPI CSI1 |
| 3 - CCP2 |
| - bus-width: number of data lines actively used, valid for the parallel busses. |
| - data-shift: on the parallel data busses, if bus-width is used to specify the |
| number of data lines, data-shift can be used to specify which data lines are |
| used, e.g. "bus-width=<8>; data-shift=<2>;" means, that lines 9:2 are used. |
| - hsync-active: active state of the HSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively. |
| - vsync-active: active state of the VSYNC signal, 0/1 for LOW/HIGH respectively. |
| Note, that if HSYNC and VSYNC polarities are not specified, embedded |
| synchronization may be required, where supported. |
| - data-active: similar to HSYNC and VSYNC, specifies data line polarity. |
| - field-even-active: field signal level during the even field data transmission. |
| - pclk-sample: sample data on rising (1) or falling (0) edge of the pixel clock |
| signal. |
| - sync-on-green-active: active state of Sync-on-green (SoG) signal, 0/1 for |
| LOW/HIGH respectively. |
| - data-lanes: an array of physical data lane indexes. Position of an entry |
| determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates |
| physical lane, e.g. for 2-lane MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have |
| "data-lanes = <1 2>;", assuming the clock lane is on hardware lane 0. |
| If the hardware does not support lane reordering, monotonically |
| incremented values shall be used from 0 or 1 onwards, depending on |
| whether or not there is also a clock lane. This property is valid for |
| serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2). |
| - clock-lanes: an array of physical clock lane indexes. Position of an entry |
| determines the logical lane number, while the value of an entry indicates |
| physical lane, e.g. for a MIPI CSI-2 bus we could have "clock-lanes = <0>;", |
| which places the clock lane on hardware lane 0. This property is valid for |
| serial busses only (e.g. MIPI CSI-2). Note that for the MIPI CSI-2 bus this |
| array contains only one entry. |
| - clock-noncontinuous: a boolean property to allow MIPI CSI-2 non-continuous |
| clock mode. |
| - link-frequencies: Allowed data bus frequencies. For MIPI CSI-2, for |
| instance, this is the actual frequency of the bus, not bits per clock per |
| lane value. An array of 64-bit unsigned integers. |
| - lane-polarities: an array of polarities of the lanes starting from the clock |
| lane and followed by the data lanes in the same order as in data-lanes. |
| Valid values are 0 (normal) and 1 (inverted). The length of the array |
| should be the combined length of data-lanes and clock-lanes properties. |
| If the lane-polarities property is omitted, the value must be interpreted |
| as 0 (normal). This property is valid for serial busses only. |
| - strobe: Whether the clock signal is used as clock (0) or strobe (1). Used |
| with CCP2, for instance. |
| |
| Example |
| ------- |
| |
| The example snippet below describes two data pipelines. ov772x and imx074 are |
| camera sensors with a parallel and serial (MIPI CSI-2) video bus respectively. |
| Both sensors are on the I2C control bus corresponding to the i2c0 controller |
| node. ov772x sensor is linked directly to the ceu0 video host interface. |
| imx074 is linked to ceu0 through the MIPI CSI-2 receiver (csi2). ceu0 has a |
| (single) DMA engine writing captured data to memory. ceu0 node has a single |
| 'port' node which may indicate that at any time only one of the following data |
| pipelines can be active: ov772x -> ceu0 or imx074 -> csi2 -> ceu0. |
