From: Oleksandr Andrushchenko <oleksandr_andrushche...@epam.com> Hello!
At the moment Xen [1] already supports some virtual multimedia features [2] such as virtual display, sound. It supports keyboards, pointers and multi-touch devices all allowing Xen to be used in automotive appliances, In-Vehicle Infotainment (IVI) systems and many more. Frontend implementation is available at [3] and the corresponding backend at [4]. These are work in progress, but frontend already passes v4l2-compliance test for V4L2 drivers. libxl changes are available at [5]. This work adds a new Xen para-virtualized protocol for a virtual camera device which extends multimedia capabilities of Xen even farther: video conferencing, IVI, high definition maps etc. The initial goal is to support most needed functionality with the final idea to make it possible to extend the protocol if need be: 1. Provide means for base virtual device configuration: - pixel formats - resolutions - frame rates 2. Support basic camera controls: - contrast - brightness - hue - saturation 3. Support streaming control I would like to thank Hans Verkuil <hverk...@xs4all.nl> for valuable comments and help. Thank you, Oleksandr Andrushchenko Changes since v2: ================= 1. Add "max-buffers" frontend configuration entry, e.g. the maximum number of camera buffers a frontend may use. 2. Add big-endian pixel-format support: - "formats" configuration string length changed from 4 to 7 octets, so we can also manage BE pixel-formats - add corresponding comments to FOURCC mappings description 3. New commands added to the protocol and documented: - XENCAMERA_OP_CONFIG_VALIDATE - XENCAMERA_OP_FRAME_RATE_SET - XENCAMERA_OP_BUF_GET_LAYOUT 4.-Add defaults for colorspace, xfer, ycbcr_enc and quantization 5. Remove XENCAMERA_EVT_CONFIG_CHANGE event 6. Move plane offsets to XENCAMERA_OP_BUF_REQUEST as offsets required for the frontend might not be known at the configuration time 7. Clean up and address comments to v2 of the protocol Changes since v1: ================= 1. Added XenStore entries: - frame-rates 2. Do not require the FOURCC code in XenStore to be upper case only 3. Added/changed command set: - configuration get/set - buffer queue/dequeue - control get 4. Added control flags, e.g. read-only etc. 5. Added colorspace configuration support, relevant constants 6. Added events: - configuration change - control change 7. Changed control values to 64-bit 8. Added sequence number to frame avail event 9.
