[media] doc-rst: Move v4l docs to media/v4l-drivers

2016-07-18T01:41:07+00:00

Move V4L documentation files to media/v4l-drivers. Those aren't core stuff, so they don't fit at the kAPI document. Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (11613): pxa_camera: Documentation of the FSM

2009-06-16T21:20:44+00:00

After DMA redesign, the pxa_camera dynamic behaviour should be documented so that future contributors understand how it works, and improve it. Signed-off-by: Robert Jarzmik Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab

V4L/DVB (11321): pxa_camera: Redesign DMA handling

2009-04-07T00:43:45+00:00

The DMA transfers in pxa_camera showed some weaknesses in multiple queued buffers context : - poll/select problem The bug shows up with capture_example tool from v4l2 hg tree. The process just "stalls" on a "select timeout". - multiple buffers DMA starting When multiple buffers were queued, the DMA channels were always started right away. This is not optimal, as a special case appears when the first EOF was not yet reached, and the DMA channels were prematurely started. - Maintainability DMA code was a bit obfuscated. Rationalize the code to be easily maintainable by anyone. - DMA hot chaining DMA is not stopped anymore to queue a buffer, the buffer is queued with DMA running. As a tribute, a corner case exists where chaining happens while DMA finishes the chain, and the capture is restarted to deal with the missed link buffer. This patch attemps to address these issues / improvements. create mode 100644 Documentation/video4linux/pxa_camera.txt Signed-off-by: Robert Jarzmik Signed-off-by: Guennadi Liakhovetski Signed-off-by: Mauro Carvalho Chehab
